I am very glad that Arsenal have left Highbury. Years of having to avoid the tube station on a Saturday will do that [...] and yet more of Tuesday nights with the whole road double-parked.
On the subject of the second-order frustrations posed by football, I want to say that living in south Wales and working in central Cardiff are extremely not fun things on days, like today, when many many thousands of fully unnecessary interlopers come to town, fill the absurd Millenium Stadium for two hours, and then both make using public transport untenable and cram every pub full with their loud, honking nonsense.
Football is fine and neutral in and of itself; as Ganesh said earlier, most adults should really have got over their picked-last-for-the-team-originating antipathies by now. It's the all-pervasiveness, not merely culturally, but environmentally, that annoys. |
