Do you support a 2nd team?

I follow Barnet, although I rarely get to games. I used to go every week when I was 12-15. It was affordable, a good laugh and I couldn't get tickets for Arsenal.

Anyone else follow a 2nd team. And for what reasons?

When we moved out of London I was too young and we were too skint for me to get to Highbury so I started going to watch Gillingham.

I'll never forget the gents which was three and a half walls of breeze block with no roof. I ended up going home and away with mates from school. It was cheap and there were always tickets.

I'll also never forget two consecutive play-off finals. The first against Citeh (how times change) and then taking 44,000 against Wigan.

I still went to Higbury but only about half a dozen times a season until I started work.

Well my second team now once was my first as I grew supporting Palmeiras and still do. But for several reasons Arsenal grew on me and nowadays, as the power tug of war has taken my brazilian club, I don't even follow them that hard

Sometimes head down to Woking FC, bad thing is most of their fans are mainly chelski fans

In answer to the question, 'Do you support a 2nd team' the answer would have to be NO.

There is team i used to watch as a kid, for the same reasons mentioned by others on this thread, and i still look out for there results but i'd never say i support them.

You can only truly support one team and love one club.

For the record, my "2nd team" is Oxford United.
