The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast - Episode 21

As a counter-balance to the nostalgic trip we took on Episode 19, Nick & Dom discuss some of the things they love about the modern game - and watching a lot of football as we do, it was a little easier than we might have imagined...... Welcome to Episode 21 of The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom. Football has changed a lot in the years we have been watching, and whilst a lot of the change has been detrimental - VAR being a classic example, we cover a list of things that we think are actually worth celebrating. We cover some great stuff, including, though not exclusively; The Mix of New & Old Stadiums Available to Travelling Fans Not Smelling of Ciggys After the Game (or Getting Secondary Diseases) The Return of Safe Standing Unrestricted Views The Openness of the Premier League & Championship This Season The End of Hooliganism The Ease & Availability of Games to Watch From Around The World Spotting Other Fans at Railway Stations on Away Trips The Variety of Merchandise - Maybe Not The Prices No More Astroturf Pitches - Sorry QPR & Luton And Much, Much More....... We think any fan of the modern game will really enjoy this episode - we certainly enjoyed recording it.  We also hope that you will have your own views too - please comment or get in touch, we would love to hear from you - what do love about the modern game?
