There will only be the one EIHL side in the CHL this year anyway, you might find the side that wins the league carries spares with the extra budget they'll save. Maybe on a trial basis.
Oh usual tired old stuff. He goes on about the rubbish on social media platforms and how delighted he is that he’s still banned on here as he can imagine the drivel on here. Then there’s the usual complaint about a dodgy photo and username and how this gets the backs up of all the players. Four long paragraphs of it.
I stopped buying the program a few years ago because of Simms articles,perhaps a lot more should too.If Tony Smith is left with hundreds of unsold programs,he might do something about him.
We too stopped buying the programme years ago. I'm not fussed about the comments Simms makes about the fans, or anything else for that matter. What does really concern me is the fact Smith must endorse the copy written in an official club programme, or he'd do something about it. The timing of this is interesting too, as it happens at the same time as the ST renewal forms become available.
The crassness of his tweet reminds me of an incident a few years ago. I was sat at Lords during the test match when Broad scored a century in a 332 run partnership with Jonathon Trott. A small group, I think it was three, of Pakistani lads were sat just in front of us. They set up a really long and boring chant of Pak-i-Stan Park-i-Stan. It driving everyone around us mad. Not of course with its content, just its loudness and boring insistence. A bit like that awful drumming in the away block at the arena recently. Eventually they stopped and an old fellow in a blazer behind me just said very quietly and politely ‘come on England’. Everyone around collapsed laughing. The three lads just looked puzzled.
