  1. Spent the morning with my mum, priority for today. No desire to follow the routine of years since 1974. Won’t be renewing, as handing more control of my diary to the tv companies next season is non negotiable especially for the dross we are watching now. Incidentally, I took a day out yesterday and watched Wolves v Fulham. A mid table prem game, no tippy tappy rubbish. Two teams who wanted to play, a set of fans who were there to watch football rather than eat and drink - with no exodus at halftime or at 80 mins. All very refreshing. Game quality superior to the championship (apart from VAR). At 58, changing allegiance isn’t possible as it’s in your blood. Moving with the times in the name of progress I get, but money, Sky, ‘Pep, the messiah’ and the expectation and acceptance of the millennial generation has generated in general a sterile dull experience, talked up by mercenary pundits who will say anything for a small fee! They’ve told you it’s good, and as a paying football public we continue to believe it. Yet when you reflect, without the rose tinted football glasses on, it’s a business (not just Bristol City) which is just about held together with clever marketing, dubious ownership funding, unethical sponsorship - brainwashing that this is football. Yet pull away Sky the dictator, betting company sponsorships, the need to sell food and drink at extortionate prices, high cost tickets, replica kits made by labour in poor conditions, travel into cities that don’t want cars and local authorities who then want to overcharge you to park and fine you for being 5 minutes late back, because their maximum time doesn’t allow you to watch a football match….the fan (at the bottom of the pecking order) is expected in their millions, to pay hard earned cash to everyone above and feel the experience is worth it! Pyramid selling at its best! Paraphrased - no I’m not going, totally disillusioned with this club, not being ripped off any more! And I can see it’s 40 minutes in…0-0, glad I’m here in my castle being grumpy!
