In fairness to Arsenal fans you can understand their frustration. They pay the highest ticket prices in world football, have the highest matchday income in world football and when they moved stadiums were promised that within a few years they would be competing for the worlds top players.

A few years on their club is going backwards and they literally only sign a top player if no other club wants him.

Yes my heart bleeds for them.
We don't know how lucky we are at Charlton

Didn't say i feel sorry for them, just that i can understand why they're pissed off.

Fair enough

likewise i actually know a couple of decent arsenal fans, follow them everywhere etc and there season ticket prices are ludicrous i don't know how they afford it, aswell as having a few matchday drinks etc, the ticket pricing there is a joke and doesnt need to be that high they get away with it because the emirates is very rarely empty. they've got a 6 year waiting list for season tickets, plus people dont give up there st because they can use the clubs ticket exchange and deduct the cost off next seasons st. so in theory you can just go to the decent games and not bother with any of the shitty ones.

getting sidetracked and sorry for taking off topic.


PLEASE GO DOWN YOU STRIPEY NIGEL BASTARDS

Arsenal's cheapest ST this season is £123 less than last season. Think that six year waiting list has long since disappeared as well.

Ultras my arse
Bunch of Nigel wankers

"Hey Nigel, what are you and Nigel wearing to The Emirates"?

"Thought we'd go in black Nige, no colours, just black. Nigel will carry the cardboard box for Nigel to stand on when he takes his shirt off in the ground"

"Knowing Malcolm, he'll let the side down and wear his brown Parka"

Season ticket prices?

Here are the Rams season ticket prices for ONE ticket, which are average for the NFL. For this you get 8 home games and 2 pre-season games. So this is for 10 games! And they sell 70,000 per year. Who in the world buys these is beyond me.

Why don't they sell tickets at one end? A big screen in the way? Is it like that all NFL stadia?

It's the LA Coliseum that has hosted the Olympics twice, most recently in 1984. That part of that stadium is mostly old and unusable.

It's a temporary home for the Rams while their new purpose built home is being constructed in one of the LA suburbs.

Maybe once the Rams move out Palace can move there whilst Shitehurst is demolished and they'll still claim to be a London club with Brighton as their local derby.

At least all the American branding will fit in with their vision.

Please, my faith in the Gods of football could be vindicated if the Geordies put in a shift!

Crystal Palace have suspended their long-serving academy director, Gary Issott, pending the results of an internal investigation into alleged inappropriate behaviour after suggestions emerged that he had attempted to shower with members of the club’s under-18s team at an away fixture this season.

Palace suspended Issott and informed the Football Association last month after a member of staff overheard two academy players discussing his alleged conduct and alerted the club’s head of safeguarding, Marcus Puddephatt. The initial concerns, passed on immediately to the board of directors, are understood to have centred more on jokes the academy director is supposed to have made in the presence of under-18 players.

No official complaint has been made by any of the academy’s players or their parents and the incident over the showers took place after an away game at Colchester in November where there were no separate facilities on offer for coaching staff. There has been no suggestion or allegation that Issott has ever made physical advances towards any of the players.

In Palace’s investigation their safeguarding officer interviewed all members of their under-18s squad and their parents about the issue, with the FA and Premier League kept fully informed of its progress, as per normal protocol. They hope to conclude their enquiries this week and will then forward their findings to the governing bodies.

“Crystal Palace Football Club has suspended its academy director over a disciplinary matter,” the club said. “No complaints were received from members of the academy or their parents, but the club is carrying out an investigation after receiving information. The findings will be passed to the Football Association, which has imposed an interim suspension while the investigation is under way.”

Palace will provide their own recommendation in terms of possible sanction when the internal investigation ends, with the FA then to determine their own risk assessment before deciding the best course of action.

Issott joined Palace from Tottenham Hotspur and has been instrumental over recent years in a productive academy system, through which Palace have developed talent such as Wilfried Zaha, Victor Moses, Nathaniel Clyne, Ben Watson and Wayne Routledge.

They operate 10 separate age-group teams from under-23s down to under‑9s from a site temporarily housed opposite the club’s senior training ground in Beckenham.

Issott was contacted by the Guardian but did not respond.
