Maybe enlighten us which games you have seen that you are criticising so much? IÂ’m interested.
I’ll indulge you Kitzy. Yes I have and continue to be on a committee so I speak with a bit more experience than most.

SAP and youth fees are the best thing that ever happened to clubs. Before sponsors or debt were king, but Northern handing over the kids licences to clubs changed it all. Yes we still have sponsors and yes those sponsors pay for the big names on the books. But don’t you dare kid yourself that canteens and benefactors are paying for 20 blokes on a retainer. And don’t get me started on those end of year bonuses.

We know you know it all but maybe you don’t know it all. But trust a brother, those fees you pay for your kids to be brilliant are also paying first graders. Don’t be angry thought. Everyone knows but you.
