    Dad's side of the family including my brother - Sheffield Wednesday.

    Mums side generally support Sunderland.

    At end of 1980s as I started to get in to football I had a choice but I remember watching Newcastle play on TV in a boring 0-0 game and said that's my team. Fortunately my mums side of the family were all born in Newcastle.

    Obviously Sheffield Wednesday have a special place in my heart.

    I went to university of Sheffield and was a season ticket holder at Chesterfield so have a soft spot for them.

    I spent some of my teenage years in Glostershire (sp) and my mate earned £70 a week for forest green rovers and played against Nottingham forest in the fa cup and he ended up havibg a trial with Nottingham forest so have a soft spot for forest green rovers

    My current local team are hornchurch afc

    Dads team - doesn’t really watch footy anymore but took me to my first game at SJP so it’s NUFC all the way.

    Uncles team (1 of 6) - NUFC

    Mams side of the family - not really into footy

    Brothers (2) - not really into footy

    Seems I’m pretty much the only one in the family that’s really into footy, families are ****ing weird!

    Oh, father in law is Man Yoo...nee idea how the **** that happens as he’s lived up here (Gateshead) all his life, typical Man Yoo fan tho innit, living neewhere near the place!!

    Seeing mentioned the mighty Plymouth Argyle, the sleeping giants of the sleepy SouthWest was a shock.
    New owner seems OK from all accounts, but for the last 10 years, it's been a basket case -.owned by a 'property developer'. I think, from what I've read, they had a narrow escape when the new guy came in.
    Beware what you wish for and all that.
