Watford, with due humility.

I met some Watford supporters once. On their way to the semi final in 1984, they pitched up outside the Airport Fish Bar on the Cov Road. We gave them really shit directions to Villa Park but then I was 13 and only knew the way via the 58/11 buz.

I once worked for a woman who had a Watford season ticket. Apparently she also had a reputation for being a terrible boss but I never a a problem with her.

One of my maths teachers at school was a Watford supporter.  Really nice bloke.  Never met one before or since, though.

Don't think I've ever met a Watford fan.

We had a new area manager from Watford who I think supported them. I only saw him once as the company then rearranged all the regions. He looked very similar to Jim Dale.

A former colleague of mine is a Watford support. Very nice man but knows F all about football. Exactly the sort of man you would expect from St Albans.

I know a Watford supporter who lives over here. I definitely would too

Also, it is amazing to read an article about them which does not mention either Elton John or Sir Graham.

Watford is somewhere you pass on the way to London. That's about all I know of the place. We parked there for the 1996 League Cup win.

We stayed there for the 2019 play-off final.
