There seem to be a lot of people out there, Wednesday fans and other, who absolutely must be at a football match regardless of cost, responsibilities or impact upon anyone else in their lives. I find that weird. They might find it weird that you find it weird. Each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own I don't disagree with the each to their own, I guess I am thinking of people I know whose kids can't play little league because it interferes with away games or those who won't pay for school skiing trip but wouldn't think twice about a couple of hundred quid on an away games.

Chucks the car keys in and all the women go for the Lexus keys don't they. My 2006 VW Polo keys always get left until last, I always finish up with Fat Debbie from Sholing. I didn't think the Lottery had been going for 30 years like @OWLSTALK states, at a rough guess I'd have put it around 1994, maybe 19th November, might be wrong though. Nowt wrong with big Deb She does a great cooked breakfast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you have children and they are not your priority, I think that makes you many things. An UberFan is not one of them. I'm not having a dig here, there are many many people who have the time, money and desire to follow football teams to the ends of the earth. I just can't work out how that is even possible for those that do have jobs and families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, Tango takes his daughter to most games he can, including England games, and more importantly Wednesday games. So it's a bit of a mute point you are making about him.

The kids are the priority but if the parents feel that a kid has a better life experience by following Wednesday to away games with his family than taking a Ski trip with the school who is to say they are wrong?

You commented on a thread about Tango, so it obviously initiated your thoughts. Not having a dig btw, just telling you what Tango does. I would love to afford to do what he does, and good on him.

I wasn't talking about people who take their kids with them was I. I get that you don't agree with me but I stand by my own opinion that many of these "UberFans" of all clubs follow the football to the detriment of others around them.

Maybe so...but my post actually started with "this is probably the wrong thread but" My thinking actually came from UberFan discussion that was going on, genuinely nothing at all to with Tango.
