And I confess I was at such a rugby playing school where to play soccer with any kind of ball, including the oval one, was automatic 1 hour detention. It didn't stop a lifetime of interest in both sports.

True Jamie - but I still have two lots of quality International matches to watch each year and I think that's the reason why I don't get jaded.
Actually, I'd love to have a Premiership team to watch - the possibilities are Leicester, Worcester and Northants - however they are all about 75 minutes away not counting from parking to game etc., which is just that bit too long. I'd certainly be prepared to pay the price of a season ticket as the games are still predominently Saturday fixtures.
I don't have the background or affiliations to enjoy lower league games.
