This series, an FA Cup of 18th C commanders if you like, has already reached round 3. Maximilian von Browne is the Grimsby Town of the competition, reaching the Quarter Finals. But I suspect, like the Mariners in 2023, MaxiB has reached the end of the road. Still, his supporters will have had a nice journey and a fine day out and a good singsong in Brighton Freed from Desire
The project is a bit of fun but it does provoke some interesting debate amongst the presenters and food for thought.
I may have possibly got my metaphorical wires crossed somewhere along the line, but I might have got away with it.
I enjoyed the video footage of the singing fans, not to mention the fabulous inflatable fish brandished by many. When I look back on my season ticket holding days ( for HMFC) what I recall with greatest affection were the songs and the “ witty “ banter of individuals within the crowd. Our tickets were for the enclosure and we fans were close enough to the pitch for players to hear and sometimes interact with the crowd! I like the English cricket team all having their personal songs as well as communal ones. Terrific podcast indeed btw.

I never knew you were a frequenter of Tynecastle.
DeleteMuch of the football going experience is homogenised but there’s still spontaneity in the crowd which can be very funny.
