Kind of hit home when Crawley brought on a striker they'd paid £300,000 for.
Yeah, of course its jealousy, but its bad for football, it creates a false economy. Can a team who pull in a mere 900-odd for home games really afford 300K transfer fees let alone whatever wages? Financial doping they call it. Tbh, if an oil rich sheikh took over and started throwing millions around with Reading I'd be rather worried about the sustainability of it all. I bet that the Cambridge supporter would be similarly minded if someone invested big in his club. Can you not see that bigger picture?No Fixed Abode wrote:and yet he wouldn't mind if Cambridge had loads of money........it's only jealousy.
His biggest worry at the moment is that if Cambridge don't start winning games (they've got 1 pt from the last eight games apparently), they will get relegated, and then there's no way they will attract the crowds to pay the rent on the Abbey Stadium, which isn't owned by the club any more.No Fixed Abode wrote:and yet he wouldn't mind if Cambridge had loads of money........it's only jealousy.Skyline wrote:Bloke I work with is a Cambridge Utd fan and absolutely hates Crawley Town.

Doubtful. As Crawley is in West Sussex, most of them are probably Manure "supporters" anyway...PlasticRoyale wrote:Are you suggesting that the 9000 that went up to old Trafford are not regular attendee's
