    When I say garbage, I mean the product itself, the football quality.

    The championship is still a good watch as it's generally at 3 o clock on a Saturday and there's no ****ing VAR.

    The football itself though, not so good!

    Good banter overall the Everton fans, sound when you visit the city in truth. They know they're **** and take it on the chin well for the large part.

    I wouldn't want Everton to go into admin personally

    When pro football should be played.

    And only at that time.

    Spot on with that.

    It’s entertaining but lacks quality. It’s why promoted sides struggle in the PL so much. The gap between the leagues is huge and only getting bigger.

    think you're fine on that one as it was just a FFP work around and was reported as an option to bid for the rights and anyway by then you won't own the ground :bandit:

    In fairness none of the newly promoted clubs were relegated last year.

    The biggest issue seems to be how the parachute payments make teams bounce straight back though really. I thought the idea behind them was to stop clubs being penalised for trying to have a go of things in the Premiership so it should help cover some losses for relegated teams to stave off financial strife. It should not be a kitty for gambling on promotion though and when you have teams selling off players for huge chunks and also getting the payments it's a joke. Obviously Newcastle benefitted hugely from them when we went down but surely it's fairer if we simply have to sell off more of our players to make ends meet.

    All 3rd round FA cup games and the cup final as a minimum.

    There will always be some midweek games at 7-45pm but apart from that agreed

    Football is now only for plastic fans watching on a big screen but nothing matches being at the game

    Starting to think translating to an armchair fan is a good use of time and resource to be honest. Been like this since lockdown football started.

    Parachute payments are a fooking scandal, it disadvantages any club that has never been in the Prem.

    I've no problem with clubs down at my level if they are living off their massive fan base, but giving them money for failure is insulting.

    Ifollow has been a godsend for me. Sadly going to all home games and a selection of away games each season for me is now something of the past. I still try to get to games if circumstances allow, sadly that's not as often as I would like. I think Ifollow comes to an end next season, if it does and not replaced with a suitable alternative then that will affect fans like me.

    There will be lots of fans who due to a change in circumstances cannot attend all home games or none at all and the clubs (as Watford do) should provide a way for fans to see their team play

    I am referring to the now third generation pf fans who do not support their local teams but claim to support one of the big clubs but only ever see them play on Sky Sports

    I have been watching my team for 55 years and been a season ticket holder for 40 years and as long as I can get to the ground I will continue to do so, if and when I cant I will probably just listen to the radio and watch the highlights
