KYMYK Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 ..that's become the fan of a certain club after playing with them in Football Manager for alot of period of time? Since I begun playing Football Manager back in 2000, ( ..you know what I mean. ) I've become a fan of Torquay, Dag & Red, Maidenhead, AFC Wimbledon, Solihull Moors, Cheltenham and especially Chelsea. I check all their IRL progress now, and I even watch Chelsea's matches. It's become my favorite club in the world as of 2003, right before they signed Jose Mourinho, when Claudio Ranieri was still in-charge. I still dream of the day I'll actually go to one of their matches. EDIT: I'd like to point out that im not from the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted October 17, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted October 17, 2010 I wouldn't say I have become a fan but because of playing as certain teams has made me like them a bit more. To the point that I bought a Boca Juniors shirt with Palacio on the back of it due to him being a monster a couple of versions ago. Still haven't been able to get a San Marino Calcio shirt though. On the flip side it has made me dislike teams because they always beat me. Like Cagliari. I don't think I have ever beaten them on FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie9 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yeah, i wouldnt go so far to say a "fan", but i certinaly do keep an eye out for results. My most recent team Keflavik in Iceland, managed them for about 7/8 seasons and always keep an eye out for there results. Also other teams i had success with, such as my time with Genoa.

jasonboyacmilan Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I really like Atletico Madrid because of FM, and I support them in La Liga.

MunkD Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 On the flip side it has made me dislike teams because they always beat me. Like Cagliari. I don't think I have ever beaten them on FM. I feel the exact same way about bleeding Genoa and their flukey last minute goals! I look out for AFC Wimbledon, Peterborough, PSV and Spartak Moscow (except tuesday when I hope they lose heavily). I've got tickets to the chelsea spartak game at stamford bridge, I can't wait to see them in action especially my star striker Welliton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GioGio85 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Im a Spurs fan but living in Gillingham,means I go to a few Gills games and also follow theier progress (or more likely regression) Football manager though has meant that I have built up an affiliation with some other smaller UK teams and other foreign clubs. For example, I have soft spots for Bradford PA, Staines and Bath after successful FM saves.....and my massive successes at Napoli and Den Bosch means that I will always be intrested in what they get up to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Great thread! In a way FM played quite a big part in me becoming a more partisan supporter of St. Albans City. I was already following the club in a fairly casual way after moving to the area quite a few years back but after an amazing save with them back in 2006 (on FM2007) I ended up getting really hooked on Non-League football and the Saints. More and more, I found myself really supporting the team and getting more emotionally attached, plus I started going to all of the home games and the odd away too. These days I'm a season ticket holder, I write match reports for their home games, I have written for the official website and the match day programme, and I also run an unofficial forum for the club. Plus, I'm also involved in the data research for FM. In some ways, I don't think I would have been quite so involved and addicted if it wasn't for FM. These days, I'm a Saint through and through. I also become a follower/admirer of Hellas Verona, mainly because of the book A Season in Verona by Tim Parks, but also because I loved the club's name and found out quite a lot about them via FM saves. Back in the day, I would quite often have an Italian save and end up at Hellas Verona, just as I have in one of my FM10 saves this time around. It also helps that they play in yellow and blue.

anagain Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I could never support anyone in the English leagues except for Bournemouth, the mighty Cherries. I have developed a soft spot for a few teams I have managed in the game. Skarp IF and KFUM Oslo in Norway Koper in Slovenia Forfar in Scotland I follow Bangor City too, but that is as much as living up there as it is playing them in a version of FM.

Zednaught Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 To be honest I wasn't a football fan. My friend gave me the game saying that it was good and I decided to trust him. Now I actively follow Wolves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm becoming a bit of a fan of Burton Albion - I have been playing as them in the last few versions and after a house move last year they are my nearest 'proper' club so I am planning on going to see them play soon!

Alan A Wadge Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 to be honest, I started to follow Cagliari after playing a long career with them a few years back. 4 years ago I was on holiday in Sardinia and by coincidence I ended up watching them take on Juventus! Juve won 2-1 with Cannavaro scoring hte winning goal after 96 minutes when the ref only gave 2 extra minutes. This was the year Juve were stripped of the title!
