Trying to get a ticket for Liverpool or Manchester United is much harder then for us. You neend to a member first, then people who have been going longer get priority, etc, then add cost of ticket, travel cost, food and drink, etc. It's expensive trip for once game 

Given they can watch their team at home, with no hassle of travelling, parking up, ticket cost, food and drink cost, etc for less than one match ticket cost? Which one do you think some fans will choose? Watch every game of my club for £50 for the year

I have United season ticket holders that work for me, they're that fed up they miss a lot of games recently. However, you're only 'allowed' to miss a certain number of games a season or they take the ticket off you and allocate to someone on the waiting list. As a result they have people scanning their ticket and not even going in they just go round town boozing. They don't want to lose their tickets for good in case there's a turn in fortunes.

As disappointing as it can be seeing Ewood half empty we sure have it easy in terms of ticket availability.

Back to the main point of discussion.

Of course there are some people who align with a particular club for family reasons etc.

The majority of these supposed Man Utd, Liverpool ... 'fans' though, 'support' these clubs for one reason and one reason only, which is because those clubs win things.

As such, they are glory hunting dickheads. 

It depends who you know and what they reasons for supporting that team

The point many are making is that if more of these 'fans' went to watch football local and live then, using Rovers as an example the facilities might improve and perhaps ticket prices more reasonable.

It all depends who these people support and why. You can watch Rovers for much less than one ST

A load of United games go to general sale these days (wonder why?), usually League Cup and Europa games - take it yer man down the pub in Accy will be straight in to buy one?

Who needs to go pub these days to watch football when you can watch it in your armchair with a few beers

I feel sorry for them more than anything. Especially young lads who miss out on so much, I.e. memories of great seasons, wins, away days with their mates watching Rovers or whoever because they are a ‘United fan’, often because his glory hunting dad says he’s one.

I feel sorry for you cos you are so bitter and twist for people supporting who they want for whichever reasons.

Could I choose to support (say) Spain despite being English?

I support Blackburn Rovers despite being Irish. Am I allowed to keep going or do I need to turn in my badge?

As someone who is from nowhere near Blackburn I’d be a hypocrite if I made you send it back. 

I was just curious as to whether Chaddy’s opinion stretched to international football too.

Don’t feel sorry for me Chadster, nothing to be bitter and twisted about as I support the fantastic Blackburn Rovers, 6th generation. A sense of belonging with my fellow supporters.

Something those glory hunters that pat you on the head in your little chats with will never understand.

I love supporting this wonderful club Blackburn Rovers and I am so proud to be Rovers fan. I thanks my dad for making sure I was Rovers fan from a young age and taken me to my first Rovers game which was Bournemouth at home in the league cup in September 1993

I haven’t had that pleasure, but I have watched English tier seven football - maybe that’s similar 😄

[chaddyrovers]

Man utd woeful at the back. 🤣

 

[Forever Blue]

ManUre’s continued demise is a thing of real beauty. They’re complete dog shit 

[simongarnerisgod]

dear me,scooby doo is less confused than the officials at villa park,wave away one clear penalty and give one that is never one, stuart attwell,the **** on the video screen should be nowhere near a football stadium and the ref did`nt have a clue wether it was a penalty or not  but gave it  anyway

great scenes at old trafford btw🤣

[waynerovers]

Just had a quick browse on United fan forum, seems a fair few are worried about relegation. I think they're lucky the teams below them are so bad.

I support rovers and I was born in North Lincolnshire, entire family support either Liverpool or United. I picked rovers out of a sticker book when I was 3 or 4 because of the kit, love for all things just grew and grew. 

Speaking of united, they look absolutely dire so far against Newcastle.

I started supporting Rovers cos in school everyone in my class supported United so I wanted to be different, Rovers beat United when I had that in mind so I went with them. Plus liked the kit and they had Shearer.

Zirkzee look close to tears there when coming out. United fans celebrating when he was coming off.

United have had some low moments since Ferguson left, but this must be the lowest. They are utterly abysmal.

It is funny, and at this point it isn't really hyperbole to say they could end up in a relegation battle. The players look like they have completely given up, and the new manager has somehow made things even worse than they were under Ten Hag.

[Ossydave]

2 shocking finishes by Isak with his version of Hedges at PNE then Tonali not long after, should be at least 4 nil

Maybe he was afraid that he could be subbed back on?

If Utd fans think they are struggling with crosses wait till next season in the Championship!!

Hopefully they bin Amorim in May and appoint Southgate (I notice there are not a horde of teams banging down the door to appoint him) and the shitshow can continue next season.

So you only started supporting Rovers after we got promoted to the PL?😉

No, I attend my first game in September 1993. I'm still the right side of 40 years old yet thanks. 

[moerpho]

Since this thread is meant to be about PL I have a question to those watching. I see Nottingham Forest is 2nd in the league. How are they playing? Deserved or lucky?
