said it lots on here before but i really enjoy watching Alex Craig videos.
the bitter sweet thing about this video is when Alex talks about being able to go up the city with his mates as a young teenager. i was even luckier managing to go up with mates in a different generation but at the same age we stood on the east terrace then moved to the west terrace. i saw the premier league era as a teenager!
similar to alex, those of us who remember that time can confirm that even then being a cov fan at school in the prem meant you were in a minority compared to the man u, arsenal, liverpool lot.
but the thing is us cov fans could actually get to matches quite easily. you could all decide to go at school and then pile down on saturday. and as we got a bit older those man u and arsenal fans would see the light and join us at HR as cov fans.
looking at the superb ticket sales now, and no doubt next season too is fantastic- but if you are a teenager now it would be difficult to get into the ground if you don't already go . with costs and avaliability it's hard to be spontaneous as a group of kids and go. not just our problem but top level football the last 20 years.
my folks didn't like football so, except for maybe the odd game at christmas, i only got to go regularly when i was old enough to take myself. i feel a bit sorry for those like teenage me who will struggle to get in now. ofc it's the inevitable price of progress and football as a global commodity and it is still a really exciting time but reminded me that there is always pro's and cons.
take my teenage lad, he wants to go to away matches now. he's been to about 5 this season but with his points he won't go to any next season unless we are away in the cup. i feel lucky we have ST's so at least he gets the home matches, but he will miss out on the away's and going with a group of mates.
