Scottish 2nd Division, where they will be put to the sword this year by the mighty Forfar Athletic!
Their past Chairman, David Will, died last year of cancer so they are supporting Cancer Research UK on their shirts. David Will was also Vice President of FIFA and his funeral attracted the top names in world football to the town...

Apart from the local rivalry I have always liked Brechin and played for their youth team many many years ago.
Thanks - you are now officially my hero - I've never met anyone who played for a football team. (And don't say - it was only Brechin youth team - you must have been a decent player). Any of the old magic still there?
Thanks for the link as well - very impressive and interesting - local football is so much more interesting than who Man City will sign next.
I love Soccer Saturday on Sky with results flying in and the great Geoff Stelling excitedly saying "and there's been a 3rd goal at Stranraear - and it's McClean with his 2nd of the game and his 8th of the season. And did you know Mclean has never been on the losing side when scoring twice".
I develop favourites in all divisions and have lived all over Britain with my job - so always supported the local team as my 2nd team (to the mighty Naarwich City). I therefore look out for about 10 teams' results.
I'll need to decide who to support between Forfar and Brechin now.
Brechin have the cancer thing - so I'll have to go with them. Sorry.
I'll start a thread when the season starts if I remember. Forfar vs Brechin
