I mean you'd obviously innocently hang around the teams board who you hate the most wouldnt you.

======================

Well, to each his own, but I only hang out on the boards of the sides I support.

food at old trafford tasteless ?????!!!
the steak pie is the best steak pie ive ever had on the planet.
i get your point though about watching it at home.
it's nice to watch it at the pub too with a couple of pals but being at OT gives me a special feeling

Hmmmm...I foresee a hypothetical future where people stop going to the 'stadiums', clubs lose a great proportion of their revenue, can no longer afford to bring in top players, the standard of football declines, no atmosphere because there is no one in the 'stadiums', television companies lose interest and find something else instead, we end up with very limited football on telly.

Nah, couldn't happen just because people didn't actually go to support their team could it?

======================

I'm trying to discern what that special feeling is which draws people to go to the stadium.

Liverpool fans have spoken of the noise at Anfield. Is it the same at O.T.? Which stand do you watch games from when you go?

Actually the proportion of revenue from match day ticket sales is smaller than what clubs earn from t.v. rights.

Football would not exist in the form it is without match going support.

MM. We all know this is a silly WUM but it's poor, even by your standards bud

I don't understand why so many people bother going to a stadium to watch a soccer game.

This is because you are a mindless moron.

Hope this helps.

"sitting on an uncomfortable plastic seat"


Which is why we call them plastics!!!

To be fair City fans couldn't be anymore plastic, after all they do go to the games dressed as plastic blue seats.

Aye aye captain plastic, you have no right to speak about who's the glory hunter.

Given all that, I fail to understand why so many
people bother going to watch games in the
stadium? "If it's the 3-D experience you crave, you should try a new 3-D telly with glasses!"


posted on 2/2/12

I get to about 5 or 6 games, I can't go anymore than that, don't see why that is frowned on.

Not everyone can go to every game you know !!!

It's amazing Billy got banned for debating on this
board and we still have this tool here.

Unbelievable

Weren't you one of the posters who wanted BillyBobTaunton banned? Why are complaining about it now?
