What favorite foreign football club do you support ?

I start this topic knowing that as a newcomer on this board ( and i like it ! ) and a a dutchman i have a different choice then the most of you.

First of course my club NEC Nijmegen ( who has a terrible run of 1 point of possible 39 furious ) and hopefully will sack the manager this week

Second Fulham FC the club I support for already 15 years because of the friendly ties with NEC

Third Exeter ( do not ask me whywink )

 

What are yours?

Real Oviedo of course :) ( Spanish 3rd division side who produced Michu, Santi Carzola and Juan Mata ) Last season 3 Hastings fans including myself bought shares when they were about to go bust and together with 4000 other Brits and others around the world helped save them, we went across there earlier this year and played in a fans tournament at their training ground, made some good friends!

 

If your interested watch this film that was made about it.... ( we all make cameo appearances! )

I always look out for the results of Den Haag as I have friends who live there and when i was a kid, Leeds played them in Europe. I think it was my first experience of a Leeds European match.
I also follow the results of TNS (Welsh Prem) - ever since they sent their mascot "Spot" to help out at the Harrogate replay and presented us with a signed shirt.

Coming from Ireland originally I used to follow Dublin City but they disbanded a few years ago so I keep an eye on Shelbourne's results.

For some weird reason I started checking out De Graafschap who had maybe one season in the top Dutch league a few years ago - I think maybe it was the sympathy vote because they were always going to be relegated plus it's a, um, fantastic sounding name.......

Dan - that's a most refreshing account of what you and your mates did for Real Oviedo - nice one.

Hamilton Academicals, I just love the name. I guess that's me knackered for living in Scotland if they vote yes to independence.

I keep a eye out for Real Oviedo as like it seems everyone I know, I have shares with.. Real Madrid are the team I like watching..... English team is Sheffield Wednesday (season ticket holder) and in between I get to as many Hastings games as I can.

Being a Swansea fan as well as Hastings, I also follow ADO Den Haag's results, as they have a good bond with Swansea and often play each other pre-season. Den Haag fans often travel to see the Swans play, including our last two trips to Wembley.

Not a foreign team but a few years ago went to the Scilly Isles off the coast of Cornwall. Their League comprises of two teams...the Woolpack Wanderers and the Garrison Gunners. They play each other 17 times in a season , 16 in the League and a Cup Final......I did wonder if it got boring.

Great story!

To return to Bert's original theme of years ago, I take an interest in Seongnam FC who play in the K-League (South Korea's top professional league). My daughter in law is Korean and her cousin, who I keep in regular contact through a translator app on Messenger, is a Seongnam supporter. (He had a holiday in England a few years ago and came to Pilot Field for a game over the Christmas period - he was favourably impressed!) The K-League season is just commencing - with spectatators although capacity is restricted due to Covid. Good some people are able to watch football.

Geoff, are there any games between South Korea and North Korea, or are they still not friends.

Hello Phil, politically they're still very much not friends. People can't travel between North and South Korea and there are lots of people in the South who were born in the North and have family there who they haven't seen in decades.
But football is very popular both North and South and they do play internationals against each other. When they are not playing each other people on both sides will support the 'other' Korean team - not like us and Scotland!

It was good to see Ben White in an England shirt though Phil. We can always do with International players with a Sussex connection!

Getting confused in my old age Geoff, saw Ben White on Bexhill sea front on Sunday morning , then realised not the same player. This one used to play for us.
