Couldn't agree more. If some people would only open their northern basis eyes they may just realise that it is not stupid to try something that may pay dividends in the future.

The Millwall locals are not the target, it's my understanding that the aim isn't attracting new fans, it's purely to try and drum up new corporate interest. IMO it has potential, I hope it works in the club's favour.

Yeah, I know. He meant the locals not being interested actually being a good thing....

This may be a daft question...
But if we do get loads of new sponsor money, what will we do with it?

More youth coaches
Bigger/better scouting network
Invest in Central Park
Invest in Orrell training ground
Transfer fees

Or, as some around here would like to think, IL will pocket it because he never does anything for this club.

Well, with whatever's left after we've bought our own stadium...

Can't believe anyone would ask the question what would we do with more money.

I despair some days at some of our fans but also some of the people who live in the town as well.

There's just a general inability to try new things or see the bigger picture.

I wasn't going to bother going to London two weeks in a row (and the train strike made getting home on Saturday a bit of a nightmare), but paradoxically the cricket score (one for you Aussie fans there...) by Leeds has made me more inclined to go; I'd like to see a good competitive game, and poor as Catalans have been on the road, with Carney back (?) and all to play for, I'm sure they'll give us a good game.

We've been just as bad as Catalan away from home. I'm just hoping we'll give them a good game seeing as it's also an away game for us.

On the point of shortsightedness, I actually think it's something that northerners have bred into them. A lot of people I know generally never leave the area they're born in their whole life (unless it's to go to a game vs. London Broncos...) and it goes back generations. I recently mentioned Leigh (can't remember why) to a guy at work who is from the East coast and his only impression of it was "if you're born in Leigh, you die in Leigh".

It's not just Northerners. I took some lads, thirty-something, from my local to Wembley to see the Kangaroos in 1990, and I remember at least one of them had never been to London in his life before. Never been out of Wiltshire.

In many ways it's the British mentality and goes up and down the country. Holidays abroad to the same place every year, finding an English pub etc etc.
