A quick note about this month’s When Saturday Comes, which features a piece on ticket prices in lower league football and the economic consequences for both fans and clubs.
I’ve also written a different piece on this issue in the past for The Two Unfortunates.
Will be interested to see what response this provokes, given the further belt-squeezing we’re seeing across the country. Football normally lives in its own little financial bubble. Not sure that will be so viable over this decade.
Yes, the football season it getting very close to the end, for me at least. Exeter travel to Rotherham (technically Sheffield) tomorrow and I’ll be Tweeting and goalpostring as the Grecians chase promotion. Pray that we go up, so I can get back to writing proper stuff on here. Also, it means I might have to go to Gillingham for the playoffs. I like Gillingham’s fans, but the place itself…
Anyway, there’s plenty of footballing stuff I’ve done this week. To whet your appetite for the final day of the Football league tomorrow, I’ve rounded up everything that’s going on at Soccerlens.
I miss doing film reviews somewhat, so I’ve plugged that void with a quick(ish) review of the wonderful LA Confidential Special Edition DVD over at Den of Geek.
And for those of you wondering what on earth I’ve written this week’s Soccerlens column on the answer consists of two words: Luton Town.
When I get the time, I actually quite enjoy writing. Whether you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it, mind, is somewhat more debatable.
MORE: And I’ve done a quick update on the very strange situation at Weymouth over a Soccerlens. I know, I know, two Soccerlens pieces in a week. I’m really spoiling you.
