We are doing just what they expect us to do, just like the guard of honour stuff that went on, we just come off looking g petty.

Unfortunately it needs to be tit for tat

I also think Sky should get involved with ticketing allocations for our away games, clubs giving us a small ticket allocation and we end up with three stands half empty, this does nothing to lift the profile of our league.
