Double Trouble

[ajmant]

My sporting allegiances revolve around three teams. All local. The Villa of course, Moseley Rugby and Warwickshire Cricket. Two of those currently sit bottom of their respective leagues. Warwickshire better have a decent year!  So 2016 looks like it’s going to be double relegation. Terrific.

I look for the results of some other teams but no more than a passing glance.

So has anyone else got the same ‘Double Trouble’ or remember similar situations in years gone by for their respective teams? I’m sure others might have a Triple Trouble etc etc! I hate 2016!!

Yes same three with me, also add the Brummies speedway won the elite league then went bump the next season now back but in the third tier

Villa, Bromsgrove Rovers Sporting and Boston Red Sox are the only teams I care about. Red Sox were shit last season. Meanwhile Bromsgrove are battling for the title and i'm off over there tomorrow for the game against Coventry United, Bromsgrove are top and Batches Utd are second.

I can't follow Moseley, it feels too close, I've played with a lot of guys who are either on their books or who have been.  On top of that I was in Northampton when I got heavily into rugby so they always felt like the 'right' choice.

Villa bottom of the league and getting thrashed every week

My little lads team Newport Pagnell Jaguars under 8's are also bottom of the league and getting thrashed every week (he is the top goal scorer though)

Same with me and Kiddy harriers.

Not a good season.

Happily Genoa Cricket & Football club seems safe this year so I am avoiding the triple.

My double is Villa and Bedford Rugby.  Same league as Moseley but having a blody decent season after a couple of dodgy ones.  We've got a big cup Qtr final at home to Jersey tonight so off to that in a couple of mins.  great to enjoy sporting occasions.  Should we win and Mose win theirs tomorrow, we'll play in the semis.
The one thin I struggle with, and have for the fifteen years I've followed them, it their knickname is the Blues.  I've never been able to shout "come on you Blues"  Wonder why?

For me as a  Worcestershire man WCC for cricket. In fact we do tend to see warks as a bit of a nose team.

My adopted team over here were FCVestsjælland, as close to a local team as I could get.

2012/13 Unexpectedly promoted to the Danish top division - Supaliga.
2013/14 Unexpectedly survive in Supaliga activating all manor of bonus clauses and prompting the signing of more experienced (expensive) players.
2014/15 relegated from Supaliga
Autumn 2015 wound up.

NFL I've always.been a Dolphins fan after being force fed stories of the 17-0 team when I started playing in the 80s.
Pretty much perennially shit.
