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.

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.
Indeed. It's obviously quite alien to Football culture here, but it's brilliant over there.
Also - would challenge that plenty of people Tailgate and then don't go to the game itself. That's a small minority in my experience.

That may be the case for NFL where it’s harder to get tickets sometimes but certainly for baseball everyone’s going to the game (in my experience). And it’s all surprisingly civilized; the car park at the Milwaukee Brewers stadium is huge and there are literally hundreds of grills left out by cars during the game. If that was at football in England you’d expect them to be stolen or kicked over. Doesn’t seem to happen here.

The rugger ones for me. I am absolutely guilty of reverse snobbery when it comes to that type of person - I know that makes me the lesser person, but I don't care.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Thanks IB, that's interesting but I was off the impression that you have to buy an annual pass for the tailgates themselves and that a very large proportion of those people don't go to the games? This to me is a BBQ in carpark and whilst I'm sure there is a degree of atmosphere, I feel like unless you are going to the game that's all somewhat anticlimactic.
I do however like BBQs
Also should you not be watching the Cubbs rather than the Brewes, I realise Chicago and Milwaukee are pretty close but so are Ipswich and Norwich and given the owner of the brewers impending Nodge investment.......

The ones I saw seemed to just be an excuse to show off who's got the biggest truck (and by extension the smallest....).
I’m think the most ardent of true football fans have no issue with either of these sports or their fan bases considering how impeccable football fans have behaved over the years.

If they are playing..... on 11:55 - Jun 29 by Ewan_Oozami
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...
Yeah but the old club cyclists were always a wacky bunch with their daft rules.

A football top is a fashion item as well. Have to admit I wear a replica top when I go to football.
I wear football tops, I wear cricket tops, I wear clothing that advertises "engineering companies and online security packages" whilst cheering cars and motorbikes racing around many motor racing circuits in the UK and abroad because ive heard and been to more than just one place called Silverstone, and all as leisure casual clothing, I neither play or participate in any of those sports
Wear what you want, is my motto, I don't know why people get so hung up about it, maybe they're just jealous they don't look as good wearing it ;)

“ There can be seen more nautical wear, than any overly camp pride parade”
Nice stereotyping there Harry. I guess that kind of thing is frowned upon in Russia…
you don't sound too bright, let me help (if I can)
"an overly camp', note the word overly which denotes that not all pride parades are camp, nor all the participants are either - it merely talks of those participants who are, and often have a predilection for wearing sailors outfits
the irony of this thread being about how certain folk dress at sporting events, conforming to some suggested stereotype obviously escaped your limited thought processes
because seeing the words gay and camp in the same sentence could only mean one thing - hypocrisy over homophobia (to you)
otherwise I am perfectly happy with my views towards gay people, black people et whatever else folk are, though I do have to wonder what your motivation for attempting some kind of smear - as if I didn't already know
I shall be at Cambridge, (Green) on the 9th, joining my daughter and others, in fact there will be four other family members - we are helping set up one of the stalls, not sure whether 'non gay' folk should be involved in pro gay activities, but that is how it is
maybe you should pop along to your nearest pride event this summer, it might help

“You don’t sound too bright”
Interesting comment from somebody who doesn’t know how to use capital letters.
Apologies if your comment wasn’t intended as a distasteful joke. Clearly I made assumptions based on your previous form of jokes about disabled people and bigoted comments about Jehovah’s witnesses.

I now live closer to Milwaukee than Chicago but haven’t been to games at either for a few years now , mainly as my kids are no longer interested.
But yes, now Milwaukee are tainted by budgie association I hope they lose every game now.
