So we have sheffield at home in the capital cup. great, a chance to pit witts with higher league opposition.a decent crowd and a good atmosphere hopefully, along with the chance of an upset. a welcome return of an ex latic to boot. is this what we are talking about? no. we are talking about how much money the game will generate us, and how lucky we are financially to get such a big game.
since when did football become so money orientated? everyone does it, us and opposing teams, but its a sad state of affairs. somehow cant see my grandad sat around a table in a pub in the 40's and 50's discussing Latics bank balance. its wrong.
we wouldnt log onto forums to discuss our own bank balances, yet we find latics' so interesting. sooner football gets back to a bygone age the better.
not a dig at anyone in particular, just a rant. rant over!
