    I work for a good few, and have playfully asked some if they would get involved in a football club.

    Their answer? "Not for a gold pig"

    Can you imagine the answers to the questions "Have you ever been to a country that supports terrorism?" - "Well, I'm flying from the UK to the USA, so that is pretty much a yes then!"

    I tried summat like that in Israel when I was younger and dafter. I think we can say they did not find it amusing...

    Reight. So unless you're a millionaire you can't have an opinion on how the club is run.

    Might as well shut this board now. After Gally has worked so hard of late too. What a shame.

    You buy the right, you're a customer

    As it happens we have a very stable ship and an excellent business plan that working really well.

    Why you so against running. A stable ship

    I'm not a customer. The day football fans become customers is the day the game really is dead.

    I'm not though, am I? If I was I would have taken my custom elsewhere a long time ago.

    Being a customer of a business requires some form of logic as to why you would give them your customer. Being a football supporter (of any club) requires a total absence of logic.

    The day that the supporters of clubs become 'customers' is the day that football really will die.

    A percentage of the attendance of any match will be customers, depending on the level of the clubs playing. The majority will be fans of the clubs playing, but some will be neutral "customers" who are there for the match. The higher up the league you get, the more of these customers there will be

    That's slightly different though isn't it. I go to quite a few games as a neutral. As long as it's warm and the game is entertaining I don't care about the result.

    I'd suggest then that they are not "self-made".

    Are you not a shops customer when you buy a lottery kicked or scratch card? Or customer at a bookies when you place a bet?

    Being a customer doesn't just mean you're buying something that's guaranteed.

    We're all paying customers whichever way you dress it up.

    With around 750,000 millionaires in the country - that's about 1 in 100 people.

    Assuming the averages it would mean there are 120 millionaires at a Barnsley match.

    However given that most millionaires are so because of the value of theirs houses and pension funds - I would say most of the millionaires at a Barnsley match are on the pitch.
