Why the ******** does anyone have to pay $25 for the privilege of sitting around a car park with a bunch of fat Yank weirdos in beards listening to Country music and shouting things like "Woooooo-hooooooo!!!!!!" and "Yeeeeeee-Haaaaaaa!!!!!!!!" ??

Same reason Yanks make pilgrimages to places like Craven Cottage so they can sit around in pubs with a bunch of fat, balding, scraggle-toothed Brits who reek of Carlesburg at 11 in the morning belching about fooking wankers and mingers.

I'm still none the wiser, I'm afraid.

I made that pilgrimage this year.

I am not nor ever will be in Metronation, but the $25 is for the membership for their "supporters club." Its more then a tailgate, but not much more, judging from the amount of support they offer.

If anyone is showing up to the stadium before the match to drink and kick around the ball, I would reccomend swinging by near Gate C, which is near your entrance to the England supporters sections. A fair amount in the Empire Supporters Club should be there drinking, lots of expat Irish, English and Scots.

He's right though, I was thinking about going along to this but what exactly do you get for your $25?

Probably safe to assume that you didn't have to pay £25 to get in the pub!

This a fund-raising tailgate for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In addition to covering our expenses, we want to be able to make a sizeable donation to LLS.

Please buy online, because it helps us get a head count. Also, we are charging an extra $5 at the tailgate to incetivize people to buy online. You just bring your receipt, get a stamp and start eating and drinking. We will have soft drinks, but BYOB.

Sounds great it's a shame I can't make the match. I apologise for the behavior of my compatriot, most of us are decent, friendly, civilised human beings.
