McCoist wants to go at Rangers over unpaid wages. I always liked him, and he's a paragon of righteousness compared to some of the utter pricks employed at that club, but didn't he refuse a pay cut the time they got rid of all their decent players a few years ago? Mad situation at that club.

I can see how it all made sense on whatever level. And had he retained most of those boys for Chelsea then it could actually be called excellent management (almost regardless of whether we might have lost by more than we did) I don't think it could be called a massive fail but it didn't sit comfortably at the time and it doesn't sit comfortably now. Not what the whole thing is about from my perspective.

Just looked and I am 1040 on the STWL. I think that is a higher position than last time I looked. Should I be optimistic about getting offered one in the bigger Main Stand? PS I reckon I am on the list since the end of the 90s sometime.

There already is blood testing in football, no?

Think that is massively unfair.

Another chance for them to prove themselves the useless pricks they are.

One twentieth of what our top paid players will earn in a week though.

Look how thick you can be and still become absolutely loaded, buy a football club etc.

Yeah, it's just thinking out loud from my side really. Perhaps the pricing and local/'traditional' support issues need to be kept separate. The likelihood is the only way prices come down is the great bubble pop, that might never happen anyway.

Didn't someone have a suggestion one time of a certain amount of blocks being only made available on the gate on the day? That strikes me as an effective way to keep tickets generally local. Police might not like it but if you managed the channel via say ATMs like happens in Spain, that could work as a way to tilt the distribution a certain way.

Not sure but if the wish to have 'traditional' / working class / younger fans accommodated is widespread, there is bound to be a way. Maybe it should be an u-25 thing. Maybe it should be a supporter club thing where there is a singing charter, I dunno. A new stand is the time to do it, as the FAI did with the much maligned but inarguably effective 'singing section' at the new Lansdowne Rd.

A loss leader of cheaper seats in the ground that leads to more traditional fans back, with the net gain of a better atmosphere is an attractive value proposition to the marketers at the club, if they are thinking straight. An Anfield with a better consistent atmosphere is a better product to sell to the wealthier segment of the fanbase. There's an equation somewhere that'll shows it makes sense, I'm sure, it just takes them to be willing to consider it.

Interesting. Is it up anywhere?

So they'll be off somewhere else in 2 or 3 years then. Poor little fecker, probably isn't very helpful that where he is going in to training after school at 11 is making the newspapers.

Why is he leaving Barca? A family thing? So they will move to Liverpool now? Seems like not everything is being said.

Stale as he was, wasn't Pepe just a better fit for BR in every way? Hard to understand the rationale behind the signing of Simon. Pepe a leader too.
