Yesterday I went to Reading to see some friends for dinner, in order to maximise my time there, i went to watch the local football team play at extravagantly named Select-A-Car stadium. Reading FC played Barnsley in a third tier match. The game ended in a 2-2 draw and it was good way to spend an afternoon. Obviously the skill levels were below the levels of the EPL, however it was the excitement, frustration, joys and the sense of shared community spirit which caught my mind. Here you can let out your emotions alongside your fellow fans and spectators. This cannot replicated in a pub or watching it via television at home. Despite advances in technology, nothing matches the thrill of watching something live.
