Dream final with 85k there, a high attendance for an u21 game between Sunderland and Newcastle U21. Thank god for Sunderland.

Thankfully there’s still some sensible ones that can see the competition for the farce that it is.

You're not wrong Mullen but completely irrelevant if as it's rumoured its the first question candidates for Harvey's job are being asked how would you solve the issue of extricating us from the PL deal without it costing us a million pounds a year.

So i.d be pretty sure there will be a few people with a few good ideas but the best bit is its pretty certain that the knobs at the FL have had enough and want to ditch Harveys baby so let him have his swansong today and then boot the whole thing down the road the day after Harveys cleared his desk.

And if you listen to what's being said it looks as if the PL don't think they're getting much for their money and are now said to be considering pimping up their U23 league and playing the games before or after their PL matches.

They love to distort the results to suit themselves..Any regular fan knows this shan of a trophy is tarnished until b teams are taken out

Four English teams in European finals must be due to their participation in the Checkatrade

Need a statto on here to take out the distorted numbers and do a proper reflection.
So at BP what was the average crowd compared to last year?

a 9.2% increase on last year - they should be comparing averages to the last season is was a real competition.
