Superb programme on last night in fact so good I'd rate it best this year, all about fans following their football teams away. They followed a woman and her kid who support Leeds Utd when they played away against Millwall, that game was intense. Another was a guy who lives in Luton and goes and watches East Fife which means him clocking up 12,000+ a season, one of the best was a 60+ year old guy who's a Burnley fan who they followed when he went watching them against Preston, he's an ex bodybuilder who threw abuse at the ref for 90 mins. And the last one was a guy who weighed in the region of 20 st following Leicester City who took a page out of the Newcastle handbook by going topless at every game, these are hardcore fans.
There is nothing like following your team away, when footballers say that scoring a goal and playing football is better than sex, an away game on a midweek day specially when your team wins is the same for a fan. Hard to explain to Americans as you don't have an away game culture but the buzz you get from it is unreal, far far better than watching your team at home.
