  1. I think you hit the nail on the head there, as much as I dont rate Dowie he was never going to last long under the new regime, he was on a hiding to nothing.

     

    But the new regime gave him the job in the first place.......

  2. Hang on, I thought the general consensus was that the falling attendances were nothing to do with Lowe? People on here reckon there are only a handful that aren't going because of Rupert, so how does it warrant a major story in the Echo?

  3. A response from my friend when I mentioned the England match...

     

    'england played tonight????'

     

    Was a big mistake by the FA to move the right saway from the BBC. When will people learn the BBC is just the best and that we are lucky to have it rather than just moaning about it.

     

    I don't think the BBC have had the rights to England away games for ages have they? They've been on Sky for years. BBC used to get the highlights, but those are on ITV now so no big change there.

  4. They only overtook you because we pushed them over the line. They were awful and there was a real risk of us winning by an o.g. or some other fluke. In the second half our defence stopped tackling them and they still couldn't score. Matt Taylor threw himself on the ball rolling it around between his arms whilst looking at the ref but he just wouldn't blow. In the end Linvoy had to turn his back on Horsfield so he could score. You may be right about Redknapp but crediting Robson with overtaking you is...well...I'm speachless

     

    You could have beaten them 25-0 and we'd still have gone down. You 'letting' West Brom win relegated Crystal Palace, not us.

  5.  

    Following on, can you buy just the unit without speakers then? Ive searched but cant find anything.

     

    There are a couple on Richer Sounds, but I think they were about £250 when I looked earlier. If you don't want so many speakers, there are some decent 2.1 systems about nowadays.

  6. Percentage attendance figures mean precisely naff all.

     

    Just to illustrate this fact to the mathematically retarded, Barcelona's is 57.9%.

     

    I'm pretty sure that Barcelona fiddle their attendance figures somehow. I went to a game there a couple of years ago and it was pretty much full, but the official attendance was about 30k below capacity.

  7. One thing I would dispute regarding David Luker's numbers, is the assumption that revenue only consists of the ticket price. Is he seriously saying that getting more people at matches does not lead to increased food, drink, and megastore sales? I'm sure they must have done the research, and I guess the sums didn't add up, but he's portraying things in too simplistic a manner.
