Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

I see the farce with West Ham and the Olympic Stadium continues, West Ham apparently have no involvement with match day security and thus the fighting in the ground on Saturday should have been contained by the third party contractor employed by the stadium operator, I assume therefore the cost of stewarding is covered by the pitiful rent they pay?

Big fan of La Liga, and the support thing or sometimes lack of it, adds to the appeal. There are several obvious notable things.....away fan travel hardly happens, I guess a trip from say Vigo to Valencia for a 9:30 KO on a Sunday night is daunting. Then also there's usually an island club....Majorca, Tenerife or Las Palmas knocking around. That's understandable....but I've never understood why a Getafe v Rayo is relatively empty. Another is there seems to be a lot more women at La Liga games....or maybe the directors just pick out some sultry senoritas in the crowd, whereas here Sky have to be more PC, post Gray and Keys. Further, for some games fans just don't seem to bother turning up, maybe some other distraction a fiesta or something. Then you get a Betis, who are generally a bit average or worse, who get great support, whereas the 3 norvern outpost teams fluctuate....Sporting despite often being shit get great support, whereas Celta who in recent years have been doing well, often the Balaidos looks half empty. Depor fluctuate, but on a good night the Riazor is a fine sight.

Looking at their main forum, seems that all is not going well with the Olympic Stadium experience. No dedicated family or "singing" areas allowed for in the move look to be the root cause of the current conflicts in the stands there, plus poor stewarding. Proud club in the process of selling it's soul at the expense of it's core support.

Caught some of the Valencia v Betis game yesterday. Fair play to the 100-150 or so Betis fans who made the trip. Real Madrid sold 11 tickets for the away game at Granada last season. 8.30pm kick off on Sunday so no getting back by train without an overnight stay and time off work or a 4 hour drive etc. Still surprising for one of the biggest clubs on the world. Wonder how many make the trip from Coruna to Malaga or vice versa.

Probably about 20. Away travel just isn't in the Spanish football culture. You get some odd games like the main Basque derby, where you'll see Athletic and Sociedad fans sitting together quite happily...but when they visit Eibar, not bothering.
