History for Mainland FC

Well, "f*ck me with a pitchfork", as we say back home. Isn't this just a perfect First World problem?  

So, if I get it correctly: we don't want to pay more than $10 for a ticket to the game and caviar and champagne-on-tap should be included in the price. And, we do not want to pay for a SKY Sport subscription to watch our club if we live away from Welly, even if FFA complains that they don't get much from SKY. In fact, we would probably prefer to just watch it for free, on a TV or laptop screen with a sixpack from Countdown.  

What gives? Sorry for ranting but we are a perfect example of the Comfortably Numb from the old Pink Floyd song. If you can't be arsed to support your club, the broadcadster should not be obliged to support via donation to FFA either.

My suggestion would be to link the access to game broadcast (say Lightbox, SKY, whatever) to club membership. Say that it should be limited to those who bought the $50 no-ticket annual membership. The broadcaster may then have a low price package without all the extra crap.

Isn't this just a perfect First World problem?  So, we don't want to pay more than $10 for a ticket to the game and caviar and champagne-on-tap should be included in the price. We will not pay for a SKY subscription, even if FFA complains that they don't get much from SKY. We would prefer to pay just a few bob, or preferably just watch it for free, on a TV or laptop screen with a sixpack from Countdown.  What gives? "Going to the game is just too hard".
