Football- A summer game

[HD8 Blades]

Football was once winter game to keep cricketers fit throughout the Winter months. It doesn't need to be. Rugby league switched to a summer game, couldn't we? Why do we need to sit outside in the driving rain, wind and snow with postponements and numb feet. Who doesn't love early and late season games with the sun on your face?

If we resume the season in June then we can restart again in December, why not Boxing Day or a New Years day kick off and play through to August/ September. Play the World Cup / Euros in warmer climates in the Autumn. Quatar in the winter has already been mentioned due to it being so hot there in the summer.

Just a thought

That would be gay .


In all seriousness though. Players and football fans alike will always make more of an effort when it is cold. Keeping warm is a big factor in this .

Aye go on then

Just pissed myself laughing at that alone.

I'm a simple man.

 

[Linz]

Only if they change the rules on drinking on the terraces... need to keep cool.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

Because football is ace in cold weather.

I am a simple man too. Gayness freaks most people out anytime you mention it though.

If we start again in June. We can start next season late September.
Only 9 games left can play them in space of 4 weeks.

Winter is depressing enough, imagine it without football

 

[YES Blade]

What’s the point when we have summer tournaments? Other than odd years, there is always football to watch.

Winter would be bloody miserable without football.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Lets just ban everything. Thinking outside the box is done as is normality.

I take your point but if you're like most of us you watch England play tournament games at home or in the pub. When you're actually there would you prefer May, 20 degrees in a T-shirt or 2 degrees in mid winter? We live in a country that has wet cold miserable winters. Have you ever been to an outdoor concert that was arranged in winter. Rod Stewart booked Bramall Lane in June, why do we sit outside for 2 hours in winter. If you think about it, it's a bit daft
