God was still vaguely relevant in the 1830's but in today's multi-religious world, I imagine the reference to God will soon be excised in favour of a more neutral senior deity figure..............

I think my point is that those in the variations of ‘Club England’ - and there is no self interest here - deserve a better deal.
At club level there would be justifiable outrage if, at playoff level for instance, there was no reward for those who had shown support throughout the season. Hence first picks go to season ticket holders and then those who have bought a greater number of tickets etc.
Seems fair in principle to me but that doesn’t extend to FA Cup Finals or apparently Euro Finals.
There is no way that I am justifying the appalling behaviour we saw at Wembley but seeing the so called ‘great and the good’ invited to the most high profile matches while genuine supporters are precluded is a tad nauseating...imo.
That version still refers to God and Heaven. I don't believe either exist so it would still be a meaningless dirge to me
Interesting word choice there GP. I've only ever heard ticket touts referred to as "scalpers" in the US and Canada. Has the term made its merry way across the pond and is now in regular use in good old Blighty?
Boris bless our native land!
May Eton's protecting hand
Still guard our shore:
May peace her power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Britain's rights depend
On war no more.
There we go, Ive democratised it for you although it may now lead to rA not singing it
I've always used the phrase scalper, although that my be due to having spent several formative years in a North American slandg environment. have heard it used quite a bitNot sure if its marched over here completely, but
Im not well again, bloody cold has returned
