Football and the Census

What with the census coming up, and the usual talk of "who's going to put Jedi?" etc. etc. I had an idea.

All of us who don't have an actual religion should put "Football supporter". Any fan of any team. If it's true that you only have to get a certain number and then it becomes an official recognised religion, then we could make being a football fan a real religion and it would become the law for employers to let anyone off work on matchdays (what with them being Holy Days of Obligation).

There's got to be something in this.


Here's another thought:

We might EVEN make it so Sky can't move games when they feel like it because it's our religious holiday.
