Good idea it will be the 1970s again under labour .... oh wait😩


I thought you were against globalisation? What RRFC is talking about is a facet of globalisation. What Golfer is proposing is a brake on globalisation.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub



But things won't change unless the money dries up. Most PL teams don't care if there are no spectators in the ground, gate money makes up a small proportion of income in the PL especially to the top clubs. So a boycott wouldn't bother a club financially. The owners have no stake in the community anyway. Look what has happened to Blackburn over the past 3 seasons. They pay lip service to the fans but they only need them to come to the ground to buy the crap sold by their franchise and the big income comes from TV.


I'm not so sure about this. Tottenham and Chelsea are spending a fortune on a new stadium to increase gate (executive box) revenue.

A boycott would also piss off TV companies as a load of empty seats makes their 'product' look crap.

No chance of it happenning though, the theatre of wet dreams will always have a queue of Malaysians/Thais/Martians wanting to get in.

After the boycott, the next stage is fan organised games and fan owned clubs (there's a growing number of these). Ultimately if football returns to its roots and people are enjoying it and giving the money-game the cold shoulder, does it matter if Old Travesty is full of foreigners watching and playing, with foreign billionaires owning the whole shebang? Let em. They'll get bored sooner or later because it'll mean nothing and move on to something else.

He is out of contract now but Utd offered to pay him about £13 million while he recovered from his injury,

He turned it down,

So Utd have money to throw away and he has enough money he does not need any more,

Crazy world.

He's just made the rich list and you need over 100 million to get in.

In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Proud to say I've never even heard of him.
