Dancing Brave Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 7 hours ago, Doctor Zaius said: I can't remember the season or the match we were going to. But, in the early 80s you used to go to away matches via the official supporters club if you were a young 'un . then you went via train and daft busses etc as you got older. I do remember going to an away match via the official supporters club and seeing lots of Armstrong Galley coaches full of NUFC fans heading to where ever..then another Armstrong Galley bus full of....Man Utd fans..Gateshead branch passed us ! Just the one but fucking hell ! Apparently Gateshead had one of the biggest branches of Man U fans in those days ? Dunno if it was true I just remember hearing that ?

Stifler Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hundreds of people on a normal wage losing their job whilst they spunk hundreds of millions on average players, paying them millions each, spend millions buying a DOF, only to sack him a few months later in the middle of a hissy fit at losing a match, and talking about building the biggest stadium in the U.K. Surely there should be some sort of law preventing companies from doing such things?

Sima Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I was under the impression it was to cover losses. Particularly now Ghodoussi and Staveley have exited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why sell Anderson when owners could just throw in £30 million to eliminate any PSR losses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
