How many types of football matches have you seen?

To clarify.. In your lifetime, which leagues, cups, official games, friendlies, foreign leagues, internationals have you seen, giving the home team

I bet some of you have been to some weird and wonderful games??

Here's an example (my own case):

Premier League/Old First Division: Hull City, Derby County
Championship/Old Second Division: Hull City, Derby County
Pre-season friendly: Hull City
French Ligue 1: Olympique Lyon
Turkish Super League: Goztepe, Altay
UEFA Cup: Antalyaspor (vs Werder Bremen)
Intertoto Cup: Altay (vs Bastia)
International Friendly: Russia vs France
Schoolboys international: England vs West Germany
Yorkshire Cup: Hornsea Town
County League: Hornsea Town

 

All four professional divisions in England, plus numerous non-league games, the FA Cup, League Cup, Football League Trophy and two Under-21 internationals

 

Did anyone else go to the City vs Tampa Bay Rowdies game in about '84?

I'm starting to think I've imagined the whole thing up.

 

I was there!!

 

As well as seeing City home and away in all four divisions, playoffs, pre seasons and domestic cups:

Premier League: Bolton (vs Arsenal, a couple of years ago)
Championship (Div 1 at the time): Huddersfield (vs Bolton and Fulham)
Euro 2004 qualifier: England (vs Leichtenstein, at Old Trafford)
U21 internationals: England at the KC (I think I saw them all)

I'm really racking my brains but can't think of anything that exciting, even though I feel like I should have seen an obscure game somewhere. My parents saw a cup final in Rio de Janeiro and supported one side based on them being an amber team

 

You probably have, you bloody fruitcake.

 

I was robbed/mugged on bunkers by a wedge haired 'townie' during that game.

Wasn't you was it?

 

never seen a full England international, it's an ambition though.. living in Lyon a CL match isn't hard to get into but I've never bothered!

 

All 4 divisions (Hull and a fair few others - Norwich, Brentford, Leyton Orient, Crystal Palace, Charlton, Tottenham), England qualifiers and friendlies, European championships (Poland), African cup of nations (loads of games), African world cup qualifier (Gambia), Conference (Kettering, AFC Wimbledon), Conference South (AFC Wimbledon), Ryman South (Dulwich Hamlets), FA Trophy (AFC Wimbledon), Surrey Senior Cup (Dulwich Hamlets), Non-England friendly internationals (Denmark, Australia), U17 international (England), Czech league (Sparta Prague), Latvian league (Ventspils - I think), Champions league (Arsenal), FA Cup, League cup, Autowindscreens (back to Hull), or whatever it is now, league 2 play off final (Yeovil, York), FA Trophy final (York), Johnstones paint trophy final (Grimsby), Pre season friendlies (Crystal Palace, Dulwich Hamlet) and a world cup final (Spain-Holland)!

Edit: I keep adding to this as I think of more, I'm sure there's plenty I've forgotten.

 

I take it we're ignoring following City away in terms of giving home teams so:

International Qualifier - England (old Wembley)
U21 International - England (KC), Scotland (Easter Road)
Football League vs Serie A (KC)
PL - City, Man U, Sheff Wed
Championship - City, WBA, QPR, Barnsley
L1 - City, Huddersfield
D3 - City (plus Mansfield/Hudds Playoff Final at Cardiff)
FAC - City, Man U
League Cup - City
Reserves - City (Boothferry Park)
JPT - City
SPL - Dunfermline
SF1 - Dunfermline
SFAC - Dunfermline
SLC - Dunfermline
SLT (can't remember what it's called, their version of the JPT) - Dunfermline
UEFA Cup - Dunfermline
Friendly - City, Falkirk, Dunfermline

 

Up yours.

 

Is a baby porcupine, some marbles and half a tub of lurpak. What about you?

 

****ing hell mate you need help.

Why the Lurpak?

Div 1/2/3/4
Fa cup, league cup, fl trophy, Watney cup, Anglo-Italian
Scotland div 1, Highland League,
Non-league too numerous to mention, includes North Ferriby @ Wembley
European Cup (monaco v Leeds, living nearby at the time)
French League & Cup
Portuguese league
USL, MLS, US open cup
Korean League, Japanese LeAgue
Internationals in Engand, USA and Italy 1990 World Cup
Women's international in US

 

Obviously League 2, 1, Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League with City. Saw an England u21 game at KC. Went to Dortmund vs Bayern last year, unfortunately couldn't get tickets in the standing area.

Going to Bilbao to watch my current idol Bielsa's team in April. Want to get to more Dortmund and Bilbao games as long as their respective managers are there. Most likely move to Spain when i've furthered a little more on the coaching badges side of things. Pretty fluent in Spanish so that's the only place I could realistically move to right now.

 

City in all 4 divisions, League Cup, FA Cup and pre-season friendlies. Also been to Champions' League, Charity Shield and tiers 5-7 of Non-League to various teams. Only club competition I'm missing is UEFA/Europa Cup. Strangely though, I've never been to an International at any level.

 

As an old friend I will pass on my wisdom in this field.

Extricate any wild rodent/ animal, this includes a porcupine.

Also remove any unnecessary foreign matter, this includes marbles.

For the dreaded burning ring of fire use Sudocream, not any form of butter.


The burn will be harsh for around ten minutes but then the antiseptic kicks in and starts to soothe ones hoop.
In extreme cases place the cream in the fridge.
If you have a caring(gullible) bird ask her to apply but be careful not to pass wind during the application procedure.

Especially if she is wearing a black top.

Hope this helps.

 

The A league here in Oz is truly average however i'll add that to all 4 divisions with city and England in euro and world cups
