    Okay, I got this idea off an outside source (:D) whereby we take an obscure continental team (in their case its Córdoba CF of the Spanish Segunda division) and as a forum we support them as our honourary team for the season.

    We need guys to nominate a team (no feeder clubs or sister clubs to English or Irish teams, we want everyone on the same page :pac:) and then we'll do a poll and decide who the official boards soccer team is for this season! We should try to pick a club that will hopefully encounter some drama, either through a battle for promotion or fight to survive. And if possible a story or something to set it apart. It can be a top flight club but in that case preferably a minnow.


    Then in the spirit of learning, we try and learn a bit about the club, their players, its history, its ground etc etc etc and follow their results!!



    So fire away with suggestions!


    Maybe I should have included Scottish teams in this but I figured that was clear. It's supposed to be a team that has no connections with any team supported on here that would cause a divide. Seems to have caused a bit of an argument on here. Also eagle eye, I don't think there's any bias towards GAE, I think what you're annoyed about (with just cause) is that your team that you nominated (FC Haarlem) aren't in the poll. But there's no bias that i can see. Dub134 just copy and pasted the summary that was posted in the original thread.

    I backed teams to help have a few so we could have enough on to make the poll. Also, I was open to ideas. I'm an Eagles man all the way no though!

    Yes I just copy and pasted the summary the person who nominated the team put up,some people put up a good one and others just a sentence.Even doing a thread like this using copy and paste it still takes a bit of time.

    It was a big thread an it could be possible we missed a team,if this is the case let me know and I will get them added to the poll.

    Marc Overmars plays for Go Ahead Eagles. He started his career there and is also now a director at the club.

    No contest!

    Is there any need to leave it open for a week Dub13? Surely by the end of the weekend most of the regular users of the soccer forum will have been on and can cast their vote if they are interested? Maybe close it at 5.30 Monday after everyone has finished work. I know its only a few extra days to Thursday, but we dont want to drag it out too long. Plus the original idea was floated on Tuesday, so to close the pool on Monday next would mean the whole process took a week. Surely adequate?

    I have no prob with this is we have a consensus,the only thing I would change is maybe close it late Monday night.

    If its very close on Monday night we may be best to leave it for the full 7 days.
