It's probably easier for us as every game is shown live on TV, hell even some high school games are on TV here. That and with the size of the country away games really aren't feasible it's a 7 hour one way drive just to get to the next MLS stadium from me (LA). When I lived in DC it would have been easier but Philly is still a 4 hour drive one way I think.
Their away travel sounds like hell on earth, makes our trips look like a nice little run-out. I reckon Ellewoods would go to every match over here, shame he can't come and take the spot of a Premier League plastic now theres going to be a few thousand up for grabs
It's the same. It's all on TV and the distances are the same in general, same basic number of teams same basic cities with a few differences.
No. That was a farce. Because of the poor design of the KC and the police's ludicrous segregation requirements for a handful of Swansea fans there were a couple of thousand fans locked out of a 25,400 stadium with 23,000 people in it. BTW, do you know who has the record crowd for that level, division 4 in old money?
Don't be silly. When we played Swansea it was the equivalent of Division 4. When we were in Division 4 at Boothferry Park the capacity was less than the 23,000 we had against Swansea.
To make it simple, when we played Swansea it was the fourth tier. Who do you think has the highest ever crowd at that level?
Crystal Palace, 36,000 in Division 4 . There are surprisingly few teams that have ever averaged 40,000. You can probably guess most of them. Except one.
Yea and its not just the distances either its the complete lack of public transportation. You all can just jump on a train and go to the next city. We cant do that in general we have to drive. Sure you can go from DC to Philly or NY to philly but thats hundreds of dollars, flying is far cheaper in general, and if you live anywhere else other than a city on the coast good luck doing anything other than driving. To use even a metro system you have to basically drive into the city to jump on it and really only a few cities in the entire country even have a decent metro system (NY, DC, SF, Chicago). Yea I dont like it. Your Brady avatar though. Its funny no one I know cares at all that they cheated. Who gives a **** about 4 games and a mill fine. You would take that every single season if you got the championship out of it.
