cmonstanley · 07-02-2008, 21:32

not content with ripping supporters off in this country,they are going to start playing matches abroad and try and rip off foreigners.then put premiership matches on box office on sky to rip off even more people pure greed i say.............................p.s. boycott all premiership matches and go to grass roots football i.e. accy stanley..

you are spot on mate, its just more moneygrabbing from the mingers that run the premier, doubt if it will happen soon, if it does it may just be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Thy will not be satisfied until they have killed football in this country, I still know lads who watch the Rovers home and away every week come hail rain or shine, taking games overseas is betraying regular supporters, as for boycotting the premier league cashy, it will never happen, you can't tell people who have supported say the Rovers, to suddenly say sod of Im going to watch Accy Stanley, just as much as telling a Stanley supporter to go nd watch Gt Harwood instead

Wonder where this idea came from.

Remember they brought the NFL over in October - american football is played mainly in america - but our football is played all over the world so why take 'our' premiership matches abroad. Could you imagine it West Ham v Derby in Austrailia - how many of their supporters are in that country? If it was Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea ok - they will have 'fans' who have heard of them - but lower down that division no way.

Dont agree with it.

Just think its another stupid idea of creating more matches at the expense of supporters

Is this the answer to fergie and wengers grumbling about the tiring amount of football played in the premiership? Even though the lower leagues play as many games if not more, with a smaller squad! Greed, greed and more greed, sounds like Texas doesn't it, well you might know where the idea came from, the same place as gun crime, drugs, gang warfare etc...the Useless of A..
