54,000 x £30 equals = £1,620,000surely a couple of league cup home games wont matter to our finances will they?
Add in the shop, beer and pies and we are losing £2m per away tie.
Times that by 5 or 6 a year and it all adds up.

11 away in a row. Amazing eh.
It is amazing I agree but that in itself does not prove its fixed and in all honesty we look better away from home at the minute. In all honesty nobody really knows but we have had quite a few easy draws prior to this run. Who did we play to win it in 2014 for example?

I remember people saying 6 in a row was just a coincidence, now it's up to 11 it's over 2000/1.
Notice how we are very often out first tie as well.

11 games away including fa cups yes of course they will. Let's be conservative and say a million a game. That pays a player for a year. Or top up a targets wage by that much, it could be The difference of him coming or not. They know this so hamstring us.surely a couple of league cup home games wont matter to our finances will they?

Thought you only had horse and carts up at your neck of the woods !!Great draw. Two trams stops from mine means I'll be back home in time for a curry.

We haven't drawn a team from a division lower than the Championship, in any domestic competition, in over 6 years.
I know you've been saying the same thing every time this comes up, but honestly, how many more years of City coincidentally getting unlucky draws before even you start to wonder if there's something else going on?

Which other club has had 11 in a row away from home. Simple question?

Trams? Down there? Jeez, I didn't think they had improved on what the Romans left!
