Not sure what your point is atomic? We've not had a realistic option to go full-time for a long time (no mega-rich benefactor). Don't understand where you think "that money" went to? The reserve side we had was built and sustained by fan donations.

Even worse in those days,culminating in a panorama special on their fans in 1976,the year after.

Bloody hell that must of been a eye opener for you as a young lad it makes fev fans look like angels only joking fev fans.

Here she is. You need to lay off the sherry my dear.

Each time a new post pops up on this subject i open it with dread. Surely with the squad we have built we don't need to lower ourselves, again, to the trough that is dr. If we have a raft of injuries and do need a boost, the loan system is always there and that should only be used if the loan is a minimum of four weeks with absolutely no early call back. Team spirit and togetherness cannot be underestimated. I can't wait for the season to start and watch the lads we have assembled turn out in the famous blue and white hoops. Up The Fax!
