It's important to remember that the whole football demographic has changed. Chelsea is very middle class now, for example. I remember going there in the late 80s and it was very, very different. To judge these demographic changes based on female attendance in isolation is misleading.

To judge these demographic changes based on female attendance in isolation is misleading. A very good point. The whole matchday experience is now a world away from what it was in the 1980s. Much more commercial. With women's general tendency to enjoy shopping trips maybe that is part of the attraction and reason so many more are attending these days. Would be interesting to get hold of some statistics of sales from the big clubs' megastores to see what percentage of female fans are buying merchandise.

So women go to football to buy in the shop as they prefer shopping. Wtaf. My mum went for 60 years. Don’t think she ever went in the club shop. Both my girls have gone for years and years. Apart from the annual shirt purchase ( which stopped when they were about 13)they never go in the club shop. I think you’re just a wum

Not being wummish at all Turbo. Look at the big six and the people who attend their games nowadays, as well as their millions of fans around the world. A huge percentage are female nowadays and the merchandising men and the advertising agencies know this. Men are often a bit grumpy in the way they spend their hard earned cash but women sometimes throw it out the window. It excites them and gets their hormones pumped up. Shopping is a a lifestyle. Either a cupboard full of shoes and handbags or a cupboard full of Chelski regalia. Going to the match is just the cherry on the cake. Hello all my instagram followers!

You appear to be having a good go at being sexist there, I'm no PC apologist, but what the fuck has shopping preferences got to with being a football supporter?

I see the content of this thread is proving popular on DATM, apparently it's a hotbed of hate on here because somebody has questioned the authenticity of a poster - quite rightly in my opinion. For the record, nobody is getting banned, I would always prefer posters to ignore obvious wums - even the ones that are quoting posts from this forum, then trying to stir things up on DATM. Even though I do find the desperation for an argument quite amusing. ;-) It's likely its that toad off DATM. Blokes a fucking sad man. He doesn't just have time to post thousands and thousands of times on DATM, he's now added this to his collection. Can be sure his mum still makes his sarnies

Weird fucker

Steve says he ha reported it...... imagine how sad you have to be, to report someone calling someone else that. Its right up Ted's street, the complete fucking breast fed todger

Living where I do I used to ask various fans if they could get me a ticket and I’d pay them at the ground.
Invariably that was Scoffa.
Never knew him personally, he never judged, We just used to exchange pleasantries and we’d go off and watch the game. Top man.
Then there’s fans like Ted/ stagnum.
Fucking pathetic.

Can be sure his mum still makes his sarnies He’s said in the past how hard he works and how he hardly has any spare time. His interactions, and the amount of them, on DATM suggest his job really isn’t that taxing. Or he’s just a lazy cunt. Either is fine.

Either is fine. 😂😂😂 His charade with King Curtis continues on DATM. Rigodon: I suspect the suggestion was that your hand slipped, ya cunt. King Curtis: You thick admin cunt. You don’t need me to tell you which post Ted has reported for it being ‘personal’. The man is bonkers.

Owt that tit reports I'd take with a pinch of salt. He's vendettas galore and they need to realise this.
