my favourite bits from the Ipswich finance report thing...

The debt to Norwich Union may never be repaid if we stay in the Championship, but the interest repayments will continue to be paid and are currently ?1.5m per year.

...wonder how NU feel about this. And does this mean they'll be paying ?1.5m forever.

and, best of all....

34. How does the club justify the 300% mark-up on the Lidl brand lager served in the North Stand at the pre-season friendlies? Lidl price: ?4.59 for six, ITFC price: ?2.70 a bottle.

35. Lidl lager - you can take the p!ss, but you shouldn't sell it! Seriously, you can sell a branded lager at an inflated price, because people are used to paying such prices in pubs & clubs, but stooping to a supermarket brand - AND THEN still charging a premium price - was a shabby move. You should be encouraging people to drink at the ground!

Carlsberg had to withdraw their product due to a problem with exploding bottles. They were replaced with a Lidl sub-branded product that was actually Holsten Pils.

.....hahaha.... Lidl lager! Things really are bad arn't they.
