    Who goes to the footy solo

    Interested to know if any of you guys go to the footy solo.

    I go to the footy solo also being the only Doggie in my family but have got to know a few of the people around me near my reserved seat and have a few Doggies mates in standing room who I catch up with a bit at half time at games.

    Re: Who goes to the footy solo

    I go by myself when I am in Melbourne. People are busy, married, weekends full. Like to go to a game and put on the radio.

    Yeah I go by myself - end up complaining to the poor people around me.

    When the game is played at a reasonable time I sometimes take my 6 year old son.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: Who goes to the footy solo

    Yes have been going solo for decades but being an introvert we love our own company. Used to go sometimes with my brother who died and sometimes go with a son. I like to talk with other supporters and feel a brotherhood with every Bulldogs fan.

    Me. I put my headphones on, listen to the radio broadcast. And rant and rave a little bit.

    Re: Who goes to the footy solo

    I really don't mind. People, no people. I'm pretty much in a world of my own when I'm watching footy anyway.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    This forum plays an important part in binding us. Like notes in a composition, we will reach a crescendo when the team plays as an orchestra.


    Stringer et al in the string section, Libba et al the percussion, Tom Boyd et al brass, Murph et al woodwind.
