I will pay double face value for a match day FA cup ticket in the Northam. Trains were delayed for Ipswich so couldn't go to that and no season ticket either.
I'm trying not to rise to it. I'm growing weary of some of the strange opinions on here. I might do what Duncan has done and have a break for a bit after the January window.
Otsemebor I feel is necessary for RB. If nothing else for cover because James should not play there. I don't really want James in the team because I don't really think he's very good.
Although of course you could argue that had we not spent the Bale and Walcott money etc then we would have had no chance of promotion and thus would have ended up in the same situation that we found ourselves (albeit over a longer period.) We had to achieve promotion to the prem if we wanted the club to continue because the stadium debt made it unsustainable in the long term.
The Portsmouth situation is very different. They could quite easily have lived within their means and battled every year. Had they stayed up they would have continued to pocket the TV money and been quite comfortable. You could argue that we had little choice whereas Portsmouth certainly did. It's late so apologies if I have not made myself clear but hopefully someone will understand what I'm saying!
Fair post 19. I personally would like Pompey well below us but not out of existence. I think generally there is less charity for Pompey's plight because of their ludicrous financial mismanagement. They are getting what they deserve to be honest whilst we suffered largely due to stadium debt which could easily have been serviced had we kept our premership status.
Incorrect. We did get higher attendances towards the end of last year but people thought (correctly) that any extra finance was basically putting money in the pockets of the administrator. Look at the terrible idea that was that legends match. It was organised on behalf of the fans but everyone knew that it was a terrible idea and a drop in the ocean and thus they were not prepared to waste their money. The situations are completely different.
I've always quite liked him. Think he is solid a lot of the time (though not worth a million obviously.) Much prefer him to James at RB anyway and can't comment about otsemebor.
