Do you mean Mick Cullerton?

I had a couple of conversations with him when I saw him at the top of the main stand helping the commentary. Some here won't like his views though as he said the academy was way past its sell by date and all it achieved was playing men against boys and young kids that was OK sometimes but was no good against seasoned Pro's in the lower leagues. That was when we were in L1 if I recall.

Mcgarry as the Sports Editor could do the PL if he wanted or even Port Vale but he chooses CAFC. You could ask him why next time you are at a game? Fans that don't or can't get to the games have no other choice commentary wise unless paying gets you someone else? He does get things wrong especially when he shouts GOAL! when its not and won't ask the really tough questions of the manager but then no commentators do that in any league as they then are banned from doing any interviews. I like him and he is getting on a bit now and so don't know who will replace him as his enthusiasm comes across for listeners which isn't there when others step in sometimes.

I don't want to pay the high gate prices anyway because for what is essentially the bottom league its pretty disgraceful.

A tenner is too much when compared with other forms of entertainment but over 20 quid is taking the preverbials... Even allowing for concession pricing.

Its just me I think but I have never been interested in watching youth football except when I was playing myself at that age. I'm the same with golf and other sports though. Money has ruined the lot, imo!
