Rayo Vallecano to be too cool.
Atletico. Went to a game in their recent title winning season at the old stadium, great fun.
Athletico.
100% Real.
Has to be [emoji122][emoji108]Quote:

Anyway I would go for Rayo Vallecano
Well, I lived in Munich for six years, ignored Bayern and still supported Hibs so...
it would still be Hibs.
It would've been fun following Leganes the last couple of seasons, but Rayo or Atleti for me. Never Ever R.Madrid (but I do love their ground)
Gotta be. Growing up in the sixties they were the glamour team and still are.Quote:

Atlético.
Went to their new stadium for a match. It was class!
Depends which roundabout you stay near...
Hibs or W Ham. Been to both stadia.Quote:

Atletico are a bunch of industrial cloggers and have been for decades, their stadium is close to a stinking brewery, their colours are a shade of pink. THUGS! They're just horrible.
OK so Real are somewhat robust at the moment ;-) I'd see that in the same way as Hibs are no longer a boy band team but in among the flair there's an element of steel!
I’m biased because my Dad is a real fan but Atletico are very like the Jambos, scarf twirlers with six fingers etc! Not Real Class!!😏
Me too. I had Real Madrid TV on freeview for about a year and I don't think there's a club in the whole world more up itself. Atletico are just too red white & blue for me :greengrinQuote:

Can’t imagine that changing if I suddenly moved to Madrid, which is much closer to Easter Road than I am now.
St Johnstone
Barcelona and the locals be damned.........:greengrin
If we were brought up in Madrid it would depend on who my Dad supported.

Always be my team 😀
There's also Getafe but I don't know how they're doing these days.
Madrid would put me closer to Scotland, so Hibs, and Real.
I saw Atletico in rural North Wales in 1985, they visited Bangor City in the Cup winners Cup, footage on YouTube should someone by remotely interested, superb memories, the ground is now asda and think about that day every time I go there!
I don't think your dad should get to dictate who we all follow. :greengrinQuote:

I’d probably just play golf to be honest.
Same as Living in Manchester. Watch whoever is playing but support Hibs. If we're on tv I skip live games etc. When I can get home I come to Easter Road.
It's Hibs first last and always.
The bigger clubs are not better.

Real remind me of rangers in in a loose way - they were Gen. Francos team, the team of the establishment, enough said really.
Hibs 😁
People saying they'd still support hibs are missing the point a wee bit.
I think the OP is asking what Madrid team would you pick to follow if you had to pick one as well as supporting hibs.
This.:aok:Quote:

There's still a whiff of that in the air round Real.
This! Went over to the game in January v Las Palmas and can comfortably say that's one of the best stadiums I've ever been to.Quote:

If I was living in Madrid and Real were the only team in existence there I think I'd start following Spanish snooker or something instead. My level of loathe for them is pretty intense.
Rayo Vallecano for me. A smaller local team, more in line with my left-wing thinking.

Quite an interesting article on them above. Worth a read if you are bored.

Leganes?
Always liked real but barcelona are **** hot too
Definitely! It’s a proper fan experience. We went in October and the weather was good. Few beers and a bite to eat whilst wandering around the stadium.Quote:

Probably Barca....
Real - establishment and financial cheating beyond der Hun.
Athletico: Could never forget their Champions Cup semi versus Celtic who they proceeded to kick off the park. Spanish football at its then most typical.

Actually the republicans were the legitimate government before and during the civil war. The rebels (nationalists) were Franco's mob who subsequently became the regime.Quote:

I hate it :grr::grr::grr: when someone knows more than me and shows up my ignorance on a public forum...but hey ho we all know who the good guys were.Quote:

Probably Getafe as their name is similar to my favourite Arab dictator's.
Club Atletico de Madrid.Quote:
