Re: End of the 50:50
I'm not going to stoop to your name calling Ty Cobb. I think most people regard OUFC as considerably more than 90 minute entertainment packages. I think you will be very much in the minority with your contrary view. As neither of us knows Eales, neither can claim to know his motives. We each simply...

Re: End of the 50:50
I don't think fans have put in more than Eales so I'm afraid I disagree with you. But then that's probably because I'm not silly enough to think fans paying to attend a match is the same as the money Eales has stuck in. We are millions in debt and trying to save up to buy a stadium. Once the debt h...

Re: End of the 50:50
"If the club is taking in an extra £1200 per match from the draw, that covers a significant element of a player's wages." Well if we can get a good player in as a result wouldn't be too bad would it? We're millions of pounds in debt to Eales, looking to maximize the income we can get from...

Re: End of the 50:50
Er, yes it is profitable, and Eales has confirmed it to be. Nothing to do with debt and assets.Werthers Original wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 5:59 pm It's not really profitable , it's millions in debt and has few assets

Re: End of the 50:50
think that's a bit harsh describing it as 'ripping fans off'. half time draws are about as discretionary a spend as you get for supporters. I agree it's a bit of a shame though. if I recall correctly the 50/50 draw was introduced in our conference days, and while no one wants to be back there, the ...

End of the 50:50
I see the club have effectively announced the end of the 50:50 half time draw, where 50% of receipts go to the club and 50% to the winner. The top prize is now restricted to £750 with a couple of dubious value 2nd and 3rd prizes to try to give the changes more credibility. I wouldn't mind a restrict...

Re: Learn Direct
There needs to be some very careful use of language on this subject. Questioning ethics, linking issues without holding all the relevant information, making assumptions and so on is not sensible. The references made in the article to dividends being paid for example, as if that was a bad thing, rath...
Re: Pompey
Everyone is eulogising at the result, and quite rightly so. First half was very tight. Magic was again a bit ball shy for my liking. I wonder if Hull have spoken to him or his agent before making a cheeky bid. Wes Thomas remains for me the least useful of our striking options, but fair play to him t...

Carabao Cup approach
So should Pep try to create a settled winning side, or change it about for this match?
