Re: Season tickets next season

This is true. But that doesn’t make it right, or mean we have to accept that BFC has joined this club. There's a lot that's not right. If the players that earn more in a week than most of the supporters do in a year had a bit of community spirit and took a 5% pay cut, we could all go and watch for ...

Re: Season tickets next season

The problem with season tickets, is that they don't actually bring that much in, whilst putting a strain on 10,000 supporters. They bring in less than £5m. That £5m that gets quickly spent in a 30 minute discussion about a transfer, and it's not really needed anymore, it's just greed. Plus matchday...

Re: Season tickets next season

Well yes, that’s what the owners are hoping will happen. That doesn’t make it the right thing to do in an ethical sense does it? They're still amongst the cheapest in the top 2 divisions and you have a choice not to buy one. Plus, if you're big on ethics, you're probably following the wrong sport.

Should Wharton have got a 2nd yellow?
