Someone asked why they should keep going on BR. My reply was that, as I’ve always done, I meet up with friends, travel to home or away game, meet more friends, have a laugh and a natter, go to the football, travel back with friends.
It’s a day with friends that on many occasions is spoilt somewhat by the the football. If I no longer went then there’s a couple of dozen friends (that I’ve met in pubs across England and Europe) that I would probably never see again.
It doesn’t ruin my day/week anymore should we lose but does make my day/week should we win, I’ve learnt, with age, to find a balance in life and appreciate what’s truly important, friends, family and a good pint.
