    Strange how huge away culture is in this country but really isn't adopted in the likes of Spain and Italy.

    He did and then went on the internet and grassed himself up after the club appealed.

    Away fan culture is lesser in Italy, but it's also a bigger country. If he travelled from Udine, that was 318 miles on a freezing Monday night to a stadium they play at twice a season. And that's just across the north of Italy.

    Still though, you'd expect a few more there. Fair play to the guy, I suspect he'll be getting a few drinks brought for him at their next home match.

    Remember looking at the skysports app on my phone yesterday and the result was already in at about 7pm

    Not sure why they are playing fixtures on Monday afternoons.

    I'd like to think that he had his own personal turn-style operator, barman, burger-flipper pizza topper, bookie, programme seller and safety steward. And that they were all different people; no doubling up on jobs.

    I went to Pisa on my own during the Selhurst days for a PSF and never saw another CAFC fan. No photo evidence, mind you...

    It's quite amazing to think that a side who get about 20k most home games and play in europe each season couldn't find more than 1 fan to travel to an away game which isn't even that far really.

    That is brilliant and away fan culture is not what it is in the UK, which does not make them wrong, just different.
