True, (although the part about the club shop was partly tongue-in-cheek). You're right though, but I care so much about Derry City and the LOI that when I take 'outsiders' to games I end up worrying about whether they're enjoying the match when I don't really need to. Anyone I've brought who has come back has come back because they enjoyed the fans- the singing, the craic, the passion and the thrill of live football, regardless of how much time the ball was in the air or how spectacular the goals were.

I suppose it's the same when you recommend anything that you really enjoy and want someone else to enjoy, whether it's a book, a band, or a film etc, you're slightly excited about them feeling similarly.

You're spot on and particularly the part i've bolded, i used to do it a lot myself. For as many people as i've brought to LoI games, never once has one of them not liked it. Some came back a few times and still go on and off and some still go regular. I used try dress it up too but i found that it was the ordinariness of it, that was most appealling to them.

I have had the same experience.

Although, when I took non-fans, I always saw the game from a different point of view - rather than just wanting a result, I noticed the crapness of the facilities, the crapness of the football, and the pitiful number of fans at the game. I suppose I thought that was what they would notice, but actually they enjoyed it and were keen to come back.

Careful thischarmingman, I think I notice a hair out of place towards the back. You might want to gel it down again. :P
