I thought can it get any worse ,well it did lol.
I thought can it get any worse ,well it did lol.One of my favourite football memories. Stood in the West Terrace after they've taken the lead. It goes really quiet. One bloke just loses his mind, screams:
"We're losing at home to f*cking Grimsby!"
I’m so pleased you had the same moral compass as WaspsI remember the drive to and from Stockport, thinking how great it would be having a season where we could go to games expecting to win. Just didn’t realise what a financial mess we were in.
Sometimes wish we had done a Leicester, but then my morales kick in. (Thanks so much mum and dad). And so although it cost us a bounce back, the fire sale was the right thing to do. Should not put other hard working people’s businesses at risk because we **** up.
? I think WASPS were awful, especially the ‘investment opportunity’ they offered. Another lesson from my parents, if it sounds too good to be true…. I feel for the poor souls who put their hard earned cash into their club.I’m so pleased you had the same moral compass as Wasps
I was actually comparing you with them sorry if you didn’t realise? I think WASPS were awful, especially the ‘investment opportunity’ they offered. Another lesson from my parents, if it sounds too good to be true…. I feel for the poor souls who put their hard earned cash into their club.
That said, if SISU had not been so busy battering people in court and did the morale thing they would have brought the arena for a very fair price and WASPS would have never been around.
why? do you think they had any morals? or are you just on a WU? Did you read what I said or is just having an immoral thought but not acting on it as bad as WASPS? If so you must live a very moral life and I ask for your forgiveness.I was actually comparing you with them sorry if you didn’t realise
You are completely misinterpreting what I meant so I’ll just leave itwhy? do you think they had any morals? or are you just on a WU?

Agree, next time they try to go, let them.

Mine was something shouted at Gary Borrowdale:One of my favourite football memories. Stood in the West Terrace after they've taken the lead. It goes really quiet. One bloke just loses his mind, screams:

After Sunday, I'd be happy for them to fuck off.It's definitely going to happen again at some point as well. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus are still opted in!
I think the only people who would lose out if it happened would be the local based fans of the clubs involved, but the owners have already shown they don't care.
Some of the Spanish and Italian cup finals have recently been played in the Middle East as well. Imagine beating Man United on Sunday and then having a final in Qatar...

People don't believe me when I say I don't want premier league football, but the side effects of it are awful.
The disparity in funds, the tourist fans, the soulless clubs and dubious morals. The money for 1 season to help set rhe club up would be nice, but as a constant to just spend time scrapping for mid-table and hoping that you don't end up financially ruined trying to compete - no thanks.
The best thing for English football would be that the super league happens and takes away the top clubs, that way the Arab and Yank money can go and do what they want with their play things and we as a country can go back to a more sustainable and fan led competition.
It would take decades to sort out, but the interest and money would slowly slip away from abroad as the prize money on offer locally would dip below the new super league.
I also think a huge amount of domestic 'fans' would move too, the majority of big 6 fans from outside their traditional catchment are not fans of the team based on connection, they're fans because they like winning. I would feel sorry for the United fans from Manchester and the Arsenal fans from North London etc but the majority would grumble, moan and feign outrage and then cream their pants when they signed Neymar for £300 million.
It would also need some government reform, to mandate some form of fan representation on all club and league boards. With a likely Labour victory at the next election, that may be more achievable - I don't think any conservative government would want to interfere in a 'free market' activity.

Yup. That was when Wee Gordon decided to walk, if I remember rightly.We lost 1-0 at home to Grimsby the week after.
Then people got cross.
Back to League 1 for the Saturday games. I agree, For me, the league structure needs to change. If we are to feed the Premier League with 3 ‘new’ clubs, they need to change.This is where I’m starting to get to aswell, fuck the teams off to the European super league and they can have there tv big bucks!
Leave the real football to us and bring back the Saturday games.
I remember it well - "we're all going on a Nationwide tour".You are describing me to a tee here. At Stockport County, our first league game after relegation I remember thinking this would be a fun season. A chance to clear out and rebuild. It's been almost a quarter of a century since that day.
Great post. Totally agree. The supporters of the big 6 ( which club is number 6 ?) are only concerned because they've cornered the domestic market. Nothing else. They're a very big fish in a big pond : comfortable, superior, arrogant beyond belief.After Sunday, I'd be happy for them to fuck off.
