    Then Gluey league has a policy which says that "For cup tie takings of greater than X, 25% shall go to the club involved, and the remaining 75% will be divided equally among all the clubs in the league"

    I realise that this (a) needs to be worked on a bit; and (b) presupposes that we're living in some kind of utopia in which people realise that sharing wealth actually benefits everyone in the long run

      Why are the leagues all sponsored by glue brands anyway? What's in it for Big Glue?

      Comment


        Yeah, Evo-Stik is a Bostik brand, so Bostik sponsor all three of the Step 3-4 leagues.

        Often seems there's a 'trade' angle to a lot of the sponsors of lower level competitions, like Vanarama, Johnstone's Paint, LDV, Checkatrade,

            Hahaha, so now the Man United televised run has been broken TV companies are free to put them on TV as much as they can?

              In their efforts to make it difficult for away fans to buy tickets in the home end, the parochial Newport County administration have once again completely stitched up their exiled supporters. Even long-standing trust members (e.g. Me!) have to take time off work and travel to the ground in the hope of getting one solitary match ticket. Plus I should queue with whoever I want to sit by at the game.

                    I’ve been wishing Yeovil would get rid of the hoops they adopted on entering the league for years. When they sort of do it’s for something worse :



                    I wonder what the three stars are for? They’re unlucky to be behind due to some hapless defending from the otherwise excellent Tom James.

                      Nice segments on Jimmy Armfield and Nathan Blake at half time.

                        The three stars apparently celebrate Yeovil's 15 years in the football league, with each star representing five seasons. Which is as rubbish a concept as the deconstructed hoops. I hope they get stuffed.

                          Oof. No love for the underdog then?

                              Both of those pieces choked me up in different ways. The latter for the second time today (as I saw it online earlier), one of the reasons being how emotional Blakey seemed reminiscing about it.

                              I hope Man City hammer the cunts at the weekend, mind.

                                Yeah, that sums up modern marketing idiocy. Come up with a gimmick that tempts fate and ignores history* in one cringing combo - "awesome work going forward concept-wise, team!"

                                (*i.e. the history of rigged re-election, which is why it's 15 not 30)

                                            I'm listening on Radio 5. I think I'd be dying if I was there.

                                                Very much enjoyed that - nice work Newport!

                                                  Cheers chaps. I managed to get to the game, and I’m hoping to engineer a few days work in North London in a week or so [winky]
