The Football.....

I've been reading about Utd increasing match day minimum ticket prices to £66. Now I'm sure season ticket holders pay less. This does seem an outrageous price though. Here is a quote from Jim Ratcliffe, the Monaco Manc, on the subject:
"I’m very cognisant that we have to look after the community because it’s the community’s team, but equally I want to optimise the revenue from people who can afford it,”
Fleece the rich seems to be the message.

And bugger the poor.

Do you get a discount for your ticket with that, or is it extra?

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Yes. Basically all one has to do is manage at Old Trafford for a season, get sacked and financially he is secure for life.

A fool and someone else's money are soon parted......Sir Jim

Sounds like any Premier club.Soon as the inks dry on your contract you're on a win win.

Yep. No disputing this.

MNF ... anyone know why Sky need an hour and a half build up? Nearly there anyway. At least it finishes before tomorrow.

Yes it's stupid having Neville and Carragher waffling on for that time.
Actually i was at the game last night and although I'll take the three points especially after we got lucky we some of the decisions(Var) the game itself won't go down as one to remember.

Five on the bounce. Fifth + a game in hand. We have to avoid our too frequent spring collapse and then maybe the Blues are Going up???

Last night marked the 700th consecutive game in which a player from Rovers academy played in a league match for the club. Quite a record and a testament to the quality of our academy set up.

The BBC say 900 consecutive games when we've had an academy player available to play. I'm not sure that's correct.

FIFA award World Cup to Saudi Arabia.
Yet another sports washing issue.

But my biggest problem is it will almost certainly mean another winter World Cup.

I was reading yesterday that one of the stadiums is going to be in a city that hasn't even been built yet. It's absolutely insane.

Unfortunately, they didn't actually have much choice, since no other country actually applied to hold it.

Yes.

Yes.

FIFA totally manufactured that lack of choice though. It's straight out of the Blatter playbook of corruption. And rating it as the best bid ever is an absolute joke.

I see City have lost again. I'm starting to enjoy this. Sunday's Manchester derby will be interesting. It has to be the best chance Utd have had of getting at City in years.

They did pretty well in the FA Cup final earlier this year.
