They'll be partnering with a free to view broadcaster.  Still means a lot of games will behind a pay wall again.

 

Money wins again....

What goes through people's heads? Do these people never stop and think 'you know, maybe this isn't a great idea'.

Absolutely no way the Premier League should be letting this through like.

Hector Bellerin at Real Betis: Championing sustainability and tackling social issues - BBC Sport

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68286028

 

Good read this on what Betis are doing for sustainability etc.  Football is the most green washing sport as they come imo.

When you think the chronicle couldn’t possibly get any worse it somehow manages too. Literally unreadable, with all the adds and pop ups. Reading a sentence, then it redirects me to another part of the article. 
 

A completely unsustainable business model. They might aswell just admit they’re finished.

But then who would be telling you about the 5 things you missed after every fucking match

[Rafalove]

Last six minutes or so are well worth a listen regarding Sir Bobby and then also R9

Is it? Genuine question. Is it more green-washing in a particular way, or is it just that football is the biggest sport?

I always thought he’d end up managing us at some point.  It won’t happen now like - and hopefully one of the reasons why is Howe is successful

Eric Cantona taking himself far too seriously on the mikky mac show. I'm hoping its a sketch.

[Stifler]

The American major networks are merging their sports channels together into 1 streaming package.

 

Meanwhile here in the U.K., we can’t see a 3pm KO, The FA are selling the FA Cup rights to TNT Sports, taking it off free to air TV, and Sky pay the Scottish league less than what the Dutch league get.

That was soooo painful to watch. Then I remembered 1995-96, particularly our home game, and I smiled through the remainder.

Been thinking about my favourite Newcastle XI:

 

                      Given

 

        Albert  Woodgate  Schar

      

                       Tiote

Solano Guimaraes Joelinton Robert

 

                   HBA

                            Shearer

I'm 50 next year and my son is 21, as part of our celebrations we fancy going to Valencia for a few days and taking in a game, does anyone know how hard is it to get tickets to a match ?

So long as its not against Barca or Real Madrid it should be fairly easy, think they have a membership but that's for discounts/perks rather than a barrier to buying a ticket at all.

 

From memory I think they also do packages where you get the stadium/museum tour plus ticket if you want to do the whole "tourist experience" thing on top of going to the match.

Was a few years ago that I went but was a piece of piss. Just bought them off the official website. Had a look there and still seems like you can. Given they’re pretty average these imagine it’d only be a problem if they’re playing Real or Barca (and prices for those will be inflated too). Ground is pretty central, 20 min walk or a couple of stops on the Metro from the centre. We were in the massive steep one on the side, was class albeit a tad warm to spend sat in the sun.
 

If they’re not at home, Levante are also based in the city and Villarreal is an hour or so on the local rattler up the coast. 
 

It’s a lush city. Make sure to go to Gordon 10 steakhouse as well, as good as I’ve ever had.

The tour is good, great old school stadium.

Cheers, we did the stadium tour a few year ago and loved it, especially the Rafa part of the museum and we always said we'd love to spend more time in the city and do a game.
