"These days at home matches, what usually happens? You get to the ground at 2.50pm, just in time to hear a local radio DJ induce a faux-atmosphere by shouting: "Are you ready? I said: Are you ready? Let's make some noise!" Like sheep, the crowd responds, sings one song, and then settles back into silence."

How true, nearly 100% accurate I'd say, other than it's usually 1458 by the time I get to the ground.

Very good article though.  Worth the read if you just clicked on the link, read the first couple of paragraphs and thought "I can't be bothered reading all that!"

Theres a lot of crap in that article but I tend to ignore sports journalists anyway.

I'm guessing that was meant to be ironic!?

If you're sick of the Premiership, try watching your local club again. If you believe fans should be allowed to stand again, join http://www.safestanding.com/safe/index.php or organise a national standing day - let's see the stewards try to stop thousands of you.


Totally agree with the above. As for the rest, applies more to the Prem than us I think. Good quality, thought provoking football journalism though
