the_unhinged_one Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think the title gets the point across pretty well.... My better half recently referred to me as a "Giant Tool" because I insisted on wearing my best suit for a Cup Final in game. To me it's normal & has been since FM2005, has now become tradition. So my question is, how many of you would do something similar? Or, does anybody have any other "Interesting" traditions that have developed with FM?

GeordieG1971 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes, yes you are indeed mental. As mentioned it has been done before. But im sure most of us FM managers appreciate the dedication to your team. And no, i don't think i would go that far myself. But if you want to wear a suit...go for it. Good luck for the final by the way (if your in one). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you win a trophy, do you parade yourself around your local town or village as well? Not sure I'm quite there yet, wearing a suit for the final is one thing but hopping on the open top bus with a home made trophy requires a bit more erm..... dedication than I've got.

B. Stinson Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Personally, I wouldn't consider this crazy at all. Ultimately, it's about extending the experience by creating the feeling of actually being there. This is pretty common with simulation games. Take, for example, flight simulation - homebuilt cockpits are very popular, and many can easily cost thousands of dollars before they're done.

Robert the Spud Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 When i got Spurs to the CL final at the Allianz Arena, not only did i wear a suit, i perused images of the stadium and listened to the Champions League music preceding the game. I then did a press junket afterwards, saying how proud i was of the lads even after a tight 2-1 defeat to Barcelona. It's admissions like this that make me thankful the internet is anonymous.
