Some people buy a house near a football ground that has been there for 137 years and then complain about the crowds and parking cars.

Because it takes a while to make tea and coffee probably.
Re the atmosphere and standing debate, no one has mentioned the club's contribution as yet as far as I can see.
Firstly, I have grandchildren that love going to games and two friends who have mobility problems.
Going back to when STs were issued for Wembley, fans who used to sit together in certain areas were split up for various reasons and this has continued in the new ground, so as far as atmosphere goes it has affected it considerably, but hopefully in time it will sort itself out. The club needs to recognise people might want to change where they sit and make it easier to do so for the new season.
Secondly, the design of the new stadium actually causes problems for concessions and those with mobility issues. It all well and good having lifts for people, but Imo they finish in the wrong place. If people still have to navigate steps towards the front of the blocks, which many can't, it leaves people who can't stand for very long having to sit at the back of blocks and seriously impedes their enjoyment. The same goes for trying to get tickets for children, there seems to be very few set places for kids who also need to be near the front of blocks. Its a nightmare trying to find the right tickets for my grandchildren each game especially on the doughnut of death so I end up trying to get through on the phone, and when I do the people on the other end are about useful as a chocolate fire guard.
The club needs to sort out the ticket issue before STs go on sale and have designated front row seats for kids and people with disabilities, and I know there are some, but they are too few.
Onions and all of that

Just got an email saying that the programs, which we got for free, will now be sent in digital format. Tough for those older 1882 ST holders who don’t use computers

Breakfast pies and pizza's tomorrow folks.
I envision a pizza with a nice runny fried egg and sliced sausages on. Nomnomnom. I had the lamb pizza on Tuesday and it was the utter bees knees.

When I was a kid I honestly did not care about getting a good view or people standing Infront of me. For me attending a game was to support my team not to watch a game. Even the whole issues around food outlets and beer to me is a pretty meaningless issue.
But football in England is changing very much towards being something that is consumed. And sitting down is part of that. I only hope that some kind of compremise can be reached.

Tastes like a pint of Ganja juice is what it tastes like. *allegedlyNeck Oil.
Tastes sour, like a gone 'bad' lager. Liquid from a boil on the devils nut sack. And the natural cloudiness doesn't exactly inspire either.

We always had a great food outlet, a bloke used to walk through the crowd selling bags of peanuts.

I love standing but when I take my 11 year old if people stand he can’t see. Wembley was ok as we could always get seats on the end of the row, with the new stadium we’ve struggled to be able to get two together, hopefully it’ll settle down once the novelty wears off.

Personally as I kid I loved playing football then enjoyed watching it wanting to see every kick. I still don't leave at half-time before the end or go home until the match is over. Can't see the point of going just to make noise but have no interest in the game itself. The food and drink during the game are irrelevant but useful before and after when you have a five hour round trip to get to the stadium. Still everyone needs to belong to something and so for you this is the gang you belong to with the game as only incidental and I sought of understand that

It's nice to see a few kicks but as a kid it's pretty easy to move your head and see through people rather than over them. It's about the principle aim of people going to the ground.
It's not a 'gang' just a belief. I'd say as I've got older and understood the game more watching it became more important than it was. I mean in eastern Europe it's quite common for a set of fans to actually face away from the pitch to drum up atmosphere.
The game matters to these fans it matters to people who support it's just the difference between seeing yourself as actively involved in the game or passively involved. England tends to have a very much be reactive and passive fan base and I'm not criticizing this it's just the way it is, and a balance needs to be struck.
But if your aim is solely to watch football TVs do do a fairly good job at it, there is clearly something else that drags people to attend games. Be it the event or even the ritualistic element of that. Football stadiums are fundamentally the temples of modern times after all.

You obviously don't have the refined palate of a craft beer drinker! Neck Oil and Gammaray are right up there as 2 of the best at that price point! (IMHO)

It's not craft bear, its fucking crafty beer, getting people to actually pay for it is a genius of a trick.
Its puss from an abscess hidden deep in the bowels of an albino yaks arsehole. Bilgewater. Vile filth. Slop
