Working Class Football Identity

[Chris Jameson]

Is this the dark web that I've heard so much about?

Only if you turn the brightness down.

Jeeeeesus! Politics, class, race, sexual orientation and religion...just a few things that shouldn't even be issues that cause problems on or around a football pitch.

No need to blaspheme. Smiley yellow face.

Fake news.

Well I tell you one thing that has changed dramatically in the last 30 years and that's music gigs. Not just the prices they charge but the people who go.  Back in the day people went to gigs to see a band they liked these days I seem to see so many people at them who aren't really interested in the band they are just there so that they could say they went. Particularly true of the O2 with there corporate 'fans ' there. Yes I know...off on a tangent

As twitter handles go, I've seen worse.

Yes - I blame Thatcher.

  can't blame one individual for the loss of working class identity at football, the tories played their part people like Tracy crouch. Labour the worst and when the identity was destroyed the most. At least under thatcher we had maggies boot boys and war which was in Great Britains interest.

Blimey.  I originated as working class, and been fortunate to move up to middle class, (certainly in terms of salary), but im struggling to understand any of this last post

What do you class as a middle class salary?

[Hookeysmith]

Anything above minimum wage?

word is the African car reverser political stance was middle of the road

[MoetVillan]

80k? Jesus. So much for me being upwardly mobile. Still in bottom bracket then.

I cannot get out of my head the sketch on Not The Nine O'Clock News.  " And here is a message for our viewers in the north.  We are so sorry."

Would be great if venues would ban all mobile phones at gigs.
