New research out today has revealed more than half of football fans think about the game at least once every minute.
The poll, by The Football Association to mark the Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day taking place on Saturday, shows that 63 per cent of football fans said that the national game was also their main topic of conversation. Nine out of ten (94 per cent) admitted they plan their year around the football season with 89 per cent booking holidays around football so they don’t miss a game.
A further 91 per cent said they have cancelled plans such as attending a wedding or a birthday party because of football. More than half (52 per cent) of football fans admitted they think about football more than food and a further 50 per cent said they thought about football more than work. Nearly one in five of those polled (19 per cent) admit to checking on football news and updates every minute. Fifty-nine per cent get direct alerts sent to their phone or email and 65 per cent will immediately talk to their friends about breaking football news. Two thirds (66 per cent) revealed football is the first thing they talk about with their colleagues on a Monday morning and 66 per cent said football gossip is the ultimate ‘small talk’.
