This is the most interesting bit
"Even at Norwich we have to pay high wages to our players, and fans inevitably have to be charged according to that level of inflation. We have one more year left of 'parachute payments' to soften our fall from the Premiership to the Championship, but if those run out we will have to look at savings, all around the stadium. There is incredible support here ? 676 turned out for a [League Cup] night match at Torquay last month, returning at 4am ? but I'm not sure how long that type of patience can last if there isn't the money, or good football to watch. Being relegated has an enormous effect on everybody involved in a football club, making it very difficult to clamber back to your feet."
I don't like the 'even at Norwich' - is that yet more reference to 'little ol' Narrwich'???
What does savings all around the stadium mean? Increased ticket prices, or just goodbye to Hucks, Earnie, Croft, Safri?
