.....it's a difficult one.
Middle class women in flowery dresses and sun hats that go to Wimbledon every year and shout "Let's go Andy, let's go"?
Middle aged blokes that go to Silverstone wearing clothing that advertise engineering companies and online security packages while they cheer at cars going round a track?
Upper class knobs wearing red chinos, deck shoes and polo shirts (collars up) going to the rugger with their mate Rupert who's got a sweater tied around his neck?
FFS.
I hate them all. |  |

....then they can be excused.
The same goes for cyclists, although I take the point that some people feel the need to dress in the full regalia just to watch.

At the risk of being ostracised, I have 'never' understood wearing football kits for anything other than playing. | |

Totally on board with this - I don't see them as casual wear
Sports kit is for taking part in a sport - just wear normal clothing when watching sports - simple. Thankfully swimming fans follow this guidance | | | |

Two golden rules given to me by a weather-beaten old clubman when I first started cycle racing in the mid-70 and which I still abide by today:
On the bike: club kit on club rides and when racing, generic non-branded brightly-coloured visible kit all other times.
When cycling to watch events: one item of club kit is permissable, everything else generic brightly-coloured kit.
The amount of cyclists I see out now either in full Merckx Molteni kit, or completely black light-absorbing ninja kit (without lights) is totally embarrasing..and indeed terrifying... |  |

During lockdown the family opposite me used to go cycling together. Mum and the kids used to wear casual wear whilst the dad used to dress like he was taking part in some sort of Olympic time trial. Was quite a sight. |  | | |

A football top is a fashion item as well. Have to admit I wear a replica top when I go to football. | | | |

Anyone at Wimbledon wearing any kind of Union Jack regalia, anyone at Wimbledon wearing a back to front baseball cap, anyone at Wimbledon who cracks up when a player does a keepy uppy, anyone in the Royal Box, fist pumpers in the players stand, anyone waving on Henman Hill, anyone at Wimbledon. |  | | |

Not really a thing in this country but the American concept of pre game tailgate dos is bonkers to me.
People pay to have access to a parking lot where they bbq, marinade and all sorts of other things and then most of them don't actually even go to the game but instead watch it on some tele they have rigged up to the RV power generator. That's seems madness to me.
Would you pay to have a BBQ in FPR car park whilst not actually being able to attend a game?
Also at the French open the locals have a habit of making a noise that I can only describe as sounding like a bulimic frog between every singe point. This should be seen as a crime so heinous that wine should be withdrawn from the perpetrators for life [Post edited 29 Jun 2022 13:10]

I've always assumed that's because it's a golf course and so has a dress etiquette they're complying with. If not, it is indeed very odd! |  |

I believe they also dress up as if they're playing golf when they're just going shopping. My old fella did anyway, RIP. | |

I find tennis fans the scariest people; a truly terrifying breed with their netball chants and upside down union jacks.

A local writes in defence of the tailgate….
Been to a few of these for baseball games in Milwaukee. You’re paying to park anyway so it’s not an additional fee. Get there a few hours before and get beered up without paying $14 for a cup of piss inside the stadium. Somebody inevitably brings a grill and fires up some food. Again saving money on stadium rip off prices. It actually makes sense. |  |
