FabSwingers.com forum: Been to a Premier League footie match?

FA Cup final got me thinking how much I enjoyed the matches I've been to see. I have friends that have never been, but even if you aren't a massive fan, it's still a great day out. Plus it's the only big venue where there's actually no queue for the ladies toilet. Have you been? Go regularly or just not your thing?

Been to the Emirates quite a bit usually on a Corporate jolly. The foods good and no Queue but the perpetual disappointment of being an Arsenal fan makes up for that.

Been going since my father took ne at 8 years of age to Villa Park for the first time.

Things are grim at the moment but over the years I have had some fabulous times and great memories.

Home and away and also go to odd games in Europe if my teams not playing.

Much prefer away games for the atmosphere and we could learn a lot from the way German clubs treat there fans

I took Mrs ddc to a Chelsea match back when we were both working in London. (Though it might have still been called 'Division 1' back then, can't remember when it changed.

)

It was one of those classic matches where half the crowd leave early, muttering, as we were 1-nil down, then they scored twice in the last 5 mins.

I doubt it's quite so easy to buy tickets nowadays.

Love going to the games, usually Anfield, and although this is going to sound biased, one experience you must have is to hear You'll Never Walk Alone sung by the crowd there, it will make the hair on anyone's neck stand up! Awesome!

I was a season ticket holder at the Villa for years. I can't really afford it now though.

I do like going to away games occasionally.

Last time Derby were in the Premiership we thought we might be able to sneak in on a Chelsea away game (just so long as we remembered not to cheer when Chelsea scored) but I think you had to have gone to the last three Derby home games or something stupid

P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

I used to work at the Baseball Ground and followed The Rams up & down the country. When we were in the old 3rd div (84-86), we would often take more fans to away matches than there were home fans

In 1988-9 we finished 5th in the old Div 1 and would have qualified for Europe had all English teams not been banned following the Heysel Stadium disaster

The less said about our last venture into the top flight in 2007-8 the better

I was at that game right down the front and my mate shouted to Ashley Cole as he was about to take a throw in "You've got something my mate wants", meaning Cheryl. He just smiled and gave us the finger

I'm a Citizen (Man City fan)

I go as often as I can, which isn't that often, about four times a year, and mainly to mid week cup games as I can take the sprogs and their tickets are usually just £1 each

It's a great family day out and a lot of fun. City make it as fun as they possibly can, pre match events, special things for the young'uns.

I used to be a season ticket holder at Chelsea. Went to all home games. All home cup games, champions league games, some away European games too. Then I had my son and couldn't afford to do both!! Lol. I'm lucky though. My mum and dad took over our season tickets so if they can't make it the boy and I can go. Went to the last game of the season v Leicester. Oh how I miss the bridge!!

Been to Stamford Bridge many times over the years. I'm lucky enough to have a few mates who are season ticket holders. If they can't make it, I go. Last match was watching Chelsea get thumped by Man City last month

I love going. Haven't been this season as I couldn't afford it but I've been to the grounds of Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Reading, Norwich and Fulham so far.

Fantastic days out, better than going shopping

Season ticket holder, have been for 14 years. Only get to go to home games, priced out of away games. Go to all home matches n cup final games. Semis at Wembley included too.

Would like to go to at least one European away game. Hopefully one outside of the UK

I have a season ticket at Everton. We were at Wembley for the semi-final.

Wembley always feels like a big day out. Always special.
