    Since its being discussed Rangers thread I found this list online. :50:

    Left Wing Clubs

    AS Livorno Calcio (Italy--and probably the most left-leaning on this list)
    *Celtic F.C (Scotland--Irish nationalist, but Irish nationalism is generally leftist)
    *AEK Athens (Greece)
    *Barcelona (Spain)
    *Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany)
    *St Pauli (Germany)
    *Athletic Bilbao (Spain)
    *PFC Lokomotiv Sofia (Bulgaria)
    *Feyenoord Rotterdam (Netherlands)
    *U.C Sampdoria (Italy)
    *Polonia Warszawa (Poland)
    *Malmo FF (Sweden--ironically in Malmo, probably the most right-wing part of Sweden)*
    Bohemians 1905 (Czech Republic)
    *Hapoel Tel Aviv FC (Israel--their logo is the communist hammer and sickle)
    *FC Arsenal Kyiv (Ukraine)
    *Olympique de Marseilles (France)
    *Besiktas (Turkey)
    *Impact de Montreal (Canada--they wave Cuban and Che flags during matches)
    *Seattle Sounders FC (USA--the singles most antifascist club in America)
    U.S.D. Virtusvecomp Verona(Italy)
    Vasco Da Gama(Brazil--Fought racism and won)
    Athletic Club Omonoia Nicosia(Greece)
    Sporting Toulon (France)
    Bologna F.C. 1909 I(taly)
    Portland Timbers(USA)
    Standard de Liège (Belgium)

    Right-wing/Fascist clubs
    *Zenit St Petersburg (Russia-Most fascist and rightwing club on this list, virulently racist, they won't even let non-whites on the team and have admitted this publicly)
    *S.S Lazio (Italy--tied with Zenit, at least, supporter wise)
    *Rangers FC (Scotland)
    *Spartak Moscow (Russia)
    *Lokomotiv Moscow FC (I wish there weren't so many right-wing clubs in Russia--it's an embarassment for me)
    *Real Madrid C.F (Spain)
    *Red Star Belgrade (Serbia--Ironic, eh?)
    *A.S Roma (Italy)*LKS Lodz (Poland)
    *Helsingborgs IF (Sweden)
    *S.L Benfica (Portugal--Has notable left-wing firms though)*
    Hamburg (Germany)
    *Partizan (Serbia)
    *Chelsea (England)
    *Hellas Verona F.C. (Italy--This one is pretty fascist too)
    *Sporting Lisbon (Portugal--They have white nationalist groups attending that beat up anyone of color in attendance)
    *Millwall (England)
    Atletico Madrid (Spain)
    FC Twente (Holland)
    Shamrock Rovers (Ireland)
    Paris St Germain (France)
    Racing Club (Argentina)

    I agree with most of the list any other suggestions and we'll add to it?

    Aren't Man U quite left wing? Could be wrong, but I've known a few Man U supporters and I think the general consensus is that their values are generally socialist.
    Also aren't Russian clubs generally quite right wing/racist? I remember when Odemwingie signed for West Brom from Locamotive Moscow they had a banner with a picture of a banana and 'thanks West Brom' written on it.

    One club with a strong antifascist tradition that hasn't been mentioned is Omonia Nicosia. They were actually founded on the principle of resistance to the far right.

    Around the time of the second world war, the board of Cyprus' kingpin football club APOEL Nicosia - incredibly - sent round a circular insisting that all their players pledge allegiance to the far right. Players who refused were sacked.

    From these players the new club of Omonia FC (Omonia means Concord or Harmony) was born. Heart-warmingly, it wouldn't be too long before Omonia would proceed to put the previously mighty APOEL well & truly in their place - winning sixteen league titles in the 60s, 70s and 80s, compared to just four for their fascist rivals.

    Their fans still hold to these antifascist traditions, and have strong links with St Pauli and Livorno.

    How are Liverpool left wing? I'm not saying that they are or aren't, just eager to find out more

    On the other side of the fence I'd say Espanyol and FC Twente have a significant right-wing element among their support.

    Hansa Rostock used to be really bad, and had a rivalry with Pauli on account of it - but the club itself has more recently tried to stamp down on all the right-wing pish, and I don't think they're as bad as they used to be.

    Not exactly hardcore lefties i'd say, mainly just the fact that it's a working class Northern city and so the club and most of its fans has strong ties with trade unions etc
    As with all big clubs nowadays though, especially global teams like Liverpool and Man U, you can't really say a club is left or right wing - officially all clubs are neutral these days as no director or chairman is going to risk saying something controversial or "political" and as the fanbase is so widespread you could have everything from a tree-huggin lefty to a racist fascist in the stands.
