Forge FC (Hamilton, Ontario’s new Canadian Premier League team) are giving all members a new home shirt when it’s released.

The cheapest season ticket is also going to cost $199, which at today’s exchange rate is less than £120.

Probably because it's the Canadian Football League.

Well yeah, but even still. Non-league in this country can still cost like £20 a match. For what is basically going to be Canada’s 2nd professional sports league (Canadian Football being the other) it’s still decent. A couple of pizza’s cost me $50 the last time I was over there.

I've got a mate who lives in Moscow and he pays £60 for his Lokomotiv Moscow season ticket - which includes league, cup and Champions League games.

 

Obviously you pay for the quality of the product as such but we get murdered on ticket prices here.

Cheapest Barça season ticket is something like €150 - up top at the away end. A steal since I commonly get those seats and they're serviceable for what you get to watch, plus banter with away fans can be great sometimes. For a little over €1000 you can get pitchside seats.

 

Note that there's something like a 5-year waiting list to get those, so a Barça ST is really hard to get. But they are really cheap given the product. It's one of the most salient advantages of being fan-owned, since if the board raised prices they would get sacked in the next election.

Ronaldo rape case reopened

 

Got the potential to get very acrimonious.  No way it'll lead to a conviction, way too much time has passed and it sounds like Ronaldo is going to fight back rather than try and settle.  Might also turn into another mass trial by social media which never looks good for anyone and usually ends in the twitterati offering everyone out on the internet.  Bad times ahead, especially noting the potential for a backlash against the #metoo movement.

Aye, so now they'll settle for more money instead.

 

Did you read the article/interview with her? Sounds reasonable enough if their side of their story is correct (about the settlements process).

 

A hefty payout is the worst case scenario, for Ronaldo (in terms of the case itself), imo.

They shouldn't be saying anything, but if Ronaldo's people have leaned on them to back him, then back him, don't also attack the validity of the alleged victim's story ffs.

They didn't attack her claim.(If you're referring to the tweets!)

Reportedly Ronaldo left Real because he wasn't happy that Real didn't do enough publicly to back him during/after the tax case which is in stark contrast to Messi/Barca.

 

So no doubt that's what has influenced Juve BUT it's just so stupid

 

He apparently left because Real had money problems and so they decided to cash in on him before his value declines any further.

I think 'The events allegedly dating back to almost 10 years ago' is attacking their validity tbh.

'Allegedly' because obviously it's still unproven and the number of years because there's nothing wrong in implicitly implying that it was not during his time at Juventus.

 

Hardly attacking the woman.

There's nothing factually wrong about what they tweeted because that's how dog whistle statements like that work. Mentioning the amount of years has nothing to do with the allegations and has nothing to do with them. It's dog whistle bollocks for "Why's she waited all these years to come forward?" and therefore attacking the validity of the accusations imo. Absolutely ridiculous that they're weighing in on it at all tbh.
