Anyway, all McGnarly has to do is put the price of pies up to £10 (filling £3 extra), tea £5 and programmes £12,50. Fiscal prudence rules OK, Bless Her.

TBbadgerbilly cannot spell "coming" either, Citizen. I think he`s a Leeds "supporter" and we know what they`re like. Hope the FA hit the SA vile Row mob with a big fine and points deduction. A ban on Leeds fans away would also mean we`d never have to see that baying pack of low-lifers in our Fair City again.

Clearly great news but highlights the obscene difference between revenues of the top 2 divisions and the need for us to stay up. This season needs to get started asap.

You beat the that one billy. Relegation will soon wipe out those profits. Just hope we are wrong.

This is all good news, getting the debt down is vital. Not sure what youre on about billy, perhaps you ought to concentrate on your own team's performance. Pity you cant spell pity!
