Saddlers will always be my no.2, and I subconsciously change my 3rd/4th favourite constantly (between say Arsenal, Liverpool, Argyle, depending on the way they're playing at any time. For instance I quite liked Newcastle a few years back, and Ipswich back in the 70s.)
I've always been very proud that a lot of fans I've met over the years have put Albion in their 2 or 3 position. I've worked all around England, and we're genuinely quite well liked.
However, I can imagine that a lot of 'floaters' are starting to put Albion in about position no.90 (just above Chelsea and ManU), simply because of the brand of football we're playing these days. Can't blame them. I watch Albion on VipBox most Saturdays, and there's a mini-forum on there - it's embarrassing to read some of the comments made about us these days.
So what? These people don't put any funds into the Club - and never will - but I live in a holiday town now, and meet fans from all parts, so I used to feel very proud when they'd say they genuinely liked Albion and the way we play.
Who's your 2nd/3rd teams?
