Yep I saw that and felt revolted by the thought of it as well.

And what about that Hippity Hop the kids are listening to now? It's just not music.

Hip hop is over forty years old. There are people in advanced middle age who grew up listening to it.
It’s still shit though.

And what about those Omsung Phines they've all got nowadays? Bloody kids!
Would it better if they'd said "AITC win award"?

Whilst I don't like the whole commercialisation of the game I love, I do like what it brings. Safer game to watch (the 'firns' of the 80s and fighting on the terraces are long gone), a better quality pitch (the mud baths of the 70s are history), the ability to watch the away games on TV (not all but a fair few as I can only do home games), the quality of the players we get in the PL are amongst the best (if not the best) players in the world.
I do hate the volume of money involved in football nowadays (Connolly at 19 probably earns more a week than I do a year) and it's attendant 'industry' that's followed the money like a rat up a drainpipe. But give me those downsides any day and twice on Sundays rather than going back to the 'good old days'.

AITC works in some of the most economically and health deprived coastal communities in the UK, making a genuine and lasting difference to the lives of tens of thousands of local people every year.
I'm proud of the club for the work they do with many many disabled people. Yes, it takes money, but that is business. Even charities are classed as businesses.

The game has gone if decent folk like the op are up in arms about this.
They are going to nationalise sausages as well, you know.

Did I say I was "up in arms"? I just think it's a shame that the game I love is now being referred to as an "industry".

Ah, so goldstone is longing for the days when the Albion failed to deliver the goods...?

You do realise that the award was for AITC and not BHAFC?

Heard a story this morning about a radio presenter who was (properly) in the first class section on a train and was required to move to allow the Liverpool squad to take over the carriage. A long way from the days when the players used to get the bus alongside supporters to get to a match. #jumpersforgoalposts

I do think that life has moved on generally though. Whilst it is great to look back with rose tinted specs I doubt if people today would accept the standards that football gave 50 years ago.

If you’re talking about decrepit stadiums then our next away game will be a nice trip down memory lane.
