Thats shocking
No offence but when i went to watch York play Stevenage last season we were all laughing at the people in their end wearing Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea shirts Id be embarassed if i saw people at York games wearing Leeds shirts.

No offence taken, i'd never where clubs colours to my other club, but i know people who do.
I really dont get all the anti about having a 2nd club either, not only on here but on other forums. I dont know if its my age group, or the area i live but about 90% of people i know have two teams.

Its just considered a very non league thing to do and one way to separate proper clubs from tinpot clubs. I will never be able to understand how you can support two. I love my club and couldnt imagine getting even slightly excited by any other. I look out for certain clubs but their results never have any real effect on me.

i dont understand why youd support two clubs if you are a season ticket holder for your main one, but if you arent i can see why as some weekends it might be difficult to see your side and you fancy watching football so you go support your local side

Aye, I've been to watch Selby Town when York havent been playing and im bored. Dont get excited about them though and id never say i supported them because i dont, maybe watch them twice a season. Just keep an eye out out of interest.

I have 2 other teams I'd potentially go and watch. Wycombe Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday. Wycombe because I was born there and Wednesday because they are my Dads team. I've been to quite a few Wednesday games and have a Wycombe shirt from a few seasons ago.
But I'm Gooner through and through.

You would never say you supported them though would you? I take it their results have zero emotional effect on you
Thats the difference

Im tempted in going to see Telford play today in thier semi final play off; think ild rather watch that than get pissed off watching Wolves most likely loose against the baggies!
5000 crowd expected at Telford today; not bad for non league.

Nice to know we're mathematically safe now
Not sure why there was such a fuss about the Taylor elbow on Jerome, looked completely unintentional to me.
