Second, you’re probably right about the gate receipts - that’s clearly one of the utterly short term minded main reasons why Milne voted with Timothy - but frankly why would you not support changes like this unless you are perfectly happy for the tedious two horse race to continue forever.
We would still comfortably outstrip most teams on commercial revenues from merchandise, hospitality etc so a competent well run club would still be comfortably one of the best in the land.
The uglies would lose far more than us - and be pulled back much closer to us as a result.
Fuuck me, we might even have the semblance of a competitive league - imagine that.
But no, let’s keep things as they are with 2 teams winning the league every year for 35 years and no chance of anyone else getting close.
It’s great, so why change it.
Milne is a spineless, snivelling ugly sister rimming cuunt & what he did that day means we’ll likely never get close to winning the league ever again - unless change happens.
Unforgivable and shameful what he did that day - and throughout his tenure.
As 57v would say, apart from that I have no strong feelings on the matter...
