Lower division clubs you like and dislike

"I use to keep an eye on Orient for years but was turned off when they got involved in the Olympic Stadium decision. I like to see Coventry do well, they’ve been through it over recent years. Stoke is one I always hope to see lose. Them and Millwall of course. Who do you keep an eye on?"

Port Vale the only club in the English football league not to be named after a town or a city.

Always liked to follow Port Vale when Channel 4 used to have the lower division games. No reason I can think of. Completely arbitrary. Still look out for their results now and again.

Bolton since they relegated us in 2003 and Oldham for nicking the Second Division title from us on the final day.

That league cup game against Wimbledon sticks in my my mind like yesterday as I was recovering from acute tonsillitis and only decided to go at the last minute. By the end of 90 minutes I had no voice whatsoever Julian getting sent off for taking out Wise was no surprise and a mass brawl. Eric Young and co were up to stuff that out on the street would of got them banged up. I remember at every corner they got all the coins raining down on them from the northbank and Devonshire coming on as sub in a game that his class was totally out of place in and being outstanding and then mad dog nearly bursting the back of the net with the winner.

"Btw, I don't really like any other English team - have to be honest. It's not that I hate most teams - although there are a few on that list! - it's just that I've never had much time for any other football clubs. I'm just ambivalent about all teams who are not West Ham. I can appreciate good players from other sides, but almost never the club itself. Le Tissier at Southampton was a case in point in the 90s. Bang average club in all ways - and really disengaged, unpassionate support who I thought were a waste of space - but he was amazing to watch live. Wasted on them. I do follow an Italian side, because of friends and extended family etc. That's it, really. It's all about us!"

"TM - yep, absolutely loved being there that night. Not only did we turn over a strong Wimbledon side - but we did it by kicking the bejesus out of them AND playing some football. Gave them a taste of their own medicine and they absolutely hated it. You could see that they did not like getting beaten at their own game. Shame we were so damn inconsistent around that time."

"Each his own, I suppose, but I could never muster any enthusiasm for liking, or having a soft spot, for other clubs, all a bit bent for me. Someone said earlier they have a soft spot for Charlton because they use to work near there, I mean ffs, come on."

"I always hated the old Wimbledon and that continues with the new one. Birmingham are scummy. Generally dislike Wigan, Swansea and Bolton from when they were prem. I'm indifferent to Millwall apart from their psychopath element. Quite like QPR."

Would happily see Barnet go out of existence. Have lived there for most of the last 35 years and have had dealings with them in the past.

"Always had a soft spot for Charlton because I used to work close to the Valley. And also look out for Pompey results as a few or ""er in doors"" relatives live in Portsmouth. I hate Leyton Orient all because of the over bearing and obnoxious Barry Hearn"

Me and my pals at school all followed different teams but we all used to go and watch Barnet together when we were kids in the 80’s. Went to quite a few away games as well. The derby against Enfield used to be very lively. Will always have a soft spot for them and great to see them flying at the mo

I managed my boys team and played Sutton Utd & AFC Wimbledon who were both non league at the time. Both clubs managers were difficult and as a result I despised both clubs for many years. Not really bothered now.

"Torquay Utd. Not sure why - I've never seen them live, and don't even remember if I've been to Torquay. I think they had some links with West Ham a few years ago - that's probably it."
