Why the **** would I go all down to London to watch England? Play some games at Villa Park/Old Trafford I say! Indeed. My dad and brother support WFC so I was always going to follow, had a little 'success faze' when I supported Chelsea aged 11 but that soon wore off as I attended more and more Walsall games. And yes it is beautiful when you unearth a gem of a player or win something. I was gutted when Scott Dann & Danny Fox were sold in 2008. But we made a cool 1.5+ Million out of it. Which of course went straight into our Chairman's back pocket.
I think I can call myself a part time supporter. I probably get to between 8 - 10 games a year (mostly in the south). I can't fit in travelling up to Hull every other week I'm afraid (financially or time wise). I suppose I support the club by watching the games mentioned and buying the shirt each year and subscribing to various City products. These "support" the club in some way. I think you can have a second team, for me it's usually a local team where I live at that time (at present I see a few Brighton games, although really it should be Horsham!). I'm still a fan of lots of other clubs, just like I'm a fan of various different TV shows....
Saddler, would you class Matty Fryatt as a gem your team unearthed? Been brilliant up till now for us. Remember him doing well as a young lad ages ago, for you. Plastics are those fans who you see in foreign international jerseys ie Spain, Italy or Brazil straight after they've been successful. They're also the least knowledgeable fookwits about anything to do with the game. They nick their opinions off Jamie Redknapp and the other arses on the sky commentary. It was quite irritating seeing so many Liverpool fans in the home ends yesterday and when you heard them talk they had Hull accents. They shouldn't have been allowed in or told to cover up and remain that way. The stewards really should be doing their jobs. I did laugh at the reaction of the Scouse wannabees in the home end, after they scored and it was ruled off for offside, the City fans just ripped into them. Then they buggered off. Back to the armchair for you. Ta'ra. And no not everyone has two clubs. Some people are quite content with supporting the one club win, lose or draw.
At the same time Cairney did a solid game, so it's impossible to point at the top 3 really.....(besides Brady and Chester)
Of course. We should have got a lot more money when we sold the lad though! Poor bit of business on our part. Can you believe some of our fans used to rip into him week in week out?! Clueless.
You've seen one game, McShane was good yesterday but he normally isn't, Chester is in a different class.
I had a hard time telling the difference between the "short haired" players, Fryatt, Chester, Dudgeon, Brady, so it's hard to tell really, haha. But from what I can tell Chester was the most solid player on the field!
I said he was better than Chester in that particular match, it doesn't mean I think he's more talented or consistent than Chester.
I can't remember, I've had it years, but it's Rudy the Two Tone Records logo, just search Google Images.
You might have said there is no such thing as a plastic fan. But there is. And you are a prime example.
Anybody who hasn't got the money to go, has to work, or is disabled can still be a die-hard supporter, I come into one of those categories and still class myself as a supporter.
I often used to see a geezer in No Point centre on Branny on a Saturday morning, always wearing a Liverpool top, driving a clapped out car with Liverpool stickers everywhere, a boat load of kids all wearing Liverpool kit. His wife was so fat she had her own postcode. How he got to Anfield in time for kick off I'll never know. Though I suspect he is so thick he doesn't know where Liverpool is. Thats an accurate example of a plastic scouse.
