I thought there were? Apologies if not but I'd understood that was broadly the figure.

My maths is ropey but I think it means they have in the region of 700,000 in equivalent periods normally so you're looking at around 300,000ish more, of which 40,000 are in the States at a time when there are 30,000 NRL focused Aussies in the states. I think it speaks to the huge success it's been in an Australian visibility sense.

Given there were 30,000+ Aussies in Vegas presumably checking in for match day information from time to time this would not be a surprising figure?

6,500 watching the YouTube stream ...

You could lose the Trophy tomorrow and no one would really notice. The FA Vase is, IMO, the best football tournament we have. Absolutely love it.

Every time I watch, and I watch often, I'm convinced we're not going to win ...

I clicked to four minutes in. The guy is railing against colourblind casting in things that aren't Dr Who. It's probably not that hard to guess the framing for the rest of it.

There's a game?

Why? Are Fev relying on them for this year's salaries?

That's because no one is interested.

What does airbrushing mean in this context?

I said it was a legitimate possibility that not being paid what they believed they were owed could have an impact. The way to avoid that is to sort it out so you don't get chased for moneys owed.

This entire thread is about Fev not paying people. Fev were also not promoted. You can't say Fev tried to buy promotion when they missed out the paying for purchases part. I think it's pretty fair to say that a set-up where people are not getting the money they expect will, eventually, turn into an unsuccessful set up.

It is speculation. Next time pay the players and it won't be an issue.

And yet you don't blame them. They are just fragile victims in a cruel world.

Well, you didn't win promotion because of a spectacular loss of bottle when it counted. Maybe something in the players' minds meant the match didn't have their full focus.

Maybe if they'd paid them they would have been able to buy promotion.

You're not buying promotion if you miss out the part where you pay for services rendered.

Your post was justification for that point of view.

There is one person alive who can claim to have been a silent film star.

Staggering. Clubs stiffs players but, yeah, it's fine. No biggie.

Are you not aware of the 1911 FA Cup winners, Bradford Large Town FC?

Rather like the Toronto players, I don’t have a problem with journalists using their platform to keep the non payment issue to the fore. But there should be some official response by now.

It is baffling because, given the amounts will always be small, it makes it essentially not worth the Championship’s time and effort in obtaining deals if 3/4 of it will be taken from them.

Yes. Apparently so. Baffling.
