I know Im a dinosaur. But I dont care.
Just 15 years ago most people in the UK HATED football. HATED! Its funny how everyone accepts that the game is over commercialised and gone mad with money, no soul etc. No one wants to be the person who put it there, the johnny come lately, yet everyone knows they exist. I mean, how can Cheltenham support a football league team?! Cheltenham!!! FFS.
Traditionally the reason you didnt like both sports was because football and rugby are both winter sports. So you were forced to choose, whereas cricket is a summer sport.
Its different for jocks, because they just want any excuse to have a go at the English (I might have a chip on my shoulder, but Il show you a chip a thousand times bigger!
). But the Welsh are even more divided than us, where did those 60,000 fans come from when they had a sniff at WC qualification? Then they dissapeared again, just as quickly, because they dont like football really. Just like grounds in the top flight are full today are full of people who dont like football that much. Just something for the plebs to do. Cricket is trying the same formula - how can we get people who dont like cricket to like cricket??? Hmm, I know, Twenty20!!!!
If everyone on here likes rugby, then for me thats another shovel of earth on the grave of English football culture. Im 'FUCK OFF RUGBY' and Im proud of it.
