Don't throw 'deserves' in there if we are talking upwards of 200k for playing football.

Tbf it's not just Man Utd but that cartel of clubs. It would have been a similar conversation had Liverpool or Arsenal been down there. But it's symptomatic of how sports media works, it's also a self fulfilling prophecy by focusing on a certain few clubs, keeps them bigger in the public eye for sponsors, advertisers etc and many fans who don't support their local clubs and aren't drawn to other clubs.

Both can be true.

The quality is poor but as a spectacle for ups and downs and intrigue it's great. Probably the most interesting division in Britain and probably Europe.........but God no, I wouldn't want to be in it.

It's not explained at all and nor will it when AUP's are kept private. Any idea why that would be ?

I do know someone who moved from Washington to Kinky Park after their sons school got free tickets to the match at the weekend........ "Newcastles away at the weekend son"......"It's Sunderland dad".......Hoose on the market pronto.

I think we are closing the gap but wo t be allowed to close the gap because of their headstart.

I mean 29% for us could be less actual cash than 7% for others.

Mam City splashing some cash on young players. Anyone foresee a punishment for the 100+ charges being a fine (easy payable) transfer ban (tipped off so buy now) and suspended points deduction ?

What's that in £s ?

He wrongs for the Telegraph.

I'm surprised our fans havent raised their concerns via chants etc about how corrupt the set up is. A few thousand belting out on skysports during live game. "This league is corrupt, This league is corrupt, It's now just a cartel, This league is corrupt" Or some such.

I'd say he's very much an outlier.........and probably a reform voter.

Yeah I suppose. Still, saves me getting arrested which I'd likely do if I sat next to one. I guess there may be a bit cache the "renowned" atmosphere etc

I dont think we are too far for tourist fans, we aren't successful enough as yet.

5% for away fans would be nearer the mark.

I really don't think anyone will expect it.

That's exactly what we are expecting. I expect pay to pay the same as the bloke who sits behind who isn't on the deal. We got an email at the time.e of last seasons renewal to say it was the last season of the freeze.

Don't think anyone thinks that but everyone has a price beyond which they'll say "no thanks"

What's the current going rate in Milburn L7 ?

For many of those on the price freeze, the payment schedule ran from February so It'll be interesting to see if any new pricing is indicated by then.

Sima, myself and Midds used to be on there.

Derby should have won up here.

He was also very well marked by Huijsen, who played very well. Wish we could have followed through on him when we were interested.

Shearers. Food is surprisingly canny.
