I go to my basement, make it put the lotion in the basket and.....oh you mean my footy watching routine. No, nothing in particular.

I wear the same Collingwood shirt in front of the telly come gameday, because it totally has a direct effect on a football game that is thousands of kilometres away.
Judging by our current form, it must need a wash.

I always watch footy down in the rape dungeon with Alf.
If you turn the volume up enough you can barely hear the screams.

I sit on the couch with my iPad reading the thread on bigfooty.
Much better to read insightful posts like "silly umpires", or "did you see that" or " how many weeks". Much better than watching the silly game, it is just complicated, really.

Percel doesn't like microwave meals
Footy on the TV, tubegalore on the iPhone/ipad (both if I can sync some Mother/son stuff)
and I tend to do lot of scratch and sniff with whatever's in reach.

No, not really.
If it's a neutral game:
- buy a block of lindt chocolate and some sparkling mineral water.
- bite the first half of each lindt square, for the other half let it dissolve slowly to really appreciate the chocolate's quality
- ration 4 sips of mineral water for each lindt square
- at quarter time pop across the road
- buy three beers, usually BEEZ NEEZ or a new fav QUIET DEEDS
- buy a packet of burger rings or balsamic vinegar rock deli chips.
- Drink one beer per quarter
- divide the packet of chips into thirds so you still have enough for the last quarter
- text mates at half time, three quarter time to make fun of their team
- post on big footy.
If it's a hawks game:
- go to the game
- if not possible then go to a pub with at least one mate, prefer a hawks fan to an enemy. Will take a neutral in a pinch
- drink one pint per quarter
- buy salt and vinegar chips just before the game and at half time
- toilet breaks at 20 minute mark of each quarter.
Interrupt any of these and I will ******* lose it.

Mine is trying to organise a BBQ at my house and gently trying to exclude the womenfolk who seem to want to discuss interior decorating during the game on my game watching couch in front of my game watching TV

Etihad game - Woolshed before. Sit in shitty Essendon members seats surrounded by morons who know nothing about the game and get generally really shitty that I can only get mid strength beers.
MCG game(Essendon playing). Level 3 seat, Bar before, Bar at 1/4 time, Bar at 1/2 time plus a few minutes into the 3rd. Heavy drinking at the bar once Essendon win.
MCG game(Nuetral supporter). Depending if the boys want to watch its the same but if im with another Neutral and its not a Sunday, ive been known to spend the entire game in the bar watching the interstate game on the screen or talking rubbish.
Ive really got this whole spectator thing worked out.

Wake up in the morning feeling like L Shuey
Grab my scarf I'm out the door I'm gonna go to Subi
Before I leave I like to whack it to a picture of Jack
'Cos when I leave for the game I ain't looking for a shag
I'm talking shitty beer at the ground, ground
Ashton Hams ducking 'round, 'round
All our fans not making a sound, sound
Dean Cox and pleading for a free kick
Adam Selwood making me sick
Trying to sledge our Tom Swift
Game time, I hate life
Umpy, you are f***ing blind
BigFooty, I post s**t
'Til I learn to cool it
Game time, I feel smashing
When we start the thrashing oh
BOOOOOO-OOOO-OO-OO
BOOOOOO-OOOO-OO-OO

Not so much a football watching routine but if I happen to be umpiring then things have to be a certain way.
This. Oh and the problem with a routine is that I don't have foxtel or anything like that so I'm switching between going to the game, watching it on tv or listening to it on the radio. So there's no real place for pattern anyway. People who seriously have a routine for every game seem odd, do you have to listen to the radio in the same way you watch the game? What if you're driving? Why would you do the same thing at the game that you'd do watching it at home?
"Sorry hun, before we drive I have to go through my pre game routine before we can leave and I can listen to the game on the radio". This man will get divorced fairly quickly I reckon.
