Get the Bank of England governor to have a word with the profiteers who are putting their prices up to rip fans off.

All these financial people and politicians are just big bags of wind.

As for the FA and TV companies, words fail me.

I watched a couple of programmes last week, Panorama and Tonight about the lack of wealth, financial disparity and the rip off that’s occurring in the UK.

Apparently if wages had continued to rise at the 2008 level the average working household would have 11k more income in 2023. Even during this difficult climate we’re way down in earnings (compared to most of Europe).

However, we still rank as one of the World’s richest countries with some incredibly wealthy individual’s but as you say the green light for the great British rip off is on go, go, go as Murray Walker used to say.

Worrying times, somethings drastic needs to happen.

Update. The police want it on the Saturday at 12.30. The TV want it at 5.30.
The FA have therefore decided to play the first half at 12.30 and the second half at 5.30. That way everyone is happy.

Sort of happened to us a few years ago. On a golf weekend and they cocked the Monday booking up so instead of a 9:30 start for 18 holes we played 9 at 9:30 and 9 at 2:30. The compensation was a free meal in the middle of our wait with drinks thrown in. The drink took it’s toll, can only be described as pissed up golf.

Since our game has to be on Saturday it makes zero sense to delay the announcement unless they're in negotiation to play it at 3pm?

LMFAO - 3pm on a Saturday, oh dear you are a one.
More chance of both games being played Sunday imo :)

3:30 last year v the Dippers on a Saturday , not too fanciful

If Martin Samuels isn’t all over this, direct action is the only answer.

City and Sheff U fans should agree to delay the kick off for the first and second halves with a series of tennis ball protests.

It will fuck up the tv schedule world wide, gain global exposure and publicity and expose the FA for their incompetence & ineptitude.

Radical, direct action is required otherwise NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE !!

We throw tennis balls get ten years bans
Dippers throw anything it gets forgotten about. CTID

I know this is a piss take, but could be some truth in it. To keep City and Mun fans apart a 12.30pm kick off makes perfect sense. It makes it less likely City fans will stay over on the Saturday, with early even early check-in hotel options only starting at 12pm. Less pissed up dickheads at the game too, so a better experience all round.

Probably won't be going if it's a 12.30 kick off. I don't like to drink as soon as I'm up and off out.

After careful consideration the FA have decided to do away with both semifinals and and do what they have been doing for years and give it to the scum,and taking all things that City are guilty of have suspended City for five years,thus enabling the Old Trafford ground to be demolished and rebuilt and allow scum to play all their fixtures at the City ground,and City will play in the Northern Conference League when they restart.The FA Committee think this is by far the best result for their Club,and an unanimous decision was made as their tea was getting cold.
