    Few and far between granted
    Found the post, I assumed people would take it as him being on benefits as he's not working, given the high intelligence levels on here.

    You have a friend who doesn't work yet goes to watch man United and has done for years

    You are putting him in the he's poor group which is the title of this thread

    Now if he's not working he MUST have some sort of income to enable him to watch top flight football

    If he isn't on benefits and he's not working then he's either selling drugs , knock off gear or he's being given money by his parents or he inherited it

    If he's been given money by mum and dad or his grannies died he's clearly not poor is he ?

    So using him as an example is nonsense

    So this mate of yours ? If he's not working how does he pay for the tickets and travel ?

    It's very easy to answer

    So , he's not poor then

    Which is why he's not working yet able to afford to watch premiership football

    If you have said that in the first place etc etc 🙄

    There's something strangely comforting about waking up to another round of postal fisticuffs between Sludge & Demb. Everything feels as it should be.

    People on benefits aren't poor? I thought I'd seen a million posts off you saying the opposite.

    I am saying you are bullshitting

    You said he's not working

    Therefore he's on benefits or he's got another source of income . If he doesn't have to work then he's even more well off , should he exist

    If he's on benefits it's very unlikely he's going to be able to afford a premiership season ticket unless he's not paying his bills

    If he's not on benefits he's got money coming in to pay for this season ticket and he's also going to have to have money to pay to exist , from day to day

    Either you are bullshitting or this mate of yours has plenty of cash to pay for a premiership season ticket and it's come from mum and dad , grannie or selling coke

    You have tried to say that you know someone who isn't working yet can afford to watch man United every other week . If he's not working and on benefits then he must be on the best benefit the country has ever given If he can fund premiership football

    If you had said you knew someone who wasn't working yet had plenty of money from his parents or an inheritance or had 300 grand compensation from an accident at work .....then that would have been appropriate to this debate about people who were .....poor.....watching football .......in so much as a person with a decent income , whether they are working or not , is not poor .



    A person struggling to put food on the table or find the money for the gas is poor ......you mate , if he isn't working yet can afford to watch premiership football, clearly isn't


    So I would suggest you are telling fibs or your mate has a lot more money than your average fella out of work 💪

    Pubs and football, the benchmark for the working class 30 years ago…no chance these days

    I think such is the magnetic pull of supporting your team that people on low incomes will do their best to follow their club

    But the increase in prices for watching football means that many have fallen by the wayside . Certainly in clubs where there is a huge demand from the plastics , Liverpool, United etc there has been a demographic change as the prices have gone up

    That's a lot of typing to get the same answer.

    The answer is in an already posted reply.

    You do try too hard.

    F*ck The Spectator and the c*nts that write for it.

    Once printed an opinion piece with the headline "In praise of Wehrmacht: The real story of D-Day is the heroism of the German soldiers who were vastly outnumbered but fought nobly and to the death."

    Re: Poor people don't go to football matches

    I've not read the article, and don't think i need to read an article to understand that low income families/individuals in the main do not go to football and budget their income to suit more pressing needs, I'm sure there will be some who prioritise football over other things but they will be in the minority, Shirly ?.

    Maybe should have added, paid entry football!!
