wildwing64 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't have a favourite team as such, but my hometown is also home to the Essex Spartans.I used to know a guy from that team. He was the Offensive coach during my brief stint with my University's Anglia Ruskin Phantoms. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't follow gridiron much these days, but I did think about trying out for my university team before I realised they trained first thing sunday mornings and I'd be way too hungover... Hertfordshire HurricanesI used to follow the London/England Monarchs, travelled to London to see them a couple of times a season and caught the games in Birmingham when they became a regional team. First NFL game I ever saw was the 1987 American Bowl, Rams vs. Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertfordshire HurricanesMy game against them with the Phantoms was somewhat memorable. Partly because it was my last before I quietly left the team, but mainly because the Hurricanes were so good that me, a rookie, got no playing time at all, so I was standing around doing nothing for the whole duration of the game, and we lost 52-0. The way the Phantoms were run was a bit unorthodox. Since Anglia Ruskin is a multi-campus University - one in Chelmsford and the other in Cambridge - we essentially had half the team on one campus training on offence, and the other on defence. For us on the Chelmsford campus, the offence players, we always had to drive all the way up to Cambridge for both our weekly practice, and home games. And because of the trek every home game felt more like an away game. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or griddle pan).In the UK it's either American Football or Gridiron, depending on how formal you want to be. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm from the states, but we have this channel here in Utah that occasionally picks up CFL games. For some reason, they always televised Saskatchewan Roughriders games, so I became a fan of them. By no means am I a fan on the same level as someone actually from Saskatchewan or who grew up a Riders fan or anything, but I do support them. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That name is just plain awesome. Plus, my ancestry traces back to Baden-Württemberg, so I have a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I follow the Perth Blitz but only cos their ground is a couple of minutes away from where I live. My preference may change next year when i start playing youth football (so exicited) and i don't think they have a youth team. As for the CFL i go for the BC Lions My fantasy teams: West Coast Cardinals (WRU), Glasgow Claymores (RLI) (Champions 2012) and Pemberton Foresters (VBL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
