well i support 2 teams and it's all my Dad's fault.. I started going to footie with him so I follow the same teams...

I'll admit he was abit of a glory boy when he grew up and started watching United.. even though we live in Kent.. they were the best team of the day and he wanted to watch the best players.. in them days you could even get a ticket to a match.. Dad started taking me to United so I follow them..

We both also follow Palace who are our local side.. even when they are in Div 1 or whatever it is called then we still go and watch them..

And you get a sore neck.

Got any decent cures, I probably need to know now.

[It is better watching the lower league teams though]

it's not easy but it doesn't happen that often.. usually i hope for a draw but it depends on what each team is going for at the time

and i thought i was bad supporting 2 teams but three

still least they all fairly near each other

You guys supporting more than one team aren't proper fans IMO.

I've always been a Forest fan and can't ever see myself supporting another team. It just isn't football.

Named after the Royal Irish Distillery.

Quote:

In 1869, Dunville & Co., a firm of Belfast blenders, established the Royal Irish distillery near Grosvenor Road, in the outskirts of Belfast. Operations, on a scale not seen in Belfast before, began a year later. By producing pot still, malt and grain whiskey in its distillery, the company was soon completely self-sufficient and Dunville's whiskey obtained first gold medals at a range of exhibitions. Despite its initial success, the distillery could not avoid being dragged down in the general collapse of the Irish whiskey industry and basically closed in the late 1930s; a brief bout of distilling in the early 1950s led to the handful of bottles of Royal Irish whiskey still around. Although the main buildings survived until the 1980s, the Royal Irish distillery would have gone the way of many closed distilleries had it not spawned something that keeps its name very much alive beyond the last drop of its whiskey: a football club!
The story of a unique chapter in Ireland's whiskey heritage begins with Robert Baxter. Baxter moved from Banbridge to Belfast's Grosvenor Street in 1878. A keen cricketer, he became friendly with some of the employees of the nearby Royal Irish distillery and in the summer of 1879 they formed the V.R. Distillery Cricket Club under his captaincy. By the end of 1880, the members of the cricket club decided to form a football club in order to stay active during the winter months: Distillery Football Club was born and held its first practice session on November 20 1880.

don't you have a local non league side where you are though and look at their results every week to see how they get on ?

It's just the way Dad got me into football by taking me and Palace and Man U and cheering on both teams.. i've just always done it..

i know it can be abit strange but then so can I

No, not really- and the notion of supporting two teams seems alien to me.

As I've said- what happens when they play?

sherer · 12-01-2005, 16:20

well earlier in the season when palace when to Man U i wanted Palace to win as Man U seemed out of the title race and don't want palace to get relagated..
