Bobby Hundreds Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Just saw that Hayes & Yeading are called The Mushrooms because the board always keep the supporters in the dark.

Off topic, but they're also responsible for a great chant: "We're Hayes, we're Yeading, we'll kick yer fackin' 'ead in"

Verona are their big rivals and were Serie A mainstays (and winners at one point) while Chievo were mixing it in the amateur leagues. Their fans used to sing "when donkeys fly we'll have a derby in Serie A"

Monkey Hangers for Hartlepool is great. I've been fascinated all afternoon reading about the "Monkey Hangers". The mascot being elected mayor being the funniest bit.
Mike Oxlong Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 Young Boys of Bern play at Wankdorf. This is just wrong.
Patrick Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 'Addicks' for Charlton Athletic. That's a pretty bad one.
onekeithweller Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 'The Foxes' is pretty decent, we used to be The Filberts

I've often wondered if our nickname has ever been used in a song or chant, I can't think of one if it has. Their ground was built on a cherry orchard.
Izzy Posted 3 February 2017 Posted 3 February 2017 The Foxes is alright - could be worse. I think clubs whose nicknames are birds are crap - Robins, Magpies, Canaries, Owls etc. Rubbish

Aus Fox Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Hampton and Richmond Bourgh are (or were) nicknamed The Beavers. always made me laugh shouting Come on the Beavers!

They are the doonhamers. Cos people from Dumfries tell people from Glasgow and Edinburgh that Dumfries is "doon hame", ie "down home". Cowdenbeath are occasionally referred to as the Blue Brazil. Dundee United are the Arabs. Heart of Midlothian are (as a bit of rhyming slang) the Jam Tarts, and hence the Jambos. I won't go into the various names that Rangers and Celtic call each other.
bovril Posted 4 February 2017 Posted 4 February 2017 Italian ones are pretty rubbish: bianconeri, nerazzurri. I'm not sure if Crazy Man From The Forest Razgrad is brilliant or appalling.

Ted Maul Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I always thought the Red Devils sounded pretty crap. As others have said, any colours are pointless. I like most to do with local industries- Brewers, Cobblers, Mariners, Iron, Blades, etc.
The Fox Covert Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I seem to remember Crawley Town used to call themselves Reds or Red Devils. I worked there for a while in the late 80s. Like most new towns, the population is mostly big city overspill and football supporters tended to support the team from where they originally came from. In Crawley that meant Pala*se. Crawley's old ground was a right joke for a supposedly semi-professional outfit in the old Southern League. A collection of old bus shelters along one side, and a low terrace with about three or four steps at one end. Grass on the other side and end. The souvenir shop was a garden shed. Friar Lane had a better ground when they were in the Leicestershire Senior League. Found a pic on the internet. Acknowledgements to http://crawleytownfchistory.blogspot.co.uk I watched them when they had a bit of a cup run, beating Yeading (pronounced as in 'Reading', the town, not as in 'weeding') and Northampton before getting tonked 5-nil by Brighton.
MPH Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 theres been some terrible ones around the world.. The Pekin Dragons used to be called the Pekin Chinks... There's a baseball team called the Portland wet sox.... a californian team called the banana slugs.. loads... think theres a team somewhere called the purple pounders.....
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 Rothwell town used to be nicknamed the bones, because the town has a crypt.
iamafox Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 'The Cheesemen' for Cheddar AFC. Bloody obvious.
