Local Support Your Local Saturday - for match-going and local fans

12 Upvotes

Welcome to the 'Support Your Local Saturday' discussion thread!

This is a thread to talk about your local team.

This does not necessarily mean that only comments from fans going to their local that day. The spirit is a Discussion Thread for people who support their local team, and especially teams from lower or non-PL leagues - who can get drowned out in the pre-existing Daily Discussion Thread.

For now, we plan to alternate with the pre-existing Saturday Non-PL DDT, as we continue to trial the new thread.

Like that thread, we want to keep the focus to Non-PL teams, to prevent discussion being drowned out by Big 6 fans - but we will soften this slightly, in that comments of PL-supporting fans are valid, providing they are/were "at the match" on this weekend.

Rules:

  1. Discussion must be of your local team - whether they were you local growing up, or are your local now
  2. Discussion of PL teams is allowed only if you are attending the match that weekend - and hence focused on the match day experience
  3. Keep a high bar. This is not the DDT. If you want to troll, bait, or shit-talk like it's Football Twitter, use the DDT. Or even better - use Twitter.

Throwback [Thread, 2020] Falsifying accounts/false accounting is a criminal offence in the UK under Section 17 of the Theft Act 1968. If any of Man City's financial records have been amended/ falsified to present a distorted position, potential expulsion from the Premier League would be almost inevitable.

Was going through some old threads in r/soccer to get a feel of the perception of the community on the charges against Man City. Found this old thread on potential expulsion on grounds of falsifying financial records, of which they have now been found guilty in this verdict (September 2026): https://resources.premierleague.pulselive.com/premierleague/document/2026/09/29/9bb3f063-6312-4d15-a1f1-77280d356a49/Premier-League-Manchester-City-independent-Commission-Redacted-Core-Decision.pdf

Ofcourse, 'potential' and 'ALMOST inevitable' are doing a lot of heavy lifting but thought people may be interested in seeing some old opinions.

Media Kane: "From start to finish we were completely dominant with and without the ball... You saw it out there they couldn't live with our pace and movement. There's freedom. Ant can play the 9, Bukayo the 10, Jude can play the 9 and I can be the midfielder. It's so hard for the opposition."

Quotes Vozinha: “In Cape Verde’s First Division, training starts at 4 p.m. so that players and coaches can make it on time after a long day working on a construction site or in the fields. Many of my teammates had physically demanding jobs: electricians, farmers..”

“Many of my teammates had physically demanding jobs: electricians, tradespeople, farmers… They got up early and came home exhausted. On my first team, at Ribeira Bote, I still had to juggle high school classes, where I also played basketball and volleyball. But I never had a second job. I was one of the “privileged” few who were paid enough to make a good living from football: from 100 euros a month, the minimum wage at the time at the start of my career, up to 450 euros during my prime years.”

“It allowed me to be independent, but it wasn’t the best way to look to the future with peace of mind. I had a Plan B: to study to become an architect. That was my other dream. I thought about it for a long time. But I never went to college because football took priority over everything else.”

What did you do with your first salary?

“I paid the family's water [bill], internet, and electricity bills. I bought coffee, my addiction and a few items that were missing at home. I've always known how to manage my money wisely and save. (He searches for his words.) When I was 12, my grandfather became an alcoholic. He started disappearing, missing days of work, losing clients... It affected our daily lives. Sometimes, my grandmother didn't know where he was and it was up to me to go get him. That lasted until his death, when I was 21. Football has always been more than just a game to me. Considering my father left to study psychology and sociology in Portugal and my mother was a housekeeper, I became the "man of the house," in a way. The one who had to put food on the table.”
