    Love this thought it was excellent. Unfortunately it doesn't cover the LOI.

    Came out as Everton and Kilmarnock for me.

    At least Blackburn was 5th.

    Going by my old post code, Fulham came out top. I can live with that.

    We had a few addresses that I only have a vague memory of so I just put in the area where I was registered on my birth cert. Of the few addresses I put in, QPR was always in the top 2!

    Seeing Chelsea on that list is a proper eyesore.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭abelard


    Unsurprisingly, given I'm in West London suburbia -

    QPR
    Fulham
    Chelsea (who I actually support)

    Had I used this as the basis to pick a football team, I would probably still have ended up with Chelsea. While Loftus Rd and Craven Cottage are closer to me in straight line distance, travelling to Stamford Bridge is a much quicker and easier affair.

    My actual local team is Brentford though, who are just down the road.

    QPR came out on top for me from my old address in London. My Dad's supported Arsenal since the early 70s, and my brother was the same. (8.1m away from us according to this thing.) I was young enough to be turned to United by my uncle when I came over here though! THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL.
