Shit on toast! Does that include complimentary canapes?

As long as one of the canapes is NOT shit on toast.

Fuck me, I just read how much the tickets were for last seasons League 1 Play Off Final:

http://www.football-league.co.uk/play-offs/news/20090518/league-1-play-off-final-ticket-information_2246527_1661665

£30 to £84 with half price for concessions for all tickets except the £84 ones. A decent ticket was £50 minimum.

£84 to watch a League 1 match?

I was about to point that out to you. A day out at Wembley doesn't come cheap these days, seeing as the FA have a lot of money to make up. Whilst beign in the play-offs would benefit the club financially, it won't do us fans an aweful lot of good. To go to all three games you'd be looking at a bare minimum of £60 on match tickets, plus a train to London, plus travel to somewhere else (potentially all the way up to Huddersfield) for the semis. That's got to be over £100, for the cheap seats, before you even include beer money etc

I did some more checking and the £84 tickets are the "Club Wembley" ones. Which are the seats for the Wembley season ticket holders, which cost a fortune and include every match played there except for the play off finals. They get offered to the Wembley season ticket holders first, not sure what happens if they don't take them - they have remained empty for some games in the past but I think they've sorted that out now.

On the plus side you do get a padded seat and access to all the really, really expensive bars and restaurants.

But still, £84?

I reckon there would have been a good argument for the FL to tell the FA to stick Wembley where the sun doesn't shine and keep the matches at the Millennium Stadium instead. I'd laugh if the FL could use the Champions League double booking to get out of the contract and switch the venue permanently, failing that they should shaft them for as much money as possible.

Fuck off Preston!

Offer us £8m and youve got a deal but otherwise fuck off

So on the plus side, as well as getting raped for the ticket price, you get the chance to get done over again when you want a drink? Fantastic!

Rubbish story. They've taken a snippet from the Adver which said Cuthbert has been watched and just made it up.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Considering the amount of utter shite that gets printed in the nationals about transfer rumours at any level, much less about our level where the nationals notoriously know fuck all, I think people are getting a bit carried away in treating this as a real possibility.

Calm down, dears, it's just the Mirror

100% correct Mr D.  Too many people, just because they see something in print, think that there has to at least be something in it. 'No smoke without fire' and all that. Well, when we get to Tuesday when the window has closed and Cuthbert, Paynter and JPM are still here, those people will see that there is indeed smoke without fire and that the tabloids just print any old shit they like. They could not give a toss if there is any truth in it or not.

We do not HAVE to sell players right now and Fitton et al want promotion. Selling players will not help that cause and I can reveal that, amazingly enough, Fitton aint stupid. Therefore, no one is going anywhere.

As the man said, calm down dears

Ooooh Ooooh Barny Mcgroo Cuthbert dibble and grub.....my player of the season so far...why go to Preston when hopefully he will fulfill his dream with us......the possible Scotland call up may depend on him playing championship footy though....hears hoping its with us.

Scott Cuthbert is a footballer like any other - he'll go if we accept the offer and they offer to pay him more than we do.

Yes of course he will. If there's actually been an offer and If we accept it and If this isn't just the usual redtop shite to fill a few more inches. I can't believe people are getting their knickers in such a twist about treating this as if it's fact.

[Arriba]

you can bet if there isn't a club about to make an offer,one will come the summer.
a clubs best players will always be wanted by another

[pauld]

Yes, quite probably. But that's a completely different situation isn't it - the point here is that some stringer for the nationals has made up some load of cock based on Ferguson Jr being at the CG (and let's face it, that's why this story has appeared - because stories about Fergie Jr are very saleable atm) and people are treating it as a given that Fitton's packing Cuthbert's bags for him as we speak and bemoaning our lack of ambition/status/whatever on the back of it.

Think we can safely claim our smug points now OST!
