Could you follow Preston for a season? 14:42 - Jul 5 with 376 viewsBlackpoolJane

I’ve just read a book by a Hibs fan who went to watch Hearts for a season. It’s a fascinating experiment and an interesting read. Could you follow Preston for a season...?

It's a bizarre question, in many ways.

I don't get this "watching someone else as a substitute" concept at all. I thought the idea was to be emotionally involved, not just having an excuse to get out of the house.

Mind you, it worked well for Nick Hornby. He made a lot of money out of being anally retentive first, and a football supporter second.

Icon? It's all Rio Ferdinand's fault.

I fully endorse the previous two posts.

I've watched games not involving Blackpool over the years (including quite a few in Scotland), but that was really just to watch a game. (it's a totally different experience to watching the team you support).

The idea of of supporting another team for a season totally baffles me.

In the past I have had access to free tickets for other teams, occasional Man Utd ones and unlimited Bolton Wanderers tickets (when in the Prem) and PNE, but rarely went to watch a game.

Once in a while it is nice to watch one that you are disinterested in, but I don`t think I would do it on a regular basis just to watch football. You do need that emotional attachment, otherwise it is often rather dull unless you are in good company.

Happy to be (mostly) a non league football watcher now...
