Footie with 2,000 fans in a 60,000 stadium. Much better than with none..but I wish they would let just one away fan in, so they could sing 'Is that all, is that all, IS THAT ALL YOU GET AT HOME?

If the don't get the fans back in soon, people will realise football is nothing more than millionaires kicking a ball around for thier own good.

Week by week I am left wondering why I bother. I have to gamble on games to make them interesting.

I'd not thought of betting, but that might be the way. Can't get myself excited for 'ghost' games.

Don't bet on football as it is too unpredictable, especially without crowds. Sticking to horses and having a bad run at the moment. Have been using a friends on line account since Covid and the losses have now reached three figures. :oops:

£5 correct score makes it interesting.

Last winner was last week, £5 on united to lose 3-2. £135. Spent the money on 2 625va transformers.

I quite like betting 'in play'. Next scorer, number of corners.

I did OK a few years back, betting on bigger teams when they had gone 1 or 2 down by half time to smaller teams.
