Best centre half Stoke ever had allegedly fell for that - all the old bastards rave about him: Tom Finney also selected Neil Franklin for his Dream Team: (Neil Franklin was) the best centre-half I ever played with or against. Just before the 1950 World Cup, he went off to play in Colombia, thinking he was going to make a bit of money, but it didn't work out. When he came back, the FA were furious and clubs wouldn't touch him. He was still good enough to play for England, though. It was very sad.

Och Aye Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Real Madrid president says something has to be done as young people are now not as interested in the game. I know they have come up with reasons for this greed is good idea but that's an interesting comment. Are youngsters turning their backs on football?

I know they have come up with reasons for this greed is good idea but that's an interesting comment. Are youngsters turning their backs on football? If it is true can't see how it would help. My old man took me to Stoke at 6 and caught the buzz due to the crowd more than anything plus most of the kids in my class either supported Stoke or Vale with it predominantly being the w@nks who supported Liverpool or Man U. The bloke on the turnstile used to let me dip under to save my dad a quid or something daft 35 years ago. Now it costs a small fortune to take kids and it's easy just to plump for a team on the tele that wins every week. My wee lass is into her football and might take her to a Scotland/ Scotland Women game but can't see me taking her to watch Dundee Untied because the SPL is absolutely pointless for the diddy teams and that's pretty sad really. Real Madrid playing Chelsea in a full stadium in Mumbai or Miami isn't going to change that either but will probably just compound it.

If kids aren't attending games now they won't attend as adults. We all fall in love with the game as kids, hero worship we had for pretty average players. As you mention prices are ridiculous, we all used to get a lift over the turnstiles. Clubs like mine, Motherwell, should be letting under 16's in free so they catch the bug.

It’s all about them wanting to go when young. My loons season ticket was £36 until he was 12 and is now into 3 figures, but low ones. I don’t mind paying that for him now as the low cost was good when his attention span wasn’t quite there or it was too wild a day/night for his ma to let him out, she didn’t seem to give a fuck if I came home with the cold actually, now that I think about it, gonna need words with her 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Blackheart Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Fans, pundits and politicians are all being played like a fiddle. This whole thing has been scenario planned by the investors behind the scene. The next series of announcements will be about how the clubs have listened to the fans - I can even hear the pundits and reporters starting to say the lines that the clubs’ communications departments want them to say. After the so/called "extraordinary" climb-down will come a compromise and the seeding system in the champions league will rig the competition even more than it currently does. This is about servicing investors’ debt and bailing out Real Madrid in particular. We mere fans* would do well to remember that a lot of these super clubs are coming from a position of insecurity. Call their bluff, don’t appease them even more. *= chances are if you are reading this that you have broadly the same idea of what a fan is as I do. However, most clubs just see them as consumers. Most “fans” of, say, Manchester United using that definition have never even set foot in England, far less Old Trafford. This is about extending marketing reach to the growth markets in the east. When people said years ago that clubs would pay fans to attend matches, we thought they were mad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Graeme Souness on sky talking sense. He believes punishing the clubs involved is wrong, I agree. It's not their fault, it's the greedy fuckin owners and investors who should be punished. This has been in the works for a good while. They only care about £££££££££. The loyal fan, or fans mean nothing to these greedy billionaire parasites.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 All six english clubs have pulled out and offering apologies to the supporters.. what a fuckin joke.. Aye, just move on now like nothin happened. Not that I give a flying fuck about England, but how can these supporters ever trust their owners now !!!!
