"Norwich City's rivals rely on wealthy benefactors to negate the big attendances at Carrow
Road."
For f**k's sake, no wonder Archant want to get rid of a few folk.
Now, I know I'm in no position to hold forth upon another's command of the written word, glass houses and stones etc and so so, but who exactly decided that was a good opening gambit for a piece in the local press? And, moreover, which c**tsack approved it?
"Hmmm," says the Rival Club, "big attendances down at Carrow Road, the lucky f**kers. How are we going to negate that? Must seek out some weathy benefactor." No. Obviously.
I know what the chap means, is that Norridge have the financial advantage of comparatively high gate receipts, where other clubs don't, and that those other clubs compete by having wealthy benefactors, but he's got a f**king poor way of presenting it.
Michael Bailey: Socks. Pull them up, boy.
