Let There Be Noise

Its a dangerous old business being a football fan you know.

According to some research a few years ago, over-excitement can increase the risk of heart attack.

And then there are the important health and safety issues relating to noise levels. For example, Sunderland are apparently the noisiest fans in the Premiership, with fans being advised to wear ear defenders to prevent long term damage. Fulham are at the bottom of the league table.
E..v..e..r..t..o..n fans, it seems, have the most staying power.

But none of these examples compare with the difficulties facing the organisers of the Clericus Cup tournament.

You wonder why they feel the need to cheer so loudly. After all they've got God on their side.

Feed me a video georgina. Ok...great piece. Maybe, we need to get behind the idea of religious football teams on a grander scale than an "old firm" derby.

What do people think ?
