Why lie to him? If he likes it he'll be back and realise you were lying. Just lay the cards out as they play, he's either going to love it and want more or he's going to enjoy himself but will still prefer football on TV, but don't dress it up. Let him make a proper call.

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
