The Fish 10972 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Went to see them play at Kingsmeadow today and had a few thoughts I figured I'd share to anyone who's interested. some similarities: Despite them being non-league, the crowd being numerically dwarfed by premierleague games and the fact I've absolutely no allegiance to them what-so-ever, the buzz walking towards the ground is identical. Stewards are jumped-up knobheads throughout the footballing league system. The expectations of fans don't seem to be in sync with the standard of football on display. The songs sung are exactly the same. I heard a version of Blaydon races, among other favourites. "Fat" players don't get a minutes peace although there's supposed to be a better reflection of football, away from the bright lights of the top flight, you still get prima-donnas diving and what not. Differences: Proper tea. Proper Terraces The fans seem to like their mascot... Sam Hatton scored a fucking peach. "our" 'keeper should have been sent off, drew 1-1 with the local rivals. decent for a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
