If you was planning to quote this part and make some snide / attempted funny remark about it then I have saved you the effort :D
I weren’t[/quote]
I think you may have done, had I not quoted it. Griff doesn’t miss a chance when it is put up on a plate like that ;)
23 September 2010 at 5:37 pm #47217Ok chaps, time out, time out.
Let’s have a bit of a competition then.
Describe and discuss the social and economic decline of British football since 1990, and the effects of the Lord Justice Taylor Report on Football as a spectator sport.
In no more than 350 words.
I await with interest the results of this experiment.

Regarding ‘The Justice Taylor Report’, it’s simple. Post Hillsborough, they said that football grounds should be all seated. Thus they stopped being football grounds as such, and became stadiums. What was once a male domain, became a family thing, and the clubs took full advantage, realising that they could charge higher prices. This took the game away from the ‘working mans game’ image, and made it a middle class thing. Add the glossy crispness of the Sky effect, and the fact that they turned a sport into a ‘product’, we are left with what today is esssentially a day out for the middle classes.

I would think so. He don’t say a lot, but when he does…23 September 2010 at 8:17 pm #47227Griff you do not know me. I definately have the talent and would have the audience I can guarantee you this. The point is I also have the time, but do not want to waste it writing an article that will make people stop reading half way through. In fact if I wrote one people wouldn’t stop reading half way through as I would keep it interesting, which perhaps, means that I have more talent than this guy :DJames, for what it’s worth , I stopped reading your post half way through.
Hope this helps. :D
23 September 2010 at 11:31 pm #47244Was it Jimmy who wrote that article? TBF James (from this board – don’t get confused), t’was a very good piece of writing what probably summed up what the majority (might be pushing it a bit) are thinking and would write if they had the time or talent to do so.
Hat is doffed in appreciation.

yawn…. A supporter moaning about supporters moaning. Its great when all these flakey supporters are turning up but they are the worst people in the world when they don’t?
Very poor article.
I’ve had a season ticket since 98′ but now that I’m fed up with Whelans lack of spending and blind support of Martinez’s poor tactics am I all of a sudden not a “real” fan?

Look forward to reading your scintillating piece, in response.
I don’t think he actually name-checked you rto be fair, but hey, if the cap fits and all that.
Bravo, on the season ticket longevity, by the way.

Never once claimed to be able to write. But seeing as your pointing the finger to a few people in this thread Griff lets see your master pieces?

once again this thread has gone totally off the rails –
griff,
from an outsider looking in, it looks awfully like you manipulated the skirmish with james down this path – only to trump him with revelations of your former literary prowess – call me cynical if you like,but the thing is i knew it was coming.24 September 2010 at 1:43 am #47258Never once claimed to be able to write.

Prompt taken, and Lulu order confirmed.
I now have two small ones, but it’s never too late to be a virgin parent.
It better be funny Griff after all this wait…

Is there not a second Griff ‘novel’ out there somewhere, or have I dreamt that?
