You can give reasons i you wish or you can just tell me to do one as you aren't gonna waste your time replying to such a pointless thread. That's fine. I'm going to kick it off though and hope others may do the same as i am genuinely interested. Thanks all.

I didn't think Austria knew about football?

Awaits for classic Andy rant...

Can't think of any Premiership team
Burnley (best mate supports them)
Rochdale (after 30 years in L2 I hope they stay up)
Torquay
Aberdeen (local team now)
Slovan Bratislava

We did have the world famous Wunderteam but now we are the Blunderteam.

We're so bad that we even struggled to qualify for EURO 2008 and we were the joint hosts!

No rant i'm afraid Steve because you are correct that Austrians know nothing about football.

Same here ^^^^

Premier League - Newcastle United .. Howay The Lads .. loved them since the days of Asprilla and Phillipe Albert! (that goal V Scumchester)

Championship - Leeds United (for obvious reasons) .. soft spot for Southampton after visiting St Mary's a few times last season!

League One - Huddersfield Town .. used to watch them at the Galpharm as young teenager when i couldn't get to Torquay games.

League Two - Torquay United My one true love! Women have come and gone, so have friends and family and my livers probably gonna pack in soon but no matter what i'll follow this team till the day i die, through thick and thin! .. Macclesfield Town, Used to watch Macc at Moss Rose every other weekend in 05/06. Even went to their famous FA.Cup 3rd round tie at Chelsea where they even equalised for all of 30 seconds before Chelsea restored the lead straight from kick off. Was an awesome feeling for all of us when John Murphy equalised and i'll never forget it. Macc will always have my support

Blue Square Premier - Southport .. due to 2 great seasons on Football manager 2009

Scottish Premier League - Inverness Caledonian Thistle .. always remember when they beat Celtic years a go in the cup and they brought out that song "Super calla go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious"

Obviously Torquay but soft spots for Cardiff (used to live there, really wanted them to be the first Welsh team in the Prem as I've also got a lot of Welsh ancestry) and Carlisle (years of being dragged to mostly away games against South West clubs as my Dad's an exile).

Used to be a Man Utd fan in my (much) younger years, before I realised lower league football was more interesting. So I still want them to win the Prem every year. Swansea are good to watch too. I'd like to see Southampton go up this year as well, they play some good football.

Further afield, I've always had soft spots for Barca, AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Hearts and possibly one or two I forget, after either good experiences at games or foreign holidays where cheap merchandise is freely available... and in the case of Hearts, I really have no idea.

Premiershite. no one at present but Blackpooooooll when they were there Just to hear Ollie with anovur of his rants etc. Class Bloke he is.
Championship. No one really but take an interest in Southampton and again Blackpoooooll

League one. Yeovil and anyone soundly giving that lot up the road a good ole whuppin

League two. Can't think of who I follow in league two

Conference. Forest Green, Bath City.

Conference North. Gloucester City

Scottish prem Inverness Calli. Dunfirmline.

Div one Raith Rovers and Ross County

Div two Cowdenbeath and Ardrie

Div three Berwick. Only as they are they only English club.

Europe.
France. French div 1 Guincamp.

USA Portland Timbers

Obviously you will all choose The Gas as your L2 team next season =D
