In truth no-one. I only support Villa and they are trying my **** patience in recent years. 

 

Someone's going to need to 'splain to me this (very English?) notion of hipsterism and certain euro-clubs. Not getting this one -- just like I don't get mushy peas.

They're the cool kids current club of choice, when you say "I quite like Dortmund" people assume it's because you're a johnny come lately attracted to them because Klopp is a media darling and sky tell you to like them

The reality is I like them because when I was a boy they had amazing fluorescent kits

I've explained why I'm a barca fan, but I've stopped buying barca shirts after the current wave of support, just stick to wearing my 98/99 shirt

You have to spot them on the rise, then you can say you liked them before they were good/got media attention.

I must be a Dortmund hipster too, started following them in 1988 when I lived there, with their glow in the dark hi vis kits of the late 80's, early 90's, Dortmund felt like the west mids of Germany, with BVB as the Villa and Gelsenkirchen Blues as the knuckle dragging rivals down the road.

couple of obvious answers here from me

 

Barry Town, obviously, and lucky enough to support them through a few mad years when they had european football every year, which meant travelling around europe to watch your drinking buddies get tonked 8:0 by the likes of Dynamo Kiev. But it also meant great moment like seeing them play away in europe, seeing the likes of Shevchenko and Deco etc have to play footy at my local 2,000 seater ground and seeing a few euro wins, home and away, along the way. Seen them play literally hundreds of times.

 

St Pauli, just for the hell of it, a nice ethos and I do like a good loud choreographed sing song. Not been there, but I've been to The Zeitgeist in London on a matchday and that was fun. Bit of a hipster thing - I've even got the tee shirt! Went to a gig in Sankt Pauli shirt and the lead singer had the same shirt on! We bonded over a lager in the pub over the road just before the gig. Happy days. Never seen them live.

 

Valletta of Malta. I was working there when they won the league one year and managed to get on the team bus for the trip home through the street. Just mental, the palyers had a sound system on a low loader lorry singing quite a rude song about local opposition, Birkikara. Great memories. Seen them maybe 6 or 8 times.

 

But the only team that gets me pissed off for a Monday morning is Aston Villa. The only team where I try luck to influence a game (deliberately not watching, or deliberately wearing specific trainers on matchday etc.), is Aston Villa. I've stood on the original Holte End, I've seen 1970s violence outside, I've had corporate entertainment! I've sat next to Jimmy Rimmer! and I was there for the 5:1. I guess I've seen them around 70 / 80 or more times, probably more as there have been a couple of seasons a while back where I'd have saved money with a season ticket.
