Your favourite 2nd team.
Can be any league, this is the team you support as well as Rovers or you watch out for their results positively the most.
Rovers reserves or City are banned. 😊
Thanks for all your amazing contributions to the last poll.

see, I haven't really got one. But I do like particular 'sides'. For example....
Arsene's Arsenal, but not George Graham's Jurgen's Liverpool, but not many of the others for 20 years Man City with Lee, Law, Summerbee, Corrigan, Book, but not Pep's Southampton at times when they've had a number of their bright young things coming through, before inevitably selling them on Spurs with Hoddle and Waddle A bit clouded by hindsight, but almost anyone managed by Bobby Robson Etc etc

Fondness for? Ipswich or PSV by looks of it....

Union Berlin. If Carlsberg did a Football Club, it would look like Union. UTG und Eisern Union.

Always had a soft spot for Torquay United, they were the first team I saw the Rovers play back in the late 60’s at ,Eastville , we’re in Devon one late season and went to Plainmoor and Lyndsay Parsons was playing for United by then, be good to see them back in the mainstream soon ( without the poison dwarf😀)

Hibernian for me.
Edit: Oh, and since going to Argentina, I've got a real soft spot now for Argentinos Juniors.

I think the why is as interesting as who here right? I've had a few over the years.
Currently it's FC United who have I adopted since moving moving to Mancunia. There is much to admire about what they have managed to achieve and the principles they stick to but, putting all that side, the atmosphere they create is pretty much 2nd to none and they are about the only surviving example of fan culture that doesn't take itself too seriously. As their fan slogan goes 'FC United - a great bunch of guys and a right bunch of dicks'. I was an original ABU (anyone but United) when I was growing up so this has been a surprise turn for me. They are my only real '2nd' club.
I also have a softspot for Bohemians Prague - another great fan experience if anyone's ever there and they are a gloriously eccentric football club - Real Betis and Celtic. Clearly I have a thing for green. I'll say this quietly in case Epping is listening but I also like Hertha Berlin due to a formative trip I took to the City when I was 18.
As a kid the first team I liked was Oxford United because yellow was my favourite (very glad I got over that one!). Then I got into following Liverpool and definitely qualified as an armchair fan. Glad I got over that too and by 2002 I definitely had because I remember surprising myself by not being very bothered about their treble winning 2001 team. This means I was a Liverpool fan between 1992 and 2000 when they were actually pretty terrible - this surely makes me the most unsuscessful glory hunter of all time!
I like AMPG's idea of liking teams.

S.S.D Lucchese FC (Lucca - Tuscany - Italy) watched many games in the 90's whilst working away, some great local friends and the Golden Lion Pub.

Never had a second team but I am always interested in the games & results of both England & Poland at international level. I stay indoors if they ever play each other.

Why I oughtta... Good documentary about the first top tier Berlin derby here if you haven't seen it. "Lively" sort of covers it.

Went to England Poland 2005 at Old Trafford, Polish supporters filled one end and made a right racket, England won 2-1 but everything outside after was good natured.
