What pisses me off, and scares me at the same time, is that my two most beloved hobbies, playing PES and playing Yu-gi-oh both the physical card game and the video games, are two IPs both being hold by KONAMI, which tries to kill them both franchises with various ways, and different way each IP.
Been there so many times. It's why I left my last job, actually. The last straw:
I kind of see it this way....If your local picture house was showing distasteful/rubbish movies. Would you keep going each week, knowing it will never change?
made my day, he was really nice.
That might have been based on Mike Calvin's "Whose Game Is It Anyway" - good book, and he shot a documentary for BT based on it too.
That's sad ,really sad tbh.
I live on a peninsula (Wirral), where Tranmere are the only professional team. There's a gulf of water between us and Liverpool. Yet everyone's a "scouser", wears a red shirt (barely any blue ones) and has a Liverpool flag flying from their house.
I get it. But it saddens me, purely because the club needs money to survive in the current climate. We have a genuinely brilliant chairman (and ex-FA chief) who knows how to run a club responsibly, but he can only keep us alive for so long.
You can't - Liverpool will only sell you a ticket if you can prove that you live in Liverpool itself, i.e. you have an "L postcode". Nobody here can, so they will probably never, ever see a Liverpool game live. Except for the usual Tranmere v Liverpool friendly, at Prenton Park, where loads of kids from the area go to SUPPORT THE AWAY TEAM...
I get that ,I was influenced as a 6-7 year old kid watching 1st Division football on the telly over here ,seeing exactly those guys ,back when Liverpool was a like a machine.
Our stability in the last 10 years or so, and the roaring success of the community trust, has really put Aberdeen back on the map with kids in the city. And at a crucial time too, as it's a period where kids have been seduced by football porn. I could find a less creepy metaphor, but there you go.
Completely agree.
That's insane man.
I heard that too, I wish I could qualify for such a thing! I love them for that. Seeing them thrive in recent seasons has been a pleasure.
Yeah it's tough to compete with that (Salah etc)
Yep the last time i went to Anfield was 2009 (Sami Hypia's last game V Tottenham) and yes you had to be a member and meet certain match criteria. The tickets do/did eventually go on open sale, but by then you would be lucky if any were left. You need a truckload of cash to follow them nowadays.
Probably easier for me as a Swedish tourist to get tickets since companies buy up loads for each game and package them with flights etc.Yep the last time i went to Anfield was 2009 (Sami Hypia's last game V Tottenham) and yes you had to be a member and meet certain match criteria.

I remember one game V Sunderland and i was in the old main stand with a girder right in my line of view. It didn't really matter though because i must have gone to the toilet 20 times throughout that match. The Carlsberg went right through me that day. Most importantly though i didn't miss a goal and we won 3-0

because I remember nearing the junction to turn off it was a traffic jam for a few miles and suddenly ours and about another 20 cars all shot into the hard shoulder stopped and everyone ran out for a pee
