....my Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham supporting colleagues (I work in London) are all suddenly desperate for an away day at the Amex next season. However it is with a heavy heart that I have had to tell them that I cannot help

You could always take them on an Amex stadium tour, to show them what a club actually looks like, when it is owned by a fan

They're actually a nice bunch of guys, but the Albion are so far under their radar, that they were astonished to find that we'd been promoted.

I worked in Croydon for 15 months and didn't meet a single Palace fan in the office

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Friend: Brighton are getting promoted then?
Me: No shit.
Friend: Getting relegated next season though!!!
Me: No reaponse
...4 hours pass
Friend: Any spare tickets next year?

Still haven't reponded CBA he is an Arsenal fan for no reason in particular.

I was working in Croydon last week, they are mostly quite happy we are going up, conversations along the lines of 'no point having a rival if you never get to play them'

Does he satisfy either or both of the below criteria? -

a) he was born in Manchester

b) one of his parents is from Manchester and therefore the team is in his blood.

If yes, then fair play try and get him a ticket in the away end. Which you can't do anyway.

If neither of these apply, then he has clearly chosen a team through a square chunk of plastic filled of copper wires. No heart, soul or personal representation in this choice and therefore the individual must be declared a Glory hunting wa*nker and told to do one!

You're 3rd choice is the one I opted for.

So tell them to get an away ticket

Oh, when you say 'supporting', do you mean from the comfort of their sofa?

Never knew you were a fireman. At least you'll be busy.

 

[portslade seagull]

Most of these supposed fans have never seen the team they support live, jokers

Some worried that they haven't accumulated enough points to get a ticket, and the rest armchair supporters.

I know, plastic fans, they get their kids the latest ManUre replica shirt with 'Mooney' on the back and that makes them a 'real' fan because they have the T shirt. Tw@ts.

Saying that, been seeing a lot more kids around wearing BHA shirts over the past couple of years. Thats great to see.

Fair enough on those - but still no.

and the rest armchair supporters.

They need to be ridiculed.

"How was your weekend" they ask
"Amazing" I say, " I started the weekend supporting a championship team and ended it supporting a premier league one"
"Oh yeah" they say, "I was thinking about getting a season ticket for the next season"
