People don't come to stadiums only to see results. They come to see a reaction, they want to see we are also human, that we can cry or laugh.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we're going to be getting treated like that, why can't we treat the clubs like that? I just want to see the game and the players looked after the way they should be because the crowds don't turn up to watch David Gallop play... they turn up to watch the players play.
Football can generate excitement and bring people together.
Why is it good for football to take the excitement away from fans by overcharging them for tickets to see their team?
Today, you're either very big or you're playing stadiums or you're not playing anymore. You're either popular where everybody will go to a 20,000 seat arena to see you or they won't go to see you at all.
It's nerve wracking being in the stadium with so many people supporting.
I like the emotion in the English league. You look at the TV, and you see the stadium and the fans.
The roar of the crowd when you come out for a final is like nothing else: when 15,000 people are cheering you, a lot of adrenaline goes right through you.
I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.
When people watch football, they're looking for fun things.
I don't think enough players channel the energy of the crowd. If it's done properly, and you don't let anger overwhelm and distract you, it's like a shot of adrenaline in the arm, and it gets the crowd pumped up.
