Rocky Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Any kind of club raffle or charity competition thing is normally inclusive of hospitality at any Prem club courtesy of Scudamore.You can here a Bristol twang when he's being interviewed.

Geoff65 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Interesting fact. Richard Scudamore (Premier league chief) , is a lifelong Bristol City fan, and was once quoted as saying he would rather City get promoted to the prem than England win the world cup.He said that in the last month or so - He was doing an interview with the BBC (I think) and was defending the premiership and how the lack of English players in the premiership wasn't the clubs' fault that the England team was/is doing rubbish - he highlighted that clubs and supporters demand the best for the club and not the England side. To highlight this he commented he would prefer promotion to the premiership, any promotion ahead of England winning the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Think it was on a Saturday morning on FiveLive, the same morning that Justin Lee Collins was on. Eamonn Holmes made some patronising comment along the lines of "Bristol city fans are like buses. You don't see one for ages then two come along at once." I don't think Richard Scudamore said he would rather City get promoted than England win the World Cup, more like than England win a particular match. He still came over as a more committed fan than Mr Collins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Shocking that is, money grabbing swine.Got to ask you Mesa, have your lot started to put nicknames, rather than surnames, on your players' shirts? Only it looks to me that the name on your goalkeeper's shirt, in the photograph on your sig, reads: "P-R-I-C-" and I'm guessing there's probably a "K" on the end?
