Yeah I don't like them as a club at all Spartak but the Gate was always a good crack as a visiting fan, which won't happen next season now. Are you a gashead by any chance?

And, on another note entirely, will you be TTing with the Clevedon again come the time?


Sorry, but have enjoyed their plight this season ^_^ although did enjoy visiting the Gate a couple of years ago as Norwich totally outplayed them & won 3 -0, even with David James in goal !!!

Yes I hope to ride the Clevedon TT a couple of times this year ( rode my club evening 10 this evening, lovely weather although a little breezy ) ........ when do Clevedon start ?

Er, mid May usually. I'll message you with the date nearer the time and be glad to put a face to the name. There was a lot of family stuff going on for me the last time you mentioned turning up, so if I was there I just rode and then went home if that makes sense. We often go to The Bridge in Yatton for a beer or two so lights aboard if you can - leave them in Brian's car - and join us for a beer afterwards. There's loads of riders from other clubs who come out for club runs with the CDRC too - we normally have 50+ riders any given Sunday, often more. Feel free to join us...

What a day for Bayern, not just the result but Gotze as well!

Got to fancy them for the treble now. I can see them winning multiple Champions League titles over the course of the next few years.

A hard call on the Gomes goal but in light of the footage, more than justifiable.

He looks offside to me, any part of the head, body or feet takes him offside.

Yes, this has been building for a few years now, they are going to have big financial advantage over the soon-to-be also rans like Man U.

Above is the pricing of season tickets for next season at the European Champions elect, Bayern Munich. A quick translation gave us the following facts: if you are prepared to stand, or want to stand, it can be as little as 120 euros. The cheapest seating season tickets are 300 euros while prices for children are 150 euros (120 for standing enclosure). Disabled fans can have season tickets for 80 euros. As I understand it, a season ticket in this context means 17 home league games and all European home games. Any domestic cup competition is not included.

Now I don't know what the prices are for all English clubs but I do know what they are for my club because I have my renewals form in front of me. Let's compare, shall we? Our season tickets entitle us to 19 home league games only. Any other game is not included, which I suspect will be the case with all Premier League sides. The cheapest season ticket for next season, in the corners of the Kop where no-one likes to sit, will be £710 with no child reductions. For my seats, the renewal will be £815. From six seats to my right, the bulk of that stand and the one opposite will cost £850 and again, in all those cases, there are no child reductions. Disabled/visually impaired fans' tickets are between £535 and £675. For a mere £50 admin. fee, you can take out a finance option. So, cheapest season ticket at Bayern Munich 120 euro V cheapest season ticket at Anfield £710. Most expensive season ticket at Bayern Munich 650 euro V most expensive season ticket at Anfield £850. Bit of a difference there, isn't there?

Cheaper than a ticket for Stockport County in the FIFTH tier of English football!

Bayern have been working on commercial income, attracting & establishing large, long term income streams, rather than relying on match day income, for a while now. They can afford to ensure the ticket cost is "affordable", good. Many PL teams will generate far more in match day income than Bayern, from daft fans who think £40-100 is a price worth paying to watch a football match...........

The "big" UK clubs are taking the mick, smaller clubs who are mainly SKY funded and who don't have large match day income are, paradoxically, far cheaper to actually go and watch. In recent seasons I've taken advantage of Wigan, Bolton & Blackburn offers to watch games at less than L2 prices.

http://www.fcbayern.telekom.de/en/news/news/2012/38173.php It's sickening to know just how much our clubs are fleecing their 'loyal' (gullible) fans for and still teetering on the brink of financial disaster despite the unbelievable amounts of money from TV and other revenue sources yet Bayern Munich are able to file their 20th consecutive year operating at a financial profit.

Really enjoyed seeing barca getting stuffed. I was getting fed up with all the experts blabbing on about them being the best side ever. How come they never won back to back European Cups?

Best team I've ever seen in my life and by some distance too, but teams come and go....
