No rushing from work, no car park gridlock. No risking parking tickets. No being wet, cold or dealing with arsehole fans.
I can see why the top 4 supporters get used to it

But replaced with "do you have to be so loud?", "they cant hear you" and "mind the furniture" from Mrs D.😂Quote:

It has its upsides.
One of them not being the commentary though.
A few gems from the first half being "It's going to be one of them nights" after Derby's equaliser, followed by a quick backtrack about the game being nervy.
The other was "Bennett had a brief chance to put his laces through the boot".
The commentary is utter gash. I'd rather Dai Hunt have the mic.Quote:

No. F*cking hate it. So do the neighbours ... Bamba the dog also not a fan.
So do I, it’s terrible watching on TV, I’m far more nervous! Crazy!Quote:

Agree about the nerves. Far worse when you're stuck in front of the TV. Wonder why that is?
We've got a WhatsApp group which is slightly better than watching it alone. I guess you could set up a Zoom meeting which would be better again. But that's all trying to emulate being there so the answer is obviously its nowhere near as good watching at home.
Rather be there , cant beat a boozed up 3 pm Saturday game which are rare in these modern times .
A lot of the "being in the ground" is the social side of things as well, the beer before with your friends, "ooh the team's out" then a big discussion, then the post match analysis. For that reason I'll always prefer going to the ground
It's a thwow in to city.....
🙄
It's amazing how little you actually see in a TV game, I dislike it as much as sitting in the front row.Quote:

And getting a score update just before a goal goes in on my laptop is a bloody nightmare. I am getting better at knocking the sound off at the start of the match.
Watching it on City TV it's always a bit behind live. My phone gets alerts from BBC sports so I hate it when it pings during a match, I know there is a goal coming.
Although last night that happened for our first goal and the equaliser but for Tomlin's winner it came moment after it went in, so I enjoyed that one.
Watching from home is better than not watching at all, but I'd rather be in the stadium.
Yep, agree with all of that.Quote:

Yeah well I said my piece as someone who can see the ground from his bedroom skylight so your point is very fair :hehe:Quote:

I’ve got a picture in my head now of Delmi stood on a chair, head out of the skylight wistfully staring at the ground with a tear in his eye.
Steady on now! ;-)Quote:
