It's became the entertainment of the masses. Karl Marx would have a name for it, Bread and Circuses or something. Fucking telly constant none stop... SHOCK! HORROR! Sepp Bladder's a robber.
Now there's a surprise, eh. How about them telling us what thieves are writing the laws of this country? That'd be a shock. And I know that's a load of bollocks when just talking about going the match, but that's what they turned it into. And it's just going to keep getting worse. I mentioned me mates brother a few pages back, aul Georgie Gold, hasn't missed a home game since the 50's. In fact, he'll be down soon. I can't wait to have an argument with him. It's one of the funniest highlights of my summers. But he won't move anywhere while the season is on. Really funny old bastard he is. And I know a few other lads. But once these are gone, well, that's it.
John, you're probably the last of the line, maybe one more generation after you. But if football doesn't implode or get taken over by some RollerBallDeathRaceHungerGame thing, you'll probably never see the same face twice at the match. And that's what they want. Give it a few more years, European Super League and nobody but the knitters and booers will be there, waving their little free plassie flags, watching the cheer leaders, then going for another hotdog as the tannoy blasts out Snooker Loopy, or maybe they'll keep YNWA just to make the match going experience a bit more traditional for the knitters.
