I was going to say something similar. With the stadium expansion, needing money for new signings, they could actually make an argument for the extra funds. A flimsy one but they could actually point to new signings to show where the money is going. We can't.Quote:

You could, and would, argue anything if it paints the club you 'support' in a bad light.Quote:

Literally last season we won (retained, actually) the FA Cup and finished 3rd. This season, despite some wobbles, we're very much involved in the title race, we're likely to get to the FA Cup Qtr Finals so we've got a chance there.
The level of whining on here is massively out of proportion with the situation.
IMO.
I agree with that, but that doesn't change the fact that you take every opportunity to have a dig at the club you claim to support, sometimes making things up in order to do so. It is strange behaviour.Quote:

Additionally, given how competitive the league is, no one really wants to reduce any advantage they have over others unnecessarily which is why I think most are reluctant to be the first to pass on the new TV money as savings in ticket prices. Nope, it really has to be an entire league wide rule to make things fair - e.g. set a maximum price for non corporate/executive season ticket prices.
