I had two extra paragraphs to my last post, and they went something along the lines of folk who are not as affluent tend to be the most vocal and passionate supporters of football clubs for reasons I won't rehash here. Those with big bucks (prawn sarnie brigade) tended to go there with the same mentality of watching a good movie. I don't believe all affluent folk are like that, but still, I didn't add it because I thought it might offend some people. Hey, perhaps I'm some sort of wage racist.
I'm a wageist
I don't think it's even that mate, a lot of them are just ordinary people who save up their hard earned cash for a once in a lifetime day out. A bit like their first time watching their favourite band, or ideal holiday destination or even going to Glastonbury.
I certainly don't have wads of spare cash but I've considered using the hospitality tickets for the big games I've got no chance of getting tickets for any other way. Difference is I am a fan who would be up singing and shouting helping to create the atmosphere, not spend the whole game seeing how many pics of "famous people" I can get.
