If wanting to be able to have an NHS dentist as was the case when I was a kid makes me woke, if wanting an education system that is accessible and affordable for people from a working class background makes me woke, if wanting an NHS that offers universal care for those sick and dying makes me...

We appear to have a massive administrative pain in the arse for the club, what can be a massive pain in the arse for fans having to take photo ID and arrive early at stadiums will testify in respect of a club that doesn’t sell out all of its away allocations., and a policy that results in more...
Given that the club does not take up the full allocation of away tickets for some fixtures (and I fully understand why they don't givent that they have to pay for them) then it seems inconsistent with the claim that fans are harvesting points.

Not quite, if Rishi Sunak invades Wales to divert attention from an awful domestic and international performance and TB then writes off the debt owed by the club to him as he flounces to another country it would boost the Albion’s standing in the FG Index.

For a £60 sale price
VAT is 20% = £10 so net price is £50
Retailer takes 40% of net = £20
Licence fee to club is 10% of net = £5
Manufacturer 30% of net = £15
Distribution 4% of net = £2
Marketing 6% of net = £3
Leaving production cost 10% = £5
Looking at the financial sustainability scores, Manchester City and Chelsea are the two biggest loss making clubs in Premier League history, Manchester United have paid £900m interest on £700m of borrowings and West Ham are subsidised by the taxpayer paying £3m a year rent on a £700m...
