Brighton footballers charged over match-fixing :-(

[The Wookiee]

Whitehawk FC just mentioned on Radio 4 news!

What the 'awks ?

 

[Nottseagull]

My bad, there's three other threads talking about a different Whitehawk FC further down the page. Carry on...

They are all subsequent to this one, so you can tell your 'bad' (whatever that is) that those three are the fixtures

What the 'awks ?

Yep, they mentioned the club and league that the players came from.

 

[GreersElbow]

How hawkard for the football club...

 

[El Presidente]

I think the OP was using one of these

True, although their titles don't imply it's our own club being investigated. But, whatever, this probably shouldn't come as a surprise, especially following on from the earlier revelation that scammers were fixing Conference matches for ridiculous sums of money. I reckon there'll be further arrests over time.

Indeed. El Pres really needs to merge all of them, with a title that doesn't implicate the Albion.
Did you read about the Billericay v Welling match which had a £1m riding on it in Asia?

Not specific games, but there seems to be a growing market for this sort of thing in Asia. I suppose as the sport grows in popularity across the world, and money speaks louder, more people will take advantage.
