Anyone know when pre season training is supposed to start? A week before we go to Spain?

The book "The Damned United" was mediocre but I could never really get into David Peace novels, they always seemed rather dense.

World Cup starts tomorrow but more importantly two weeks tomorrow the fixture list is released.

Time to see who gets to come to Chelsea Red Records stadium first.
Really is Bob. If I’d read up on it first I’d never have watched it.

Even with that interview the film shows Clough being surprised that Revie was there for that interview but in truth he was well aware that Revie would be there. In fact that’s one of the gentler fabrications.
Bremner was suspended for 11 games for a brawl with Keegan (?) in the Charity Shield

Stuart- I infer that he feels bad about withdrawing because he's such a genuine fan.

And plenty of volunteers being treated shoddily too as I’m sure you’re aware. Too much shouting down at this club and not enough open conversation.

And not a single piece of accountability. Not a single one.
And as for a long term sponsor being treated crappy, thats the same as some fans have along our journey by being priced out of coming.

Its just that a sponsor has decided to go public and I am still not sure what they want to achieve by that?
Oh. We enjoyed The Damned United too. The fabrication bit passed us by!

Hope you're going somewhere nice for fun and not work.
No personal dig taken Trigger. I just think its easy to look from the outside and critique - its what we are all good at and I HEAVILY include me with that.

As mentioned before it’s not the first time PS have dropped out. Just as PS have the right to do what’s right for thier business, so does the club
True, Donial, and you wouldn't think it would suit the sponsors either.

Overnight flight Pads :) Watched The Damned United and enjoyed it. Then, as I always do for non-fiction movies, I looked it up afterwards. Complete fabrication from start to finish and the author of the book and the producers of the movie have been sued multiple times by people involved. Clough’s family refused invites to the premier as they had already stated that the book was a work of fiction - something wholly admitted by the author and producers.

Absolute waste of of everybody’s time. They even changed match results from the actual results. Why bother?
There’s also the question that if the club think/know they can get a more lucrative sponsor than PSR who are willing to bastardise their brand (or have a coincidentally white and blue branding already) then there is still no reason to piss off a long standing sponsor and see money taken off the table. You offer the next best sponsorship available where the sponsor can keep what they consider to be valuable to them via the new deal.

Wonder if the club will say anything today or do the usual of only telling the clique and expecting everyone else to accept that the clique says it’s PSR’s fault they’re the bad people here but we can’t tell you any detail and we can’t tell you why we can’t tell you either.
Trig at 3:38 (?!!) - substitute 'country' for 'club' and it still works, sadly.

I do find the strict white and blue policy bizarre if I'm honest. Why would we want a monochromatic stadium.

Also, looking at Kingsmeadow, the advertising hoardings for companies like Barclays etc are in their brand colours.
As much as I personally dislike it football is more a business than a sport these days. In order to succeed we need to generate as much revenue as we can regardless of how we are owned. This is why I do not care whether our branding is blue and white or blue and yellow. If we get more money from using blue and white then it is illogical not to do so. It would also be hypocritical for people to moan about this at the same time as demanding we sell out for a better chance of success. There would be a genuine question is whether the money difference is substantive enough to make it worthwhile. It would also be interesting to see how the lounge access prices compares to similar clubs - are we high, low or average.

I do think some are only up in arms about it as it gives them a chance to have a pop at the DT Board. It is simple - do we get more money with blue and white branding and it is worthwhile?
All the keeping quiet would be fine if we had an owner who took responsibility for the club (after charging the supporters as much as they can get away with). That is the cost of being bank rolled. Whilst we claim to be fan owned, the fans need to be kept in the loop and told why there is a policy of colour branding in the stadium and how the policy benefits us.

RK - some of our commercial offers were well under priced, and there had been no increase in 15 years or more.

hospitality is very near sold out every home match. Sutton United charge more than we do for certain things.
What we're seeing now is the Club under Woodroof, under tough financial pressure, is this sort of deal where long-standing fans are sacrificed for better financial deals. IIRC it was last year that the blue & yellow club were told that to gain pre-match lounge access, they had to up their payments from £1000 to £3600.

Didn't Paul Strank have a hissy fit with the club before (post the move from Kingsmeadow I think?). Pulled all sponsorship etc but then returned.
