St.Ricky Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Has Football on TV and on Live Streaming created a generation of Armchair Fans who rarely go to games but retain an active interest in their club if choice? Can anything be done to entice these missing fans to attend games? If you are an armchair fan.. What would entice you to come back to the game. It's true that distance can be a genuine issue as does competing choices when budgets are tight and time and family commitments are high. These must be true, surely, for supporters of other clubs too. So what would work for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't turn up He told me that en route to the date a better offer turned up. He spotted a freshly painted wall he could spend 12 hours watching dry. I was meant to pass the message on.

I suppose I deserved that after deliberately ignoring the fake shite that is Valentine's Day. Today is the day that ALL of us should spare a moment for the true victims of Valentine's Day.... ... the hotel housemaids who have had to clean all those bedsheets this morning.
