Guest Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Anyone got quotes from Sir John Hall from back in the day? I’m sure he was an advocate of this mid 90s. Just as well Ashley saved the day by making us too shite to be considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 13 minutes ago, Wallsendmag said: He's sort of right. Young people aren't interested in attending football matches as much these days, certainly not in our country. A study of Premier League season ticket holders a few years ago had the average age of a Premier League supporter at 45. This of course is mainly in part to Premier League clubs pricing their young fans out though over the past 20 or so years which has ended up costing them a generation of supporters. My son is 8. He's football daft but in his class at school there's only 2 others (from 30) who are interested in football. It's the virtual world, innit. Why bother trying to satisfy a number of fans that is restricted to the size of your multi million pound stadium, when there is a whole world of fans that can be accessed virtually.

Ashley would definitely have the club competing in this league if he was given the chance. You’re right he’s fucked that over for himself though.

Absolutely no chance I’d watch a single match, not even if we were in it, glorified show matches when it comes down to it. I’d rather watch us in The National League than effectively kill all other football. I'm dying to watch Liverpool Globetrotters V Real Rich Madrid, but if I miss it, I will just catch the next time they play each other 2 weeks later.

All competition died ages ago because of greed you fucking nasty old whopper of a cunt. Bring it back to a more even keel and get the excitement back. Hope that's a glass of hot piss you rancid bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye remember him talking about it on either one of the Black & White videos or something. Was just seeing that video going around from the 90s where he’s on the TV talking about Newcastle v Barcelona in the Super League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It won’t happen, but I hope never again will the non-‘big 6’ clubs loan players from those clubs. No more Willocks, Loftus-Cheeks, Minamotos, etc to give their players game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won’t happen but maybe it could be met halfway where if a loan player plays a certain percentage of games the club has to make the move permanent.
