The Football.....

All are locked, shutdown at least at Stamford Bridge.

I think the fans would be happy if they were open/available and all proceeds went to an appropriate charity in Ukraine.

Maybe too many legal complications to do the latter.

i can only guess that by doing what they are, the government are showing other clubs what would happen if they get into bed with dubious characters/regimes in the future ( not withstanding current clubs already in bed with such regimes/characters)...........

The fit and proper test is keenly applied in the case of lunatic Italian tax dodgers.

@vickster ........ what is your prediction for tonight ?
3 weeks ago I would have been confident but we have not been at our best lately whereas Arsenal have been on a run.
Sticking my neck out.....2 nil to LFC.

 

[vickster]

I’ll tell you soon after 10

Thought you were braver than that

I'm not a soothsayer though (and I'm out later anyhow so may not see it all).
Clearly I want Arsenal to win however!!

Hopefully you’d bet your life savings on your prediction

That's a pretty impressive stat. Chelsea are 3rd with 264, Man Utd in 4th have 256.

What we're seeing here is quite obviously a new peak of football played in England. When even a draw is to be regarded as a calamity by the finest proponents of the game in our island's history, that's the new highest of high standard to be attained. It's a bar few will get near but for the neutral, this is the greatest period in football you have ever seen. For anyone associated with either of the top two, it's a fairytale ride that no writer of fiction would dare dream.

Could be worse, we have Billy Bowie Special Projects Stadium Rugby Park.

Which is a bit of a mouthful, and BBSP literally haul sh!te around the place...

Correct it was an outrgae, but an outrage i was awilling to pay for my 40th birthday. my partner bought the tickets for what she thought was £250 for two, only to find out it was for 1, so i then had to go back on the site she bought it from and explain the situation and they said no problem we can get another ticket for you, but its now an extra £400…..we bought so called premium tickets as advertised, but when they arrive the two tickets were season tickets for two chinese fans. But they were defo not premium seats. So i rang the site and informed them i wasnt happy with the tickets they sent me. I then received a call from a scouser within 15mins saying as i wasnt happy, he would supply 2 new ticketd and we could swap them on game day. I travelled upto liverpool on the morning of the game and met teh scouser in a derilict pub car park and swapped the two tickets there and then. He then said, heres my number next time come direct to me………we then drove to the malmaison, booked in, called a taxi and set off for anfield a few hours later.

But i bet i could give you 100 guesses and i bet you wouldnt get who the tickets came from???

I give up. The ghost of Bill Shankly? I'd want something pretty special if I was going to spend £650 on two tickets for a game of football.

I don't think I've ever spent more than £30, and those were for finals. Granted the level of football isn't even remotely comparable, but I'd not be a happy bunny if I was a supported of a 'big' club in a league swimming with money.

I do wonder what will happen to Newcastle's ticket prices. They've always been reasonable too, but I suspect that may change given the new owners, although I hope not.

I give up.

the two tickets i received were from Liverpool Player at the time Martin Skrtel.........

I liked him. No-nonsense sort of defender. Looked like a proper hard f*cker too, wouldn't fancy my chances in a dark alley...

Surprised to see that he's still going, fair play.
