wormy Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That Crook Town owner sounds so detached from reality tbh. Doesn't he know how hard it is for a lower league club like sunderland to make ends meet? That £710.50 could go a long way for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Picking online fights with Crook Town. They're getting smaller by the week. Their owner's got a trust fund you know? Not sure if it's been mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they like to be known as the Black Cats, it might be supposed lucky when Sunderland FC cross your path. Crook Town take a different view. Town hosted Sunderland’s under-23 side on Wednesday in the Durham Challenge Cup, 534 spectators attracted to the Millfield. After the usual deductions, the balance was £1,421. Frequently these days, the big boys waive their right to half of the gate on such occasions – as did Newcastle United when 1,300+ turned out at Ashington the evening previously. No such luck with Sunderland. Crook this morning received a request for £710 (and fifty pence.) Club chairman Vince Kirkup, the most urbane of men, is angry. “We have to work hard for every penny we get and they’re a multi-million pound club. I know they’re entitled to their cut but it’s become an accustomed and much appreciated gesture that the big clubs don’t take it. To be honest, I’m disgusted.” The score? Oh aye.

Abacus Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That's an amazing thread. They are arguing that they can't afford to give up £700, that the person who posted it must be a mag, that the people from Crook are all mags and that they are sick of being taken advantage of (probably by mags). It's as if they are so stupid that their heads have exploded, and I Iook forward to their ongoing rivalry with Crook Town, and the North Sea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Always chuckle at the 1992rs craic that they cling to. What they’re forgetting is we still had bigger crowds and Durham was infested with thousands of mags pre 92.
