    I just think the mentality around hospitality at a lower level club makes you feel more at home. That even they might not have the massive stadium and the greatest players in the world that you are part of their family. Thats what its all about.

      As a Brit in Germany you couldn't be further from the truth. Very, very different footy cultures in almost every way possible. Ellis even pointed a few of them out. Simlarities pretty much end after attendance sizes and willingness to consume beer (not even consumption of beer, due to English laws). Sweden, Denmark and of course Scotland are the closest footballing experiences to England I've experienced, and I've watched games in most Euro nations.

They all know exactly when to set off fireworks, or raise a giant banner, or sing a particular song. it's like a west end musical based loosely on football. The game finished 0-0 and was lousy but I'll never forget it (great wine bar though) - they never shut up for the whole game

    Maybe once a year you should gather all your mates and do football challenges/trivia and the winner at the end gets to choose the match you all go to.

    I went to Soccer City in Soweto yesterday to watch Orlando Pirates V Kaiser Chiefs. 90,000 supporters enjoyed a 3-2 win for Pirates. You might want to consider this as an experience!

    You should visit the best and worst hospitality in the top 5 leagues in Europe and then do the same in MLS
