How the fook the FA are bust is beyond me. We literally can't run a pissup in the brewery that is the G of B nowadays. we should kick the whole of the FA, and FIFA whilst we are on one out on their collective arses and start from scratch. Then tell the Yank to fook off.

the pension funds of senior FA management first.

Plastic all weather pitches for grass roots football is the official line, but your explanation Seadog is likely to be the reality.

The FA is an industry these days. And acts like one. Assets will be sold, executives will get a bunce, and grass roots can go whistle. Plastic pitches will become an earner for the manufacturers and morph into private businesses like Goals. In other words, pay at the point of delivery.

In a similar vein, the LTA have capitalised on the back of the Olympics. They are building tennis courts all over the country including 4 in Central Park. There is capital funding for the build, but none for maintenance and management. The council are not coming up with the cash either. Ten years on, the country's new courts will be closed under the excuse of not being viable, with many being sold for housing, just as the gus honeybun courts on the Hoe were sold recently. And so it goes on. I used to enjoy a game or two down there at West Hoe. Not many better views from a court, although the wind could play havoc with your ball toss.

Nothing worse Bees than the wind playing havoc with your ball toss.

Didn't realise Hercules Poirot was into football to that extent. What versatility, what a fookin' talent.

Yep, he should be locked up with that moustache. I wouldn't get on a bus he was driving.
