I had a go at Peter many times, always to his face in first instance, sometimes he listened, you always knew when your argument had been won ho sloped off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or does a home gate income need to pay for the 'home teams' corresponding away meeting costs? It did when he said it the home team had to pay some of the visitors point money, I believe it was £25 per point. The rules have changed, I believe the the gate money from a home meeting has to cover the whole of an away meeting as well, it works out the same anyway, bust cuts out the admin side of paying visitors.

When you haven’t got £15 spare (which is the case for many teenagers), there are many more pressing or tempting things to attract your cash. 20 cigarettes to last a week, and a few bus fares, or walk to work all week and not smoke, for 16 minutes of ‘excitement ‘ on a Saturday night?
