Go to echo all this... I'm totally neutral about this GFH lot, rumours of funds not being there, the delays, the statement against the Trust etc.... in August I would have been excited. Was going to take my son to the first post Bates game, now I can't be bothered to do that.
Also don't seem to care about care about football in general, didn't turn Sky Sports back on until Friday for the Sheff Weds game and I only did that because of Sky's half price offer and only watched Barca Celtic since.
