The Macron Stadium

Tango: "Middle class and upper class, in the main, are usually attained by working harder and better than others." Really? I'd say that, particularly in this country, class barriers are about a bit more than working hard or smart. I've no doubt that getting a bead on or having a brainstorm can increase your income, but surely the class system isn't purely fiscal, or the multimillionaire Liam Gallagher would regard some of the royals as infra dig.

"Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it" - David Lee Roth

I always thought that the very LAST thing that defines "Upper Class" in this country would be "working hard"...

surely - Upper Class in this country is mostly about the family you are born into - "breeding" as they say - and inhertance - it's absolutely NOT about working hard...

what was it the Tory Toffs (recorded in Alan Clark's diaries?) said about heseltine?? though he was stinking rich - they protested that he had no class because he bought his own furniture??

It was Clarke himself that dismissed Heseltine's success (but lack of breeding) with that particular put-down. "The trouble with Michael is that he had to buy all his furniture".

I'm with you on this as it happens, Bish. A mate of mine sold his business off and retired at forty - lives in a hall and drives an Italian sports car. It has no meaning in terms of class - he's still from Oldhams Estate.

I take your point D.S.B, but it's an arguable one: I want to contest it but here isn't the place. I'll open a thread on Banter. Gird you loins...

Years since I've had time to go there, TD - too busy working hard - but enjoy the debate mate

Have you seen that they're flogging off the dugout chairs, by the way? I love to get one and convert it into an office chair but it all looks to be getting a little pricey.

(insert joke about management)

[bobo the clown]

I think the fact that they are "Doug-Out" chairs is quite enough.

Bought one of these last night, and picked up today ... most of them were in decent condition. Very snug though ... Big Sam must have had one custom-made.

Saw that they were drawing over £400 and as much as I'd have liked to it just seemed a bit OTT, especially as after converting it to a an office chair would've possibly doubled that. Your comment re them being a bit snug has consoled me though, Jonny. Expensive bullet dodged perhaps.

Now that we have the Macron, what happens to the Reebok rebels? Macron Mingers?

They're up for auction I believe.

[Bruno3]

Maybe you get one free with each dugout chair?

Just been up to The Bok to sort out the seating arrangements for this coming season. By the blithering crin. In the ESL what they've done to take out the Reebok sign and incorporate Macron's logo isn't to buy new seats, but to shufty about the existing seats instead. As such, seat numbers are currently all over the shop. I do hope that they rectify this before our first home game as there's going to be all sorts of rumpuses going on otherwise.

So a big shout of "all run round" and see where you land then ?

I'll know mine ... it has a label off a Greenhalgh's "Potato & Meat" (sic) Pie stuck on it.

Ah, I wondered what the filling was...

[jaffka]

The away kit remains a mystery, nothing on the club shop site.

Rumoured to be red.

[CrazyHorse]

I'm not really a fan of football shirts that're red.

[Vertigo]

Hope not, but who knows. Macron have turned out some lovely kits this year so I'm looking forward to it.

[Prufrock]

I dunno, it helps the booing come more easily.

Maybe we should wear our away shirts at home then...
