A doctor I know works in Portsmouth 3 days a week because he likes working with deprived people. True story.

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/alex-oxlade-chamberlain-specials/club-after-summer-transfer-window Arsenal 1-10 Barcelona 25-1! ffs Saints not quoted Is this just guesswork or do they know something we don't - ridiculously short odds for a move to Arsenal. FWIW I think he'll stay with us.

I don't know what the **** you're talking about. If you're trying to complicate the argument to make yourself look less of a prat it's not working. Seems quite simple to me - is Championship football worth 72% more to watch than League One football. I say no. End of.

Eh? Read again and this time remember who got promoted/relegated. But that's what you did - chose the most attractive game in the Championship against the least attractive in League One. All I did was reverse it. Got it? d'oh

Thanks for the support.

Not 72% more expensive (the increase I have been asked to pay) Do you not think a League One match vs Sheffield Utd should be more expensive than a Championship match vs Peterborough? I can play that game too

League 1 = Local Am-Dram Championship = West End Show Er.... no

What a sanctimonious **** you are. I didn't say I didn't have cash, I said I didn't have any income, 2 different things. And who are you to lecture me on what I can spend my money on? I know exactly how much money I have to last me until I become eligible for the meagre state pension and I have budgeted carefully. I have already forgone holidays and had put aside £400 for this season's ticket, surely even you can allow a little pleasure in my life. As it is I have decided not to renew. Is that OK with you? Btw - I know you're waiting for Cortese to build a 75000 super stadium - i would suggest if he carries on with this pricing policy year-on-year by the time it's built it'll have about 10,000 people sitting in it.

That means I have NO income: you try it

Free prescriptions, rail cards, bus passes in most areas. And the vast majority of football clubs - including that lot down the road, and God knows they need the money more than most.

But I'm 60+ and no longer qualify for a concession. That's why we're all complaining ffs. Got it? d'oh

How exactly can I do that then?

You've really done it now! Btw, I completely agree with you.

you know you're not allowed to say that on here - even if it is true.

Joe Hart having a mare. But Fat Frank gets one back from the spot. Just

You're quite right - that is the maximum possible "saving" (sic) for a new season ticket - not a renewal. Actually £221.

Describes me perfectly - I intend to spend the £400 I had put aside on other forms of entertainment such as cinema, concerts etc. I have no intention of being held to ransom - a 72% year-on-year increase in these supposedly austere times is just taking the p1ss. I could afford it - but I won't pay.

£300 (centre - senior) - £515 (centre - full) I'm 61 so no longer qualify for senior ticket. BTW I think that makes us the only club in the country to not give concessions to over 60's.

My ticket's gone up 72% They can stick it

No, but you might decide just to watch Jeff Stelliing and co. on a Saturday afternoon, particularly if the price increase is a bit steep. I really think it's a p1ss poor way to treat your customers.

Press conference due in 2016 then.

It's just not necessary - it's just a fashion, nobody made a sound before Seles. Roger Federer doesn't make a peep - are you suggesting that he doesn't play as hard as anyone else? And as for Maria Sharapova, she sounds like she's been murdered with every shot.

At least they won't be harping on about "The Royals" at every opportunity next season as if they were a local club.

Don't know what you mean about your daughter-in-law - unless you are talking about a so-called "private job" at HCC's in-plant. If so, hope she doesn't get caught.

Why do you think they're "unbeatable on price by a million miles?" Because their capital costs are paid for by council tax payers - you and me. Factor that in and maybe they're not so cheap. Unfair competition which should be illegal.
