Working Class

yeah they're really clueless, it's cringe-worthy

I recommend watching All Whites matches when we're at home, it's comedy gold

Seeing people trying to support a football team who have no idea on how to makes me laugh.

TBH I look forward to the day

In the premier league I guess, germany has great prices, when I went to seville last year tickets were affordable, and at MLS level, well, I've bought sneakers that cost more than my season tickets.

Go to Germany for a prime example of a working system. Sky did screw lots of things up though admittedly.

Well yeah you just said it, Germany has a controlled commercial system.. they do everything right

Foreigners can only own 49% of the club too or something like that.

No.

Once the Sky contract is over, the FA launch it's own independent broadcast where 95%(or something) of the profits are spread along the premier league clubs, or so the basic idea is.

Probably something obvious I haven't though about that would keep this from ever becoming reality though. Dunno, i'm tired and hungry.

don't get your hopes up

No I realize it'll never happen as long as the FA are greedy (corrupt?)cunts.

Yes, like the fact that the FA has nothing to do with the television rights of the Premier League?

Wonder if all the ex-pats living in Canada or the US would agree with your sentiment. Maybe the Mexicans as well? Or the French, Germans, Italians, Portuguese, Dutch, Brazilians, or Argentineans? Hell, what about the 16 million Americans who tuned in to watch USA/Ghana?

No, but you are probably right, considering how well the Venezuelans and Polish were represented at the World Cup.

Diva.

Like El said in New Zealand if it wasn't for games being broadcast on TV I wouldn't have followed football at all......

I played it since I was 5 but well every kid in NZ plays Football or Rugby when they are young.

I support Liverpool because my family is from Liverpool, I started to get all interested in Football a few years ago, but I supported Liverpool before then because my dad is from Liverpool and yeah

to many plastics in modern football that support team using internet and streams in another country when they should support their local team like its suppose to be

call me plastic I don't care.....

you should try supporting my local teams

I don't even think they are professional (Waitakere United and Auckland City)

Agreed.

They're still your team, I mean I support two teams, which one of them is local

I support Liverpool

I like shit loads of teams

I always watch Auckland City vs Waitakere United in the final on TV (Every year it is those 2 teams in the final basically)

i get\ buzz from going to real live match especially when i enter the stadium and sit with other people to watch the team. i dont care about standard of league im support the team that represent where im from

supporting team in another country that is not relative to you, there is no fulfillment in this. its just fake. if that is your way of enjoying yourself you must be very simple minded and not know the values of supporting local team

to me watching forieign league i do all the time i like the entertainment, but those who need to "support" a random team to feel an attachment to that league are straight up biblical nerds

the beast has spoken

I agree with this but seriously you try watching a whole season of A-league on TV when the Premier League is also on...I couldn't...your just lucky you have a decent league in your country.

Actually just realized when Chip said it - we don't have a professional team in Auckland.

No professional team in Blacksburg, Virginia either.

I go to Brisbane games get home and watch Spurs

I love both teams, and support both of them as much as I can, shame I can't go to the stadium for Spurs like I can with Brisbane though.

This has been considered before, but it was believed that Sky, already having a consumer base, channels with other content and already owning several broadcasting frequencies, are a better option.

It doesn't matter. Look at it this way, me, Forest, that Hereford fan, the Leeds fans, that Colchester fan, Lux.. We are all a class above 95% of the people that call themselves supporters. We can actually be arsed to get ourselves out of the bedroom on a weekend, we can be arsed to waste our money on the thing I assume we all love the most. That is the difference between us and you glory hunters... We are committed. Say what you want, you know i'm right.

We should be praised for sticking with our clubs through this shit part of footballing history when so many have given up and decided to watch football on tvs and computers.

We are lucky to have the best league in the world in our small country, but fucking hell do you twats abuse it.

What? I go to 70% off all Liverpool home games, and about 10% of Away games. Am a gloryhunter?

I listed the people I could think of at the time.

Getting a season ticket next season (hopefully)

It'll be about £300, and I'll be 16

Nice to see a good old plastic debate starting.



Nothing to do with the topic at hand though.

Of course it does.

Hull City 10 years ago = working class people only
We get to the PL where prices are up some working class replaced by posh plastic prawn sandwich eaters.
= less atmosphere
= death of football

There's always been 'bandwagon' fans when a team is successful. It's not a new thing.

But bandwagon fans nowadays are almost certainly posh people who are there to say "i watched ronaldo omg!!!!!!!!! and like yeah im the most knowledge able fan ever!"

Sure about that? There's a load of fans that jumped on our bandwagon after we won the Champions League. The majority I wouldn't describe as 'posh'.
