Scarborough Athletic

Nice club, good set up, saw them play at Brackley last year.  If I lived in Scarborough I’d do the same.

I won't support any club.  Every year, watching football feels more like ingesting weak poison that nauseates but doesn't kill you.  But you just know it's doing damage to your system.

 

Even my little obsession with LCFC could turn out to have an expiration date.

If there was no phoenix club then I think I’d go and watch Northampton but it wouldn’t be the same.

[BigGibbo]

I would probably become a part owner/founder of the phoenix club.

 

Assuming we start from the bottom and don't get a by to the conference or something.

Phoenix club. I’ll be a coach and bring the orange slices 

[Ashley]

A supporter started club as some have said and do England Home and Away as i do now.

I'd love a decent Non league club based within reasonable walking distance of the city centre. 

If it already existed I recon they'd be getting a couple of thousand on City free weekends.

Im with you there.  The only full games i ever watch now are leicester games and this season , thats not all that often.  

 

Obscene money.

VAR.

Ticket prices you need a loan for.

Hardly any "blood and thunder" games anymore.

Contact/real tackles being slowly outlawed.

Obsession with possession.

A million pointless stats.

3 levels of european competition and even the top one is heavily diluted.

Stupid kick off times.  Yesterday only 3 top flight games kicked off at 3pm.

Lack of characters.

Lack of local players making it to the first team..instead unheard of players from abroad, here mainly for the payday taking their place.

Less and less traditional grounds (replaced with quiet bowls).

Offside rule that's a mathematical puzzle to solve.

Loud music killing any post match singing (rare for us these days).

Big (even not so big) clubs not caring about the cup competitions.

Clubs rinsing kids and parents for every penny (autographs/signing cards).

 

Yeah its a different game to the one i grew up with too.  Premier league especially.  Its a wonder i still bother to be honest.  Its less and less these days in truth.  So, no Leicester, i wouldn't support anyone else.  Few grassroots games or experience games abroad in countries where money isnt the be all and end all.

 

Great post - especially the comments regarding the entertainment. 

 

HOW good does it feel leaving a stadium when you’ve witness 90 minutes of enthralling entertainment.

 

I actually can’t remember the last time.

This sounds too good to be true

There are moments, but they are less and less common these days.  But its only those moments that make me keep coming back, its like you know how it can feel at times and you put up with soulless stadia and dull games and t-shirt cannons and light shows and 5 subs (it should be 3 max - im not going to argue, if anyone is inclined) breaking up every second half of every game and montages and sh*t poems, and f**king VAR,  just for those moments......well i do anyway.  Preston away, winner at Southampton this season and mavididi equaliser at Chelsea last season are the highlights for me over quite a long period now.  They are the ones ive come away thinking "that was a good experience /day".

 

Ill admit, im probably not the target customer these days, i shout, i sing, i stand, i swear and boo when i think it's justified and spend nothing in any ground.  Im probably getting old too and for the younger generation its becoming the norm.  I just dont think i would have become a lifelong fan or got excited about it, like i did at filbo, if I started going now. I certainly wouldn't support another pro club.

 

Im digressing quite a bit now from the original post so ill stop 😂

 

 

[Bilo]

I'll be honest and say I have completely lost interest in football as a sport. 

 

VAR, PSR, the corruption and double standards, pricing of tickets, dead match atmospheres, astronomical TV packages, lack of real characters in the game, social media bullshit, pointless grifters like ThE SiDeMen playing at Wembley, YouTubers and influencers performatively screeching and acting the **** at matches and so much more mean it isn't the game I grew up with and it isn't a game I can be arsed to go on watching.

Hibs - for no other reason than I love “Sunshine On Leith” and how they sing it, and quite like their home kit!

[kristianity77]

My nearest professional team would be Lincoln City so I’d pop along and support them. I’m considering it anyway as loads of people where I work go home and away and it sounds like a good crack!
