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