I'm talking literally very nearest adult team regardless of league-mine is Godalming and Guildofrd in the Combined Counties Football League. Ground with one stand, about 5 minutes from my house- across the Golf Course-hoping to see az couple of games next season, only £6 to get in.
Cork City FC and yes of course I do.
Watch a bit of MSL as well, mostly Avondale Utd.
Mine is Bohemians and i go most Fridays.
Old Trafford - Nope!!!
Mine is St.James Gate and I don't support them.
I live in the Dublin city centre, so there is no club really close to my place. You don't find stadiums usually in the heart of the city, lack of space...
Lansdowne is about half an hour walk I guess (maybe less even), Tolka and Dalymount and Richmond Park can be reached in less than an hour walk. I do support Shels.
However, I never agreed with the "always support your local team", in Belgium I supported a team at 50 miles from home, and I don't support Belgium or Ireland - I support Norway.
Support the team you like most, no matter how close or far away. :ball:
You must walk very slowly ;)
The closest team to where I live is Bohemians, a mile away at most, and I have a season ticket.
Century Homes Park (or Gortakeegan as it was then) is the closest ground to where I grew up, about a mile and a half away, and I (obviously) support Monaghan United FC.
Last season was difficult when both United and Bohs played home games on Friday night, but now United are back to Sunday afternoon home games. With the new M1 and the Carrickmacross by-pass I can be home for games in an hour and a half - Sunday lunch with my mother then a game. Only downside is no pints after the game.
White Hart Lane, Tottenham.
Only been there once in the last fifteen years and that was to see them play CELTIC. :D
But next year my local ground will be the Stadio Via Stazione in Newbridge, where I will be for every home game.
My local team is Queen's Park Rangers but, whilst I have a "soft spot" for them, I'm not a fan.
:) PP
Partick Thistle - never been. However as the crow flies (ie over the Clyde) Ibrox is probably nearer. Obviously a big no for that!
Senior team would be Cork City- rarely miss a game. MSL-wise I guess Rockmount and a few others are nearer.
Dalymount Park. I don't support Bohemians but have gone to few Euro games as neutral in the past.
Casement United! Think they play in some Sunday kick-about league. They play in the Clonkeen Meadow - none of this namby-pamby stands or terracing stuff! WOuld stop to watch if I'm walking through, but other than that, no.
Nearest "proper" team is TEK United, who COrk fans will remember from the FAI Cup a few years back. Was at a few friendlies of theirs a few years ago - Pat's and Peterborough.
Nearest league team then is UCD. And I go to see them on the odd occasion! :)
Limerick FC have always been on the other side of town to me but I always the effort.
Ballynanty Rovers are my local team and I occasionally get to see them too. Cmon the Balla boys.
Arsenal I guess - And no Im very pleased to say I dont support them
Willow Park fc-junior and schoolboy outfit with grand designs-good facilities with lots of improvements planned
Athlone's new stadium will be just 3mins away!
looking forward to that :)
aberystwyth town and i don't go the games
Gone to Inchicore for a few Pat's games (but as a neutral).
Thursday matchnights for Dundalk are a disaster for me.
Waterford United when growing up - yes I do still support them
Currently live about half way between Dalymount and Tolka, possibly nearer Dalyer - depends on who they are playing, but I'd be at five or ten Bohs games any given year - work and Blues permitting. Wouldn't even say I have a soft spot for them, but I do find myself getting worked up anytime that Foley and Keddy make the team still :mad: .
And the rest of the First Division :mad:Quote:
