Football is a lot more posh than it used to be. A lot of people simply cant afford to go to football anymore. Just look at the prawn sandwich brigade,that didn't exist in the 1980s.
Think you're confusing league football with football here. Also, a lot of people can't afford to do a lot of things any more, it's not exclusive to football.
(also, a kid's season ticket at Celtic Park is £50, which is like under £3 a game, which wouldn't even buy you a prawn sandwich)

Sorry, LJ, I mentioned Celtic on your thread, please mock me forever in your stylish and inimitable way.
Voted football. Cricket is pretty great as well tho.

I went with cricket. I follow football more closely, but I enjoy a good Test match far, far more than any football match. Rugby union I could take or leave, but as a team sport it requires the most teamwork out of all 4 sports, so it has a certain appeal to me as well.

Lex: if you go to a cricket match and you don't get steadily pissed whilst keeping half-an-eye on the match then you are basically doing it wrong. Cricket is the best spectator sport in this regard.

darraghmac that truly seems like a brilliant sport in every single way except for the "unbelievably dangerous for your health" element, which, and I have to be candid, puts me off a bit

i have some decent scars from playing it up to u-14 level, true, but last year was a record low for fatalities i'll have you know. fastest ball sport in the world.
