I’m at the point where I’m interested in the outcome, but I don’t really care what happens.

At the higher levels, the professional game is completely divorced from reality.

Welcome to the madness.

You’ve got a point, I agree. I do believe that wording could have been better though.

There’s a difference between something being hidden because of the rules and accusing someone of hiding behind the rules. The wording of the statement hardly screams a neutral stance.

I’ve seen payslips for quite a few professional players; players I had heard of. They are well paid, but the mega-money relates to the elite at the the top of the profession. Where do you draw the line to say it’s acceptable for one player to be paid but unacceptable for another? Shaming players diverts attention from the real issue which is the shambolic response of this country to a global disaster.

Maybe it’s more to do with the management and coaching staff at the time being unable to properly motivate players.

Let’s say the season is voided or next season cancelled/reduced..... what about multi-year season tickets?

Just think about the size of the Wednesday mugs we’d have in the club shop. I could drink coffee by the gallon. By the gallon, people!

As per the health thread in dressing room, I’ve had to cancel the bike ride on medical advice. Thank you to all who have donated, including the generous donation from @Kew Owl just now. The Just Giving page is still active if anyone wants to donate. I might pick up with a different challenge if I feel physically up to it. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-scothern6

Set a target last night that I wanted to beat my previous best daily total of 70.11km. I completed 72km this morning. Started at 9am and finished around 11:40am. Had to break it into chunks as the bike seat is pretty uncomfortable (waiting on a replacement saddle). This takes the total overall to just over 990km. Link to JustGiving page below. Remember all funds being raised to help the NHS in Sheffield. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-scothern6

Since the last post I’ve covered another 100km. If I was doing the actual journey from Sheffield I would almost be at Dortmund in Germany. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-scothern6

I follow SWFC. Everything else.... meh

Headline seems to relate to a different article. Saying that, never heard of him.

Updated spreadsheet showing my progress. 712.77km completed in just under two weeks. This means I'm on track to complete the challenge about a week ahead of the deadline as things stand. Link to my Just Giving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-scothern6 Thanks to those Owlstalkers that have already donated. If you haven't yet, please donate or share the page - thanks!
