The news that almost a quarter of men from Birmingham would choose their football team ahead of their partner came as a shock to me. Not quite as much as when I found that 28% of men from Leicester would make the same preference! I guess a lot of Leicester's men wish they were with someone more like Natasha.

| Natasha on Take Me Out (thisisleicestershire.co.uk) |
26-year-old Natasha Tyers recently won a date on ITV1's Take Me Out where it became apparent she was a big Leicester City fan. This statistic means that there are 60, 500 men choosing their team over their partner in Leicester; they obviously don't have a girl like Miss Tyers!
As for me, my football team, Leicester City, is very important to me. I don't think I could choose it over my wife-to-be. She has to come first in everything for our marriage to work and I'm prepared to do that. However, I am ever so blessed to have a partner who has taken on my Fox-hood full storm and who is currently looking forward to our trip to the Walkers on Saturday, our sixth match of the season. She can even name players at a glance. Awesome!
Bettor.com's quote that women should respect the football love and just not ask to do something at 3pm on a Saturday makes sense to me. Although, if you are lucky enough, like me, you can just take your wife along with you!
The fact there's even one single person who would do this confuses and depresses me.
