I'm still puzzled by the 'who we play' business.
I've withdrawn my financial support as football is so overpriced (and I work most weekends).
I'd pay £20 to watch us play Arsenal or Fleetwood.
All the while you have factions/egos/groups you are going to end up with disjointed singing.
Maybe the 'local celebrities' should call a truce and sing the same stuff.
If their egos allow it.
The term PC Brigade is such a lazy term.
What does it mean in this instance? We shouldn't bat an eyelid towards a handful of people singing nasty stuff?
I was talking from a broader point. Tell them that your tournament shall be at a different time of the year within the bid. That bid should not be discounted on the strength of that.
I don't think a climatic hazard should discount a nation from holding a World Cup. What I do object to is that the voting was rigged and an utter farce.
Just change your season for once or twice in a lifetime. No big deal.
