Unlucky 13th. Despite being just 24miles from my Chosen Home of Worship I've still got 12 football clubs closer to me than the Mighty 'Ats.

10 of them are better placed in the league too. :uhoh:

How many teams are closer to you than your own club?

Ditto.

I'm looking at houses back nearer to me roots but there'd still be just one club closer to me than the Mighty Town .... Tw&tford. :nonono:

Non. Boro are closest. and,there is really no excuse for it..It's betrayal of yer home...Like being English but supporting Hitler in 1940,cos he was getting on top a bit...Only,far more serious than that!:eek: :laugh: It shows lack of character and loyalty,it does! Like all the Man U fans in Surrey! :evil4:

Can I park outside, Jak? It's £8 in the Utting Road carpark. (Although the lads do save us a space when it's full)

75 clubs closer but so fuckin' what :brow: You don't have to be born in Bethlehem to be a Christian.

The fuckin Forces Of Darkness are my number 1. :nonono:

That said, the list isn't very accurate. Hampden is literally round the corner from my gaff and is home to the mighty Queens Park. And the street I grew up in is even closer.

My first ever football match? Queens Park v Forfar, Scottish Cup Quarter Final, Hampden Park, 1981. Glasvegas ; keepin' it real since 1981.

I park on Cherry Lane, It occasionally costs me a quid. Also cost me my no claims bonus once. Reckon it's still cheaper in the long run than £8 a game. Next season could see a bit of a change, all the free spaces in the surrounding streets will be ressies only.

Cheers! Did you know that our current manager is a former Everton player?

Raymond Atteveld, 51 league games (1 goal) between '89 and '92. Then went on to West Ham and Bristol City.
