This resonates so much with me, I felt my time was waning a bit leading into it with the dreadful match day experience getting worse - the Liverpool 2019 home game build up was atrocious! The thing is a lot of us haven’t fallen out of love with sport - I love the events I go to, thoroughly enjoy seeing people enjoying life again Football afternoons at Brackley FC (I do 6-7 matches a year now) are enjoyable where you can socialise in the ground easier. Leicester City sadly sums up the corporate world we live in and as much as I hated the first lockdown I’m glad they did it! Instead of rage frothing about it like I would have, it actually does not matter now. I’d still have MON days back any time! Do you know what, we really don’t need shiny stadiums to enjoy football in!

It just seems like there are so many variables why the atmosphere is so poor. I was at Man City a few years ago (been once to each of their grounds) and the atmosphere was beyond terrible in the new stadium. At first I thought it was poor acoustics of the new ground but in the end realised their noisy fans that they had at Maine Road had either grown old or been replaced by cardboard cut outs. It’s the same here, people are stuck with their season tickets not daring to stop just in case they miss out witnessing an achievement that other people have made. I travel up these days for games being 50 mins away so I’m choosing Speedway on Saturday night over Leeds (not doing 3 trips to Leicester in 8 days!). It’s a sport in constant peril in this country with stadiums being rug-pulled but at least you can stand up! Sadly LCFC isn’t the community club I remember in the 90s.

That’s a really good point to make, all top players have to start out at the beginning and some are slower starters improving with the experience. Absorb and protect the academy player coming through, some may become top players and either do us proud or even command a decent transfer fee in the future! Sounds too easy to me!

First time poster, but long time supporter of the club with 25 years being a season ticket holder. I live an hour away and last season found less time to come back to our games so to keep in with football I went to a few non-league games at Brackley. The afternoons out at that club have been great fun, relaxed and how football should be. I was at the Man Utd game and apart from seeing a great friend of mine and his Dad, I really disliked the whole experience of the match now. The lack of community feel to the club is so sad. The terrible sanitisation of us as human beings with those horrible pre-match announcements that sounded like the ones on the tube was so unneeded. I’m very well behaved but do not want those patronising messages. The music being blared out was just awful and let’s say no more about the light show! It’s actually sad to see the PL circus now with players that could not care about their fellow fan. I love football but not this version sadly.
