Nicked from this week's WSC Howl email:
from Daniel Keane
"I got this from the North West Business Insider email. The only surprise is that Garry Cook hasn't put his name to it."
Manchester City FC have unveiled a new trial design for their platinum level corporate boxes at the City of Manchester Stadium, dubbed the "corporate box of the future". For last night's match against Stoke City, two boxes were cleared to make way for the installation of two, 8ft high by 11ft wide, bespoke sets sponsored by Heineken and Harvey Nichols. The "his" box is inspired by Heineken's "walk in fridge" advertising campaign and is billed as a chill-out zone, housing 350 chilled bottles of beer. The Harvey Nichols box features more than 100 pieces of designer clothes, jewellery, handbags and shoes from Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin.
The club stressed that this is a trial run as it looks to increase the range of "matchday experiences". City's new corporate marketing manager Justice Ellis said: "The objectives were two fold; to create a fans' tribute to the walk-in fridge commercial, while working with two business partners to create the corporate box of the future. We know our customers value a bespoke and unique experience every time they visit. This concept turns the traditional corporate box on its head, showing that anything is possible in creating an experience that excites and engages. We want to show brands that they can do so much more than a standard box set-up. We're prepared to work with them to make every game an event."

What a load of tosh, increase the "matchday experience"? The matchday experience is........Booooooooooooo, get up you twat !.....you @*%! idiot linesman....Oh come on ref he was yards offside !.....goallllllllll...come on brilliant!......oh what the &%*£ were you doing there?, weve thrown it away!......Booooooooooooooo...........Right ,lets go and have a pint. Well thats my idea of a matchday experience, so you can take your walk in box thingy and shove it up your big fat mancunian arse! Booooooooooooo!

Mock it all you want, but look at our commercial revenue compared to Man City's (and others) and you'll see they must be doing something right that we're not!

Justice Ellis sounds like a suitable candidate for assassination also, while you are at it.

He sounds like an 80s TV detective based our old Deadly.

No fucking chance (although on a wet night in December I might think differently).

Why is it that whenever Garry Cook opens his mouth to make a pronouncement on the bright new future over at Eastlands, it makes me want to punch him between the eyes?

Actually this Justice Ellis guy is Dougs son. But you never hear about it because deadly took out a super injunction to hush it up.

Have just taken a tour of the Alianz Arena, Bayern charge for their 166 boxes at a rate between 100,000 and 275,000 euro per year and must be taken out for 5 years. That is in rough mathematics somewhere in the region of 33,200,000 euro per year. That is without the corporate seats which the owner must buy two and for a period of three years at 10,000 euro pe season. (I think they had 2,000 of these seats. They also have a Lansons champagne fountain in the sponsers lounge and if Bayern score they get free champagne.

Ours is just:
*Sing anti-blues songs*
*It's your round, me lord...*
Lose.
*Complain*
*Sing more anti-blues songs*
And I wouldn't change a thing ;) ...except for the losing part, but hopefully Bent can take care of that for us.

If a club like Man Shitty can afford to buy all the good players they will eventually win things and then they can charge silly amounts of money to corporate wankers with more money than sense who want to go glory hunting that's the way of the world not much we can do about it but when we beat them we can royally take the piss out of them.
Rant over - no time to put commas in.
