#Fanatical football round tv
Swansea fan Lloyd, cycled from his home in east London to The Den, home of Millwall, hoping to glimpse his team through a gap in the stands before being escorted away by security.Īs pubs reopened on Super Saturday, a flavour of the terraces returned, 24 year old Chelse fan, Nicholas, watched the match on TV with friends in a private function room at The Chelsea Pensioner pub a few hundred metres from Stamford Bridge stadium. Siobahn walked her dog Cleo around the ground as she does every match day, waving a hurling stick in tribute to Villa midfielder, Jack Grealish, who played the game as a kid. Unable to access BT Sport to watch the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa fans Jordan and Jess drove six miles to Villa Park to listen to commentary on their phone within ear shot of their team. 83 year old Joyce, broke her 93 day confinement and got on a bus from her home in east London for a trip around the ground with her son, John. When Tottenham Hotspur played Manchester United on a gloomy Friday night in north London, united fans Michael, Michael and Gaz drove 200 miles to watch the game on an iPad opposite the stadium. Pubs and bars remained closed, strict social distancing was in place. What would the new match day look like and how far fanatical fans would go to create a match day experience?Īs project restart kicked off, lockdown restrictions were stringent. Not every fan complied, the temptation to be close to their idols, too much. Signs advised supporters to leave the area and watch from home. Police were on patrol to disperse potential groups. The advice was to stay away from football stadiums. Regular outlets for emotional release were denied. Lifetime traditions and habits suspended, maybe gone forever. When lockdown was initiated, fans were abruptly severed from their team. When fixtures are released, fans plot their route through the season with Field Marshall Montgomery precision: how will they get there, what will they wear, what will they eat and drink and with whom? Dates of matches are rapidly cross checked with work and family commitments, the relief palpable when a meeting or christening doesn't clash with a must watch derby. Fortunes have been spent following a team, lifetime grudges have developed, relationships have failed.Ī match day starts months before the alarm goes off the morning of the game. Terrfified parents pull a team shirt over their newborn in the hope they won't choose blue over red. Scribe- Wow, that’s some serious Spurs hate! To be fair, they’ve had a brilliant couple of years, and reaching the Quarter Finals in their first attempt at the Champions League was pretty impressive.Football undoubtedly brings out the fanatic in the fan.
I’d be amazed if a move to Liverpool is enough to sort his head out) And, of course, he ‘did a Sutil’ on someone in a nightclub once. A girl who works where I get my haircut was friends with him at school, and apparently he was always a right little hoodlum there too. He used to go out with a girl in my year at school, and apparently he always used to cheat on her. (Incidentally, with him being from my town and only one year older than me, I hear lots of weird stories about him. I support Arsenal coz I’ve never lived further than 1 mile away from Highbury my whole life, and I wuvs em’.ĭaykind- Carroll is good, but he was never worth £35 million! The fact he’s something like the 7th most expensive player in football history is quite absurd. Oh and my cousins are scousers so if not Arsenal, I’m happy to see Liverpool do well. Alan “prog rock” #foreverinourshadow so, your not going to win the league, probably ever again (last time before colour TV), your probably not going to get into Europe, even if we have the mare everyone’s predicting it’ll be ‘pool and not you, your stadiums a tip and too small, the big sign up hasn’t worked and the debts are piling up, the first serious opposition you faced in Europe crushed you in obcene fashion, your bid for a new stadium has failed, ‘appy ‘arry will take the England job sooner or later and you’ve got no worthwhile strikers and no quality strikers want to sign up. Still Jongleurs FC sure adds colour to the leage. I reckon Sp*rs coz ‘appy ‘arry finks his triffic or West Ham. The fans of the entire league, my lot included are literally praying we don’t “snap him up” on a free. Ack Ned, I don’t envy you the choice of keeping your best remaining player, and getting rid of Joey Barton.
