I could go for - you can only watch football in the ground or a pub ( no fan parks) Cup finals allowed on the BBC.

should be illegal punishable by jail time + addition to a football offender registry to attend OR WATCH a football game played in a stadium that is not the mathematically closest stadium to your parents registered address at time of your birth, imo

fwiw the main argument in favour of the 3pm blackout is not that Old Trafford is suddenly going to be half-full if you put the games on TV, it's the worry that people would sack off lower-league football to watch Arsenal vs Norwich (if you can get someone to charge you £4 for a pie and to soak the very foundation of your house with the scent of urine, it's about the same) of course, you could just have all of your Premier League games on a Sunday and let you pick the one you want to watch, but that's some Tomorrow's World poo poo

Also the closest stadiums to both where I was born and where my parents lived have both now been demolished, what's the ruling there? There's gonna be a lot of people in Romford extremely annoyed they now have to go to Brisbane Road now that the Boleyn is gone. e: Huh, Mile End is *also* closer to the Den than Upton Park (although it is closer to Stratford than either). Also the Valley is also closer to Wapping than Upton Park, TIL. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Sep 11, 2021 |

My nearest cricket ground is Lords and I'm sure they won't let me in there, and the only horse anything near me is Bow nick where they keep the police horses. Playing around with the "old stadium" rule I've just arbitrarily decided applies - Hermit Road, where Thames Ironworks played, is *very slightly* closer to Mile End than Millwall Park, where Millwall first played. Phew. Also all Charlton fans now support Arsenal, thems the breaks.

Nah they were over in Custom House, but Clapton Orient *might* have been closer depending on exactly where on Homerton High Street their ground was (I suspect right over at the eastern edge by Hackney Marshes but daren't look because Brisbane Road is the most irritating ground in the country and I refuse to pay money to enter a stadium where they've not managed to fix the position of the club name after a hundred bloody years).

city fans throw a tantrum every time they remember that uefa don't bend over backwards for them to financially dope their way to winning the CL every season edit: and i say this as if uefa actually stopped them, lol - they've basically gotten away with buying the cup but they refuse to actually finish the job
