If you don't live on Teesside, who is your local team and do you go and watch them?

[goalscrounger]

For me it's Chicago Fire in the MLS. Despite somehow persuading Xherdan Shaqiri to play for them, they are awful. We have four season tickets at work (given for free by the club) but I still haven't been tempted to go yet this year (maybe I will now the English footy season is over).

 

[The_Lizards_Jumpers]

Hitchin Town FC (Southern League Premier Division Central), and yes I go and watch them now and again.

 

[Derby_Red]

Borrowash Victoria - not got round to seeing them yet, but they play in red and white stripes so it's a difficult one.

Obvs Derby County are only slightly further away, but y'know.

 

[rkangel]

Dulwich Hamlet. I go a few times a season and always enjoy it win, lose or draw. Which tells me I'm not really a proper DH fan no matter how much I try to pretend.

 

[Capybara]

Dulwich Hamlet. No (been once).

 

[FlapJacks]

Lewes Town, or if I want the big time it's Worthing FC.

 

[h_m_boro]

Stockport County. Less than 10 min drive from my house. Went to more games when they were in the National North, but managed to get to one this season - 5-0 drubbing of Southend.

 

[Malaguena]

Take wild stab in the dark .... and yes, reasonably often

 

[SmallTown]

Brentford FC, went a few times to the old ground but Premiership has pushed them out of the casual fans reach in both cost and availabilty.

Shame!

Shame!

Tragically not an issue with Malaga

Dulwich Hamlet are my local team and I’ve been a few times, but the other half’s family live near Maidstone so we’ve been going to lots of their games this season and will be watching them in the National League next time out. Cray Wanderers are quite close but haven’t been there yet, likewise Bromley, but have been to Millwall a few times down the years. Beckenham Town is on the list too.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Yes. Go to a mix of Barnet, Boreham Wood and St Albans City

 

[Piccadilly Day Tripper]

I live round the corner from a struggling little team called Manchester United, and I went to help give them a leg up with the big away following when Boro played them in the cup this season.

Otherwise its the too-cool-for-school hipsters at West Didsbury & Chorlton.

 

[Chutney]

Whitley Bay FC. They're absolutely shocking.

I go all the time.

 

[Hammies_Tash]

Mk Dons, only go when occasionally given hospitality once or twice a season, wouldn't dream of paying for a ticket. I do take in a lot of none league football, ofetn go midweek and saturday, just wherever there is a game, approaching 300 grounds visited, just 7 to go, but getting more difficult getting to new ones

 

[Redinburgh]

I’m a 10 minute walk from Hearts, I have been to a few games over the years but nothing regular. Hibs are only a 25 minute bus ride but the only time I’ve been there is when Boro played them in pre-season friendlies.

 

[Boro in Devon]

Swindon Town - Just not interested in supporting them even though I have lived there for many years. I started supporting Middlesbrough when I first got into football at primary school and wouldnt support anyone else.
For the same reason I support Leicester Rugby when I discovered rugby.

I used to live overlooking Tynecastle on Gorgie Road, and could even see a small part of the stadium from my bedroom window, although never actually bothered to go and see the rest of the stadium.

 

[goalscrounger]

Looks like we have a Dulwich Hamlet supporters' club (Middlesbrough branch) on here!

 

[London_Boro]

Hornchurch FC. Haven't been to see them yet. Although I did watch their cup win on sky with a bunch of mates last year. Great stuff. keep meaning to go one day but always a bit too busy.

Got a great little ground and a club house you can get a beer in (I've been to the club house for a couple of private parties)

Nearest league club would be a toss up between Orient (who I've seen several times) or West Ham (who I've seen twice I think, outside of games against Boro, going with a mate on his dad's season ticket when he couldnt go)
