We'd have to refuse entry, or claim there was a mis-count, or that they were cardboard cut-outs, on free tickets! (Would the cardboard cut-outs need free tickets?) Anyway its just not right people from somewhere else coming to our games. Its pointless pretending they are really fans if they come from across the river, everyone knows that. So there you have it, I couldn't think of anything sensible to say but couldn't resist saying something daft. Something's better than nothing isn't it, even if it is salty tripe. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a lot to get a New Yorker out to New Jersey. I get the same feeling when I have to leave Toronto to go somewhere like Hamilton. I went for the rugby last weekend, what a nightmare trip it is. Stick to downtown stadiums, that is the trend in North America now. Edited September 1, 2019 by ojx 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Look at how NYCFC quickly became more popular than Red Bull simply due to the fact they were based in New York even though Red Bull were more successful on the field. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
