Anyone who has ever downloaded or taped an album without paying, or watched a film via a dubious website is guilty of exactly the same piracy as they/we are complaining about.
Intellectual property theft doesn't feel like theft until you're the victim. That may be uncomfortable for many, doesn't alter the fact is that it is true.
Bottom line. If 200 people do this for the season at a cost of roughly £60k to the club.. I don't want to hear one of them complain we didn't sign a striker or we can't afford to sack Flynn.
We get what we pay for.
A tape recording of the top 40 will never sound as good as the vinyl.
And the team funded by illegal streaming will not be as good either.
I pay for my music piracy sins with an increase in gig ticket prices. Will we accept the same in football at our level for match tickets.
Mrs E at least will be grateful you're not feeling me.
