And this is another feckin reason why I will not be renewing next season - Sky and the clubs sucking up to their paymasters is now well past just inconvenience. Modern football - fookin shove it .Thats two more football fanatics who have had enough.
Villa - Stoke on March 22nd.That's going to be a huge television audience.

And that's with Stoke not selling their full allocation. Had we been playing Stoke in Rd4 I'd have been stunned to see it top 30,000.

Modern football - fookin shove it .Thats two more football fanatics who have had enough.Trouble is you decide to watch more Everton games and they'll all just be moved for TV aswell, that's the reality for anyone in the premier league nowadays.Why I'm going to more Walsall games home and away nowadays as they are never shifted from 3pm. So get yourself down to Prenton Park for your live football fix.
Deepdale's one of my favourite grounds and they've a good chance of being back in the championship next season so would be a good choice.Might be easier to get the train and then get a bus from the slick modern (irony alert) bus station as that's what I did when I popped up last season for the Walsall game.

Maybe we should try that and get more people to show up to our cup games. It might only be for a round or two anyway
Stourbridge gets more attractive with every passing year.

I couldn't be doing with watching football on a cricket pitch ;-)
