It was undoubtedly the best "match day experience" I have had in a very long time.
You obviously didn't go to Newport

Do you often go to Europe in search of Young Boys

Tonight I went to watch Sparta Prague against Young Boys Berne. A few things:
- My ticket cost about £11. - Beer cost £1, as did the food (tasty sausage). Both enjoyed from the comfort of my seat - match day programme cost about 70p - the prague ultras did not shut up for ninety minutes. Admittedly they did have a drum, but it wasn't beat with the same moronic rhythm to one dull song. Likewise the away fans. And they didn't sing anything to the tune of sloop john b once. - After the match (which prague won 3-1, scoring one of the best volleys I've seen in the process) the prague players remained on the pitch for a lap of honour. They would line up in front of each stand, and do some kind of synchronised waving, and the crowd would wave back. They did this in front of every stand. When they got to the ultras, the ultras started chanting - the whole ground was bouncing and the players were joining in with the song. This is after a Europa league group game. I've put this on Facebook for those unfortunate to have me on their.

I was there with some old uni friends a can agree to this, great atmosphere and bloody cheap!

It's a toss up, between the Wankdorf or Wankhede....

UK prices are ridiculously high, that's for sure. My local team in France is Angers SCO and I go to see them occasionally. They are in the second division and are comparable to Swindon - ground holds about 17000 and they average 7-8K a game. The prices range from an incredible 2€ (cheapest kids ticket, 3€ cheapest adult ticket) to 27€. http://www.angers-sco.fr/billetterie/tarifsI went to see them play at Rennes last season in the semi final of the cup and it cost me 30€ - which included coach fare from Angers, match ticket and a scarf thrown in for good measure......and the lads that organised it had enough surplus to provide a couple of glasses of punch for everyone on the coach.

At a family gathering last night, talking to a cousin of mine who's an Ipswich Town fan. He showed me this goal from their under 14's game this week.

I've always wondered what those social media share buttons on porn sites were for. Now I know.
