I got dragged to a football match at the Everton ground verses Newcastle united as one of them never turned up for work on Monday morning so they gave me his ticket. (I thought Manchester had fervent fans but these Geordie boys were football crazy lol) when we worked in north Wales at a site in Pontybodkin'

Aye football and NUFC are a religion round these parts, I'm afraid I don't follow that faith though. Never been able to see the attraction, suppose its because my dad wasn-t interested either, so it was never introduced to me. Several mates have tried to drag me along to a match, but unsuccesfully. I would be bored after 30 seconds.
