Why do you go to games?

[fbm]

Think about this please, but there is no particular need for elaboration or justification of your choice unless your response is "Other".

So, pure and simple - why do you attend?

 

[Liam AAS]

Is there any way to have the poll allow more than one choice?

 

[WestyReturns]

Think we need to have more than one voting option for this to work

There is now.

The poll needs another category - “I got hooked on watching xxx years ago and am addicted and can’t stop my self however bad it gets”

Where’s the my blood is blue option?

 

[dcblue]

I voted other.
I have always loved football and Southend have been my local team for over 60 years.
For some reason, my wife thinks I'm insane, I look forward to every game. When I used to play I hated losing and always gave 100% and it is the same watching. As long as I can see total commitment from players and staff I can live with defeat.
This season has been a huge frustration and I feel there is a lack of commitment and effort.

Masochism.

As hard as it is, it my club, its my families club through my dad, my mum still goes, my son still goes. We support them through thick and thin but boy it’s a struggle at times

To moan

 

[Flinty]

I started the season with ‘to support my club no matter the result’ but having witnessed less that 2 or 3 good halves of football, the constant sideways and backwards across defence..lack of attacking intent, failure to change things when they aren’t working and strange team selections, I’m afraid I now only go as I have a season ticket ….never thought I would get to this point.

Not sure which box to tick from all of that !

 

[IloveShrimp]

I voted to be entertained and see my footballing friends. However this may not be the case next season, for after 50+ years of watching the shrimpers I am now finding them depressing. I find that after all this time that I am now questioning the justification to renew my season card or spend Saturday afternoons being bored to tears.

 

[Rob Noxious]

My 'other' selection stems from a connection to the club through my home town. Having moved away from Southend many years ago, that connection has felt important to my sense of where I'm from.

You can take the man out of Southend (Essex) but you can’t take Southend (Essex) out of the man.

May see you at Tamworth, Dave - if so, that Tamworth Tap looks well worth a visit.

Was looking for “not really sure ” but couldn’t see it

50/50 on that trip Rob but the grandson might drag me along.

So the question was "Think of the primary reason...", indicating that only one reason was wanted, which is why there wasn't a multi-vote option in the original poll.

Oh well, never mind.

 

[PIERS]

‘How they play or the result’ would get my vote if it included put in a shedton of effort
