Robbie Savage's mum Val on how the noise of the crowd is the heart of football

mirror.co.uk:

It’s so strange watching football with no crowds. Nothing beats being there in the stadium - so it’s fantastic to hear fans might be back soon if it’s safe.

The noise and passion of the crowd creates such an adrenaline rush it’s no wonder most people become addicted to attending matches the first time they go.

It took a little while for me to get used to blocking my ears from the choice language in the crowd, and years to work out how to wear the right clothes to be comfortable at the match.

I watched my first game with my late husband Colin when we were courting. He took me to cheer on Wrexham and I turned up in my smartest mini dress and black patent three-inch stilettos.
