For whatever reason I’ve always had a soft spot for the smaller London teams, like Orient, Fulham and Brentford… and even QPR. Basically, they’re not Chavs or Spam or Goons.

I want them to stay up and Reading to go down. Reading are the opposite of a ‘soft spot’ for me. I hate them for no real reason. They’re like a really shit version of Leicester.
Luton. I've been to a few games there over the years because of friends/family. They've fought their way up from the conference to the top three of the championship in quite a short space of time.
Old school ground where the fans are in the player's faces. Right up close. I mean you can ping the elastic on their shorts if you're so inclined.
That said, if they do make it to the PL, I'd want Spurs to piss on their boaters and leave them cowering in the corner.

Leyton Orient.
My true local club as I was born in Clapton.
As it is, a really good mate is now a minority owner even though he has no connection to the club.
We’ve promised to do the whole playoff thing in style if/when they make it.
His ownership piece is a pretty expensive proposition. I’ve thought about asking him for a piece of a piece but I know it would be purely for vanity and nostalgia reasons and, more importantly, Mrs G would kill me for flushing away that kind of cash.

It's a lovely ground, been a few times.
But things move on...

I always thought it was to do with Stellios and EasyJet. But Orange always a Luton colour anyway, just became more prominent. Might be completely wrong though
Yes, I think you’re right. They’ve switched between both at various points in time. One did coincide with EasyJet bring their sponsor.
I didn't see that thread, but this one is for any club in general, not just English league.
... all these Welsh characters that don't know how vowels and consonants work.
Wealdstone. Although it's more than a soft spot.
I've always preferred Concord Rangers myselfThe Airfixx Derby:
CANVEY ISLAND 0, SPURS XI 11
Lee Barnard bagged four goals and Charlie Daniels hit an 18-minute hat-trick as our Spurs XI scored XI at Canvey Island on Monday night.www.tottenhamhotspur.com
I got a bit of a hook into Dundee United with their European success in the mid-80’s. That was a great team which really punched above their weight. I’m sure they got to the semi-final of the European Cup (predecessor to the Champions League for any youngster here) and maybe the Final of the European Cup Winners Cup or UEFA cup (predecessors to the Europa League).
A long time ago but I could name half of their team off the top of my head today.

I'd have to say Enfield Town as it's my local team (apart from Spurs obviously).
Sometimes i think jacking in Spurs and supporting Enfield would be a simpler life. But it'll never happen.
