As a Pom, a cricket fan, and a trumpet player I can understand
given recent sporting events. However, having grown up in pommy land in a time when
going to football (soccer) often wasn't a family option due to the idiocy of fans and their violent nature, I never got to enjoy the whole experience of a great family day out at the footy watching my team. In this country, and this code however I've always found it to be a fantastic event where the whole family gets involved from newborn to senior and is a wonderful part of Melbournes city lifestyle. If some twit in a velvet smoking jacket can add a bit to the sense of occasion and team pride then play on I reckon
