Actually, the first three years at the Stoop we did take a % from the bar and the food vans were "ours' to sell to. Only after the 3rd year when Hughes now legendary negotiating skills were in full swing did we give up all of he trimmings that came in the period of 2006-08.....office space, training facilities, use of the Gym etc....
I'll hold back from using the word "lies" in a context that may be taken as directed at the clubs owner, but the reality is that we had a very good financial arrangement at the Stoop which the club destroyed by behaving like a sulking teenager.
Overseas membership will be taken if available and not accompanied by ridiculous postage charges. God knows I lambaste those who blindly follow the idiot owner and his creed, but I still wake up on Monday and the first thing I do is look for our score.
EDIT: £80 overseas membership.............That's NZ $160. A Polo Shirt and a Key Ring for $160? I pay $40 for my Warriors Membership......4 times that for a 2nd tier UK League Club? God Knows how I'll sneak that past the wife.....
