My question is ; Is it possible to bring Sophie to matches at COMS in her kitten box and can she come in for free?

How the fuck do you put up with it?
Its like a fucking star wars convention up there. Geek paradise. Everytime I shouted, sang, or swore, every fucker in my vacinity was looking at me. Everyone had a posh accent. 2 lads next to me were getting excited about us getting a goal kick. and were buzzing when Given neraly fucked up.
If the only way I could watch City was to sit up there week in week out, I'd turn it down.
Boring, boring, nerds.

Last night and agst Pompey, the majority of the crowd was flat and so that was the same in the 3rd tier

Rugby League? I meant Union with Henry, Charles and Giles Fortesque-Smithe... League is more acceptable.

Don't give me any of that amateur stays shite. That was nailed many years ago. Union players were well known for earning expenses (popped into their shoes in the dressing room).
And the proffessionalism of league put about by the Southern based media was a myth too.
Union was based rounfd the colleges and played mainly by self sufficient toffs.
In the North it was based rounf industry, often pits and players lost wages to feed their families if they played. The Northern Union simply asked to cover their lost wages. The toffs said no.
League wages is a myth too. It was only in the early 90s that Wigan became the 1st fully proffessional league club...that's why they dominated. I know that Salford players all had other jobs and their rugby earnings were next to nothing.
There were plenty of union players who switched codes in their prime. None went back because the RFU banned them from even entering Union club's bars for a pints.
As an historian...you should have dug a bit deeper for your facts mate.

In the early 90s my best friend's dad was a Welsh international. He supplemented his 'expenses' by being a geography teacher. This is the time I'm thinking of, shortly prior to the professionalisation of the game.
