Not perfect because it only really applies to one club, but you can get an LFC subscription and listen to the audio of games. I imagine other clubs have this, so whatever your team is you could at least have that game. I haven’t found a good work around for all clubs either!
I love being a Liverpool fan and wouldn’t change it for anything amount of money. Been one since birth, would go to games with my dad as a kid when it was affordable, and Anfield is the most “home” feeling place in the world for me.
I remember watching through college on shitty pirated streams, mostly losing, and loving them anyway.
The more recent run of being relentless and powerful has been such a joy, but even last year, through actual misery and fear losing and drawing so many at the start, we also then would bang out a 7-0 win.
It’s not just about watching the games though; I enjoy all the media content put out by the club, and YNWA is a mentality for true fans. With the recent Diaz stuff, we all felt wounded and afraid and just wanted his dad home. When it’s the anniversary of Hillsborough, it’s a somber reminder of tragedies that happen, and that we need to love and hug our loved ones because you just never know what could happen.
When I’m sad, I rewatch Istanbul and feel a sense of power again. When I need a reminder of the power of hope, I watch CORNER TAKEN QUICKLY and I’m just in awe of the players for what they’ve accomplished.
I can’t speak to what it’s like supporting other teams, and I don’t think it’s really a big 6 versus the rest. I think it’s just whatever it means to you.
