Do you go to the stadium?

It has no more sense to go to the stadium in Italy. All the matches are in television, the prices are very high, violence is happening sometimes and you cannot go there with your family because there is to be afraid. In other countries, especially in England, it is different: you can go to the stadium with no danger and it is like a party, it does not matter if your team wins or not.

No, I prefer watching the games on TV. It is dangerous to go to the stadium, I agree not always, but better be safe than sorry. Even in Romania there are incidents between the fans and there are now more decisions of suspending the field or playing the game with no fans coming from the Federation of Soccer.

I am from England and I support Tottenham Hotspur. As all the premiership matches are on sky Tv or cable the only chance for me to watch football is in match of the day, which shows higlights of the matches.
I would go to see tottenham at their stadium more often but the tickets are very expensive with the cheapest ticket being about £35 and the most expensive £70! How cheap are the tickets in Italy?
You are right about the atmosphere though, there is no violence or bad sportsmanship apart from a few passionate fans.

No, I don't go to the stadium 'cause I hate the italian football system.
