Gritty 4-1 defeat. If there is such a thing.

Profiting off, as well as giving to, a football club and its community can coexist.

Inter-city rivalries exist more out here than intra-city. Across all of their major sporting franchises, they're used to one team holding a monopoly on merchandising, tickets etc for specific geographic areas. Expansion has always been done from a financial profitable standpoint, rather than the historic organic growth of football in England. Hence why a "normal" suggestion in the US is incompatible in the UK. And it isn't necessarily a "stupid bloody Americans" [as may have been interpreted by my initial post] - that's just how sporting teams as businesses operate over here. It's probably why a club like Wrexham was seen as a good starting point. Why Birmingham [existing as a club having the name of the city] seemed attractive. It can be found on a map. TL;DR. If you completely disregard 150 years of history, it's a great idea financially. Trouble is, you can't.

Defo Americans making that suggestion.

The only positive from this. Is that we've shown potential new owners exactly how much investment is needed.

TBH I'd be an upgrade on Iorfa.

Best way to play nearly 500 professional games is to never make a tackle, right?

Close down Bannan. Turn our back 3 around by exploiting the space behind the wingbacks. Press Iorfa if we sit deep. No manager needs to watch tape of us for more than 10 minutes to come up with a game plan.

Scoreline shows it and all.

Wow. The crowd cheering that Ugbo was coming off.

Bailey coming on has made a difference too.

See. That I disagree with. I'd never wish injury on another person. End of the day, it's just a game of football.

Amass has been bright. J Lowe and Svante have done well. Bannan tried to keep things ticking over. Valery done well in the middle too. It just gets to the final third and we run out of ideas and / or ability.

Oh wait. Silly me. Thought we were actually going to utilise our first corner of the game.

Cooper to nod this in.

Looks like an NPC.

Harry Amass giving his mascot his warm up jacket. What a nice young man.

But in genuine response. Perhaps with bus services it's a way of better diluting volume of passengers for potential comings-together. Best I can offer as to "why." I suppose the actual question should be "Why have a public transportation system with a route designed to transport folk from a city centre to a football ground, if it's not going to be used at times where people specifically need transportation from a city centre to a football ground?"

Buses don't need to run on tracks.

I'm learning Norwegian [bokmål] at present, for no good reason. Other than to attempt to read Danish articles about our manager without the need for translate, clearly.

Fixed it for you.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly9y030r37o I have to be honest. I love it.

They'll win. We'll sing without words on a screen. They'll stay up this season. We'll do the double over them in two seasons' time.

Reminds me of playing FM and having "favourite" players I'd buy off old clubs when I took new jobs.

Not your typical Blades fan...
