Why would I want to watch a <strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>lower league Spanish club with multiple drummers, in Alicante?

<strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>Seasons by EFL Equiv:
Premier = 22 seasons
Championship = 50

the place where people go who have no imagination.

<strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>North Lincolnshire = 328 square miles.
Alicante province = 2,688 sq miles
<strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>
Scunthorpe population = 81,286
Alicante city population = 358,720

Highest point in North Lincolnshire = 168m
Highest point in Alicante province = 1,559m
There are over 50 peaks in excess of 1,000m in height.

Alicante has over 125 kilometers of coast line with 89 (2025) Blue Flag beaches (highest in Spain).

North Lincolnshire has approximately 40 miles of estuarine coastline.

1,574 rivers run through the province.
The longest is the Segura at 195miles.

87 rivers run through NL.
The longest is the Trent at 160miles in total length.

An international airport, an international seaport, miles upon miles of glorious pristine blue flag beaches, hundreds of mountains, lakes and rivers to explore, Europe’s only desert sits in the province next door, I could even jump ship and go and watch Elche in La Liga if I so desired (17 miles Hercules to Elche stadium to stadium).

<strong class=”d4pbbc-bold”>Imagine… if you’re the sort who goes abroad and only eats pie, chips & peas, fish & chips, chicken, chips & beans washed down by John Smiths, who loves bingo, tribute acts, karaoke bars, happy hours, drag shows, British themed pubs etc – you can always go to Benidorm… imagine (yuk!)

Fair comment, but to live in a country that still endorses Bullfighting, throwing donkeys off churches, and dragging goats during religious ceremonies, surely implies your endorsement of such barbarism.

You’ve omitted the Quail Catapulting… tsk.

“Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out.

Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable.

Of the entire brood, he is the only one… that possesses malice.
He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain.”

Mark Twain
