Kyle_123 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Gentlemen, Well with this new book coming out about the Obession of Football Manager, just wanted to throw it out there and ask a few if its ever prompted you to do something that you never normally would. The reason im putting this out there is Next week im off to Stade Rennais to watch the season opener at The Rue De Llorient against Lyon. Now I'm not some huge superfan of Rennais, I do casually look out for there results, but more than anything im going because they once took a chance on me when I started my first ever journeyman game a few years back, after a French Cup win I moved, but from then on I've always looked out for them and there results in real life. So for this reason, and pretty much this reason alone (I do love football and will watch any team of any level) im off to France next weekend for a big opening day against Lyon. Anyone else ever done this sort of thing? I do remember reading somewhere that a couple of lads went over to Holland to a small club, and they had a blast of a time, but just wondering on here the FM community if anyone else had done this sort of thing? Would be awsome to read a few of your stories! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I went to watch England against Slovenia at Wembley. Midway through the match I realised that I only really liked Upson of the England team, whereas I liked several of the Slovenia side due to their antics on FM. I switched to supporting them.

Kyle_123 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 HAHA. I was going to Stockport County games as my girlfriend at the time lived there, and now i always give them a go on FM, normally doesnt last long, but still try and bring some glory to Edgley Park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eplkewell Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I certainly make a point to watch Torquay every time they're on TV in the states (about once every two years) due to my love of them on FM. I know when I went to the World Cup in Germany a lot of Europeans were impressed that an American kid had such an impressive knowledge of European footballers. That was largely due to being a huge fan, but I know FM helped me out too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dune297 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Went to New York see the Trophée des Champions last week between Lyon and Montpellier. Lyon was my first football manager venture, so I thought I'd pay my homage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle_123 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 2-2, Lyon won on pens. Awsome, im looking forward to seeing Lyon, Hugo Lloris, Jérémy Pied, Yoann Gourcuff and all. I just reallly, really, really hope that Stade Rennais dont sell Yann M'vila before I can get there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
