Re: Liverpool FC at Langtree Park : Fri Mar 16, 2012 11:27 pm
Yes I went to LP for a look simply because the game had been well promoted in both the press and on Talk Sport radio (Hawksbee and Jacobs). I was expecting to be entertained and impressed with fancy footwork/skill and the rest, but as I joined the massive que to get in I met up with a chap who I used to work with who is an LFC SEASON TICKET HOLDER who said don't expect to much as the u19's had lost 4 matches along the way and were lucky to still be in the competition.
I must admit I spent most of the match talking with a chap sat behind me who had been going to watch the Saints for more than 50 years,,,,,,Van Vollenhoven et al
I stayed to the end unlike most of the 'faithful' who legged it with 20 minutes to go just as the 4th Ajax goal went in,,,,,
I learned a valuable lesson that night that modern day Super League rugby even when you are on a losing streak is still a roller coaster of emotions and has been for me ever since I got to watch my first live game 28 years ago .
As for football I can take it or leave it.
