@Andy135 you being a middle class lad from leafy Berkshire it’s not surprising you don’t get it 😇.
Football is more than football. It’s not just about the replica shirts or the over priced season tickets or even the extra dosh to travel to away games. It’s about camaraderie, tribalism and representing where your from. There are moments in football that unless your there and are into the scene, people just will not understand. Feelings or overwhelming elation or like last night depression and sorrow. But it’s an experience you share with your mates. All 32’000 of them when at a home game.
fishing is great. It’s a love and a passion. But there is more to be experienced in life, more powerful emotions. The only trouble with football is the fucking idiots that think they are some kind of mafia. Those who represent in the totally wrong way. But they are in general a minority.
You will probably read this and say, what a soft head... and that’s ok. It’s ok, because you don’t get it!
