This is a good figure as i think 530 saturday limits alot of peoples ability to get to games, fridays or even saturdays at 730 are better for me to get to, or any time sunday, saturday before 730 means that people who play sport just cant make it. I would hope this is an average or low figure for the year going on my own experience

I could not attend or the mate i attend with as we both have bowls, so that counts out 2 people plus friends ect 530 saturdays is the worst time possible imo due to cricket ect and bowls for older spectators was not possible for me to get to the game

Has been said but his touch was like nothing we have seen at Heart so far imo......

Josh Kennedy Holman Very optomistic

So is something going on i take it? Australian Marquee? whispers maybe?

Can you blame him when s many in this thread as an example lack basic respect for the bloke and his abilities? I laugh at how many people turn there nose at players who are easily A-league standard, This being an example of such a player who has signed for one of the MLS's bigger clubs. Good luck to him

To extend on this a little bit i google said academy, http://www.cruyfffootball.com/expertise/johan-cruyff/ Sounds pretty exciting if we can do something like this to accelerate the development of our youth system.

My Argentinian housemate never thought much of his clubs when i mentioned this to him when he was in teh news a couple of months back.

Covic was wanted by Postecoglu but they had signed Velaphi too long and coulnt afford another keeper of his billing was my take.

Where do we put these 2 teams, the last expansion (non-sydney and melbourne) went so well, not to mention the fact that CCM and Newcastle and ourselves are constantly linked with financial troubles?

10 teams and 15 odd players total....isnt alot more than 1 for a good team on average

I cannot say if this was true or not, i would hope we spoke to more tbh, but unless we got 3 main targets early then there was no need, and they are just drip feeding us so as to extend exposure over the long off season, which i think is very likely.

Really would go nuts if we signed 2 20-25M players obviously. i think that would take us a long way. Higuian and Fellaini as Rumoured would do the trick, i think we had the second best defence in the PL last year, in goals conceded anyway. just need that DM and clinical finisher which i think Giroud could grow to be but i wouldnt want to take that risk either. Thoughts all the rumours are nice i just hope Arsene isnt i tight ass again like usual, no point buying 4 or so 12M players we dont need 4 players, we have a good squad just need that top end world class talent in the starting 11

Irn Bru is the greatest drink, love it What is the latest with Hearts? funny how the Scots dont fully get behind the SPL, among other things wrong with Scottish football atm. Youth development ect. National Team. Anyway just goes to show how we are pretty lucky atm starting out with 6-7K memberships and growing compared to some lower European leagues. It really has Baffled me how the Glasgow clubs emerged as Giants and yet the Edinborough Clubs seem to get knowhere, i mean 6.5K crowds when Celtic and Rangers grew to selling out a 40K stadium every weekend..... I still believe there is alot of potential in the SPL and overall there model is smart with the 12 teams, and the split after they play each other 3 times or whatever they do, they just need to grow some of the clubs mainly Hibs and Hearts and Aberdeen among others. and then get a better youth system in place. I am by far no expert though just what i take in with a Scottish father and decent interest in the SPL in general Thoughts?

It's called inflation. It happens to nearly everything. Think about the cost of movie tickets over time. Inflation is legalised theft. If you make a dollar, you should be able to spend a dollar. And yes I am aware inflation is a part of life, get used to it etc. etc. So I'm guessing you rejected your last payrise offer? Pay rises help with future earnings, inflation eats away at what has been earned. Sorry, back to the football. They work in relation to each other. You pay more while being paid more. The depreciation of money over time is different, But you earn more and pay more at similar rates i will assume.
