Counting the costs after Bridge bore

ISN’T it a wonder that I have time to write this piece, considering the amount of games going on — it’s ludicrous.

I’m not overly concerned about players being tired — poor souls get paid handsomely for their efforts — but the fans’ bank balances are taking a hammering. Five games in 12 days — is it any wonder more and more are having to pick and choose when to travel?

Results-wise, things have gone our way, but again, the quality of football we are having to watch is absolutely dire. In the pub after the QPR game, we were trying to remember when a tie had been so mind-numbingly dull — and I couldn’t recall one to rival it within the last decade.
