Crying Shame

[snlk/poksnbn]

Really sad to see an old rival going to ruin when there is so much wealth at the top table.

The way the modern game is funded today makes me vomit.

Completely agree the agreed of the top team especially those players earning hundreds of thousand per week is disgraceful when a fraction of their weekly wages could pay debts of many of the smaller traditional struggling clubs in the lower leagues. But I guess this is just the way of the world in an unstoppable march of commercialisation and globalisation. Hopefully Hereford will find a way to survive and return at some point in the future

remember going there on a winters night in 1976ish we got beat 4 - 1 and the ground was packed to the rafters, we beat them in the return game 2 - 0 at ninian park in front of a crowd of over 39,000 which at the time was a record for the old 3rd division. Always enjoyed our games against the bulls and i hope they can get it together. I do feel sorry for their grass roots supporters it must be gutting for them.

Funnily enough, when Ridsdale had just left Cardiff after Tan had booted him out, I had to stop in Edgar Street (the street not the ground) to see someone on my way up to Leominster for a meeting.

I was just down from the ground and saw Pistol Pete getting out of a car. I was on the opposite side of the road and watched him and another guy walk up to the ground and go in. I remember thinking then, aye aye, this must be his next stop because they were looking for a new guy at the helm at the time.

Don't think he ever got involved because from memory I think he went to Preston, but I wonder if he had done, would he have blagged his way out of this one?
