What you mean is that because there was no media coverage of Lincoln's financial trouble, you wouldn't like there to be similar coverage for any other clubs, particularly those big clubs like Man United and Liverpool - to whom you are not bitter at all with, of course. Certainly United going bankrupt is a foreseeable situation - but the problems that the fans have are not at all limited to that. It is about being overpriced out of going to watch your football team to finance some businessman's massive debts, or forcibly funding the servicing of his debts simply by going to support your club, instead of paying to actually sustain your club. In fact, many fans actively wish for bankruptcy, because they believe it is the only way the community can actually take the club back into their own hands. As for Match of the Day, they proactively silenced the crowds protests so it is not a matter of them portraying events as they actually are. @madmickyf - When you say 'you've made your bed' do you mean to say 'you've made your success'? Because United didn't make their success with Murdoch's millions, they made it with a genial manager and some rather special players. They certainly were not the sole beneficiaries of the 'Sky revolution', and you've lost your marbles if you think United bought their success. The fact is they went from being in no debt whatsoever to being in over £700 million due to a businessman's greed and lax regulations on part of the FA. The fans don't want a pity party, but they are fairly aggrieved and certainly have a right to that. The BBC shouldn't be censoring that, at the very least. - Tannhauser Fri, 22 Jan 2010 02:53:15 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/4398/38/#pc_1405 I'm with you Lincoln, these Premier League fans expect everyone to be concerned about the likes of the Glazers running their clubs into the ground but how many of them would know or care if Lincoln or Chester or Stockport went bust? You've made your bed with the help of Murdoch's millions, now go and lay in it! - madmickyf Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:02:07 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/4398/38/#pc_1402 "You won't have seen any of this on Saturday evening of course. On Match of the Day, a show seemingly produced and presented by people who think Marouane Fellaini doing "a Maradona" is more important" fancy a football highlights show showing football highlights. As a Lincoln fan I am showing as much interest in Man Utd and their 'plight' as they showed in my club's when we were actually in danger of going bust. That is not me being bitter but I want to just watch some ruddy football, not listen to some bore prattling on about how much some loans cost and that these Glazers aren't very nice. There are plenty of shows where we can cover the boring drivel of poor old Man Utd and Liverpool for that matter, but Match of the Day is not the place for it. - Lincoln Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:43:06 +0100
