PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I can see it in our fanbase too now mate, it's embarrassing how many happy clappers would throw the legacy fans under a bus for the chance of a big game ticket.

The eye opener for me was realising that Chelsea's season ticket holder age demographic was 59, it's not far off being dead unless they can attract new fans with brighter lights but they'll lose the tribalism and the passion.

"lose the tribalism and the passion"

Nail on the head. The game is becoming more prawn sandwich.
Perhaps this is why we haven't made any plans to attend any home games this season for the first time. We normally book a few games up early then add to them as the season goes on. I think the nightmare of trying to get tickets let alone sat together from last season has dampen our sprite.

I dont get that tribalism feeling anymore and I miss it. Ive said a thousand times we do a 12 hour round trip the least I want is to be next to my lad and surrounded by 100% City fans. If I can't get that I'm not doing the trip up, sadly. When I get to the Etihad I want be be surrounded by City fans. I dont want to see a tourist wearing a spuds shirt going into the club shop buy a City shirt to put over the spuds shirt when City are playing Southampton. I thought then ' what the fuck have i just sat in a car for 7hrs for, this isn't what I want' !
Seeing that has really knocked me wanting to travel to games now

Your last paragraph. Real fans are losing interest, can't afford to go, lack of atmosphere etc its not the same.
I spoke with a few ex season ticket holders of London clubs who dont go any more. All say the same as above. The real died in the wool fans arent wanted at any club.

You say fan base but its only really the dippers, rags and gooners thst are the problem. Most of these vocal twats are on social media, never been to a game. Like that ex copper forest rag fanboy makes fucking millions from it. The truth doesn't make money

The pl is heading to an American franchise, no competition, top 4 play off to be pl champions, games being played abroad, games of four quarters to more adverts in. It's coming as an FOC it wont affect me. Football as we know is slowly but surely being taken from the working class fan.

Our game has been stolen is how I see it. Working mans game, now a commodity sold to people who will pay more money. Makes my blood boil to see how much it has been removed from us, and they specifically dont want us there spoiling their precioous product.

True. It’s the American influence that’s driving it. A couple of weeks ago I watched NY Rangers at madison square garden. The crowd were sat there with trays of food on their knees stuffing their faces and chatting to each other. Virtually no engagement with what was happening on the ice. There was the odd chant of let’s go Rangers but other than that nothing. This will be football in 20 years time.

“Dined out!” In reality, the club has received free media services from me.



As for the substance, firstly, I know more than most people because, as I have said before, I speak to people from multiple angles on the story.

Second, I have been absolutely clear as to the limits of any forecasts.

Third, we are talking about a time line that even Lord Pannick and the parties do not know.

Fourth, unlike some I haven’t made up nonsense about the verdict being received when it hadn’t. On the contrary.

Fifth, much of what people understand about this case comes from my “guesses” which via multiple discussions I know to be generally accurate.

So spare me the feedback. The decision is imminent and it’s been imminent since the Summer. I don’t control when anyone gets it but its imminence is something everyone has been working to without having certainty.

I’ve not had a confirmed update this week so it’s not impossible that the parties now have a decision or a date on which they will get it.

Tbf all he said was that on the day the news is released, it’s likely to be at 10am. Not much misinterpreting to be had there, but either way, it’s hardly a biggie really.

Those emails don’t clearly demonstrate anything of the sort. Fucking clown.

An example being if I emailed someone that I was going to kill someone. Would that get me 25 years just on that and nothing else like an actual body being found.

It’s a concept lost on Magic Hat that the email means fuck all without other evidence.

Anyone who actually believes those emails are conclusive proof of what is contained in them is a fucking idiot, although I expect the **** doesn’t actually believe anything of the kind.
 
One of the most surprising things for me in this thread has been finding out out that ITKs just get their info from forum gossip mainly. If enough people on this forum and Prestige Cars say it then gets spread all over twitter and followers think they're amazing.

Brooklands were the daddies mate. No-one ventured into the ghettos beyond Framingham Road. I once saw a kid deliberately barge into another kid which nearly caused him to stumble. It was horrible. His crime? Putting white pepper, not black, on his foie gras lunchtime snack.

There's a reason the Broomwood and Benchill mobs stayed away from Brooklands.
