Watching Football

Well, for a start I put off the writing of this post! I had a good reason though. Janet and I went to the Copperjax Stadium to watch the London City Lionesses vs West Ham United in the WSL. It’s only been the past few years that I have started to go to Women’s Football and I have enjoyed it far more than I ever could watching Men’s Football. It’s a game that is played in great spirits and at an increasingly high level of skill. The atmosphere in the crowd is brilliant and totally positive throughout. There is passion for the team you are supporting but none of the aggressive and unpleasant tribalism that makes the men’s game a no go area for me. I am now disinterested in the men’s game at all levels and far more engaged with the women’s game at all levels of the pyramid. Women’s football is the game as it should be on and off the pitch. Give it a go if you haven’t already. Who knows, you might like it.
