[The Fighting Cock]

We sat down with Aaron Wolfe to talk about how fans from the US fall in love with, having deepest respect for those that go to the games, caring as much as we do, and missing everything about watching our team play.

I'd be interested to hear what Aaron thinks of the development of football within the US. I've lived in the States a (very) short time and have been meeting blokes who are clearly very passionate about the game and their PL club, Spurs or otherwise, though tend to be dismissive of the domestic game. The quality may be lacking but there's a pretty strong ecosystem of leagues and clubs now.

For me, some of what was discussed in the pod can only truly be experienced from that physical, tangible connection to the club and community. I'm glad that people outside of England can forge a strong connection with Spurs but I feel that they could have a richer experience if they followed their local side, whatever the standard and stature might be.

*I'll qualify this by stating I live in one of the worst states (Arkansas) for interest in football, especially domestic, so it's no doubt different in NY, Pacific NW, California etc. where professional clubs are present.

I think the criteria is; if we lose, and you get over it before your next meal, you're a 'supporter'....
If it ruins your entire week and you can't even eat your next meal... you're a die-hard fan(atic)!!
