Can't beat buying a pack of warm lager from Asda to drink on a car park between a Stadium and a KFC.

On that theme, Newcastle fans spent most of their League Cup weekend drinking cans in Trafalgar Square and both Boro/Sunderland are planning similar if they make the playoff final. Er lads, there are lots of pubs in London. Try a few of them.

A very weird regionalised thing.

Bit more to it than that. They cook food too, drive RVs in and set up awnings and the full shizzle. It's basically like camping but with cars. Some of them get there at 8-9am as well on the day of the game. Nutters tbh.

I absolutely got the work that went into it, in Philly and I'm sure every other NFL game it's strategically planned by many and a real event, but in reality it's no different to what a lot of you lot do in the Royal London, just colder and with bean bags.

Do you always play touch football as well?

Cornhole and Farmer's Golf are the go-to's for me, but if you've got 10+ people together and a ball to chuck around? Absolutely.

The same things always happens with English clubs in Europe, have to take over the local town square etc.

I will not have a bad word said against the art of holing corn.

Damn right!

 

[Kenny]

Damn right!

I was a fan the moment I knew they had a competition called the Super Hole

 

[Keef]

I’m completely lost here, I always thought tailgating involved wankers in BMW/Audi/Mercedes driving to close behind you and flashing their lights to get you to move out the way

There is a World Champion corn holer and the champions are televised.

They take it very seriously, somewhat hilariously.

Farmer's Golf is the superior time-waster tbf

What's that Ted Lasso quote? "Cornhole is life"?

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

WTF is a cornhole? As above, I only know it as a Beavis & Butthead reference!

I spent way too long watching it in a bar in Nashville.

It's a hole you put corn in.

Obviously.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So a close relation to aunt Sally then. Sorry America, you didn’t invent that one either.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

So it’s basically throwing a small bean bag into a hole?
