tag:cultzer0s.blog.co.uk,2009-11-11:/This page is all about your experience as a football fan. I want to hear from you if you have a story that will make other people laugh. It has to be set either on the way to a football game, at the actual game, or on the way back. It can be about the players, you or your mates. I don't want regurgitation of goals scored. This is about the peripheral experience of football. This is about the FANS!MokoFeed2009-11-11T10:19:12+01:00tag:cultzer0s.blog.co.uk,2005-05-14:/2005/05/14/verona_v_inter_milan/AjMitchel2005-05-14T14:33:40+02:002005-05-14T14:56:52+02:00 <p>My Brother and I wanted to see a Serie A game whilst staying in Verona.<br> We arrived at Chievo's stadium looking naive, I gather, from the speed with which we were pounced on by a tout. We didn't speak much Italian. My brother came back from "the deal" happy enough, which said a lot because it was rare for my brother to hand over about £90 and feel happy about it. But our smiles were flipped upside down when a number of Italian fans, seeing the tout scamper off like a cat burgler, came over towards us to gesticulate that the tickets were "no good".</p> <p>"How can they be no good?" I asked. Actually I said: "Errr... how come... no good?" (They knew what I meant.)</p> <p>In reply I saw the sorriest of faces trying to explain to me that we had bought tickets for what appeared to be a little girl with big tits. Clearly the tickets were the same for women and children (but it took me <em>months </em>to figure that out). After many groans, sighs and scratches of heads, one of the fans decided to summon another tout. About eight Veronese stood around us gesticulating (the Italians do a lot of this) to one another as my brother and I prayed that eight Italians weren't about to scamper off in unison into a crowd like cat burglers. Instead, they got us tickets for the Internazionale end. My brother and I stood amongst smoke, flares and flags and sang "Veronese Pezzo De Merde" (to the tune of: You're so shit it's unbelievable). Apart from the eight superb gentlemen of Verona that had helped us earlier, we meant every Italian word. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://cultzer0s.blog.co.uk/2005/05/14/verona_v_inter_milan/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:cultzer0s.blog.co.uk,2005-05-14:/2005/05/14/title_2916/AjMitchel2005-05-14T13:40:34+02:002005-05-14T13:40:34+02:00<p> <small> <a href="http://cultzer0s.blog.co.uk/2005/05/14/title_2916/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
