I can only imagine the pressure the players would have felt in that shoot out.

My legs used to go to jelly, when I took the penalties on Sidney Park.

They could have milked this cash cow to death, but instead anyone who has had a season ticket since 2009 can get a season ticket for next season for just £100. Thats a fiver per game


Their chairman is a real fan, he went through agony during the penalty shoot out,

It looked if he was going to have a heart attack,

I am sure Mr Fenty would be the same if we were involved,

BUT

Would he devalue the product ( season ticket )  ?

They've won a record amount of games by a one goal margin apparently. I wouldn't call that lucky though.


Paul Hurst porn that.

I read that any fan who has had a season ticket since 2009 will be able to get one for the Prem season for £100. Great for the fans if true!

They've been promoted drawing 3 play off games! Bet that hasn't happened before.

I think it is a great gesture to loyal fans.

But it just goes to show how unimportant gate money can be in the PL. Most if not all PL clubs could easily afford to reward loyalty like that if they wanted to because it's TV, goodies and endorsements that bring in the cash. The further down the pyramid you go, the less TV cash there is and the more important the paying fan becomes.

But only 6 sides have won the title in 25 years and MU have still won more than 50% of the time. For neutrals that's a big turn off.


Compared to other European countries 6 sides is quite high. There have been quite a few very exciting title races, although I admit the relegation battle is often more interesting. The PL, much as I despised it when it was formed, has been a huge success. Our country is only small It's one of the most watched leagues in any sport in the world.

Nice to see a different team do well, with the same budget as Rotherham as well apparently, which makes it very impressive.


It is nice to see them do well and when we get a new stadium it will make us all believe anything is achievable.

Not sure about the same budget as Rotherham though. More than double the Miller's average home attendance (9k), at 20k, which could easily equate to more than £5m in extra revenue, most of which came in season ticket sales..

Huge success ?  Pretty sure one of the "objectives" or arguments when it was first launched was to assist the England national side become a world force....

As a brand it is succesful no doubt, but has it succeeded in developing talent in the game ?
Look around Europe/ the world...are we exporting players to all the other big European leagues, are English players demanded and renowned for their technical abilities?
Are our coaches headhunted for all the top club and top world coaching jobs?

An awful lot of money has been pushed back into the game i wouldnt doubt that either, pitches have improved, crowd safety has improved, facilities have improved but an awful lot of money has disappeared off these shores as well into foreign players, coaches and agents off shore bank accounts.

For me it hasnt succeeded as the national side has not improved, domestic cup competitions have suffered as a result to a point where arguably the greatest and oldest cup competition in the world sees Non League Lincoln City progress to the quarter finals despite playing Premier League opposition along the way.

Despite the money it is still very difficult to compete in the premier league, so you have admire the Bournemouths, Watfords and Burnleys they did brilliantly well on limited means.
