Nice PR stunt

They sold a spot on the team to the highest bidder, he was the highest bidder.

Think how many teenage girls will turn up to watch donny reserves this month. My daughter even says she supports them.

She can't be a "real" fan though!

Maybe she just likes teams that play in hoops.

Mid-week Reserves Football in Doncaster on a freezing cold night, persisting down with rain/sleet, an ice cold gale blowing right through your thin clothing, mud so thick every time you try to run with the ball it gets stuck in the glug - that's a memory that wakes me up at night sometimes - and if those teenage girls go to a game like that they'll soon go off OD.

Reserves football is normally played during the day isn't it? I know Millwall reserves do anyway. Why pay for the floodlights to be on when no one's there?

I could be wrong, but I believe he is relaying his own experiences of that level.

Yes, you could be wrong. I am also using my own experiences of that level.

Most Reserves games back in the Ice Age, when I played, were, as you say, played in the daytime, usually Tuesday or Thursday as mid-week 1st team games were played on Wednesday afternoons as up north it was half-day closing, but where travel was over a certain distance matches were played under flood lights - usually around 6.00 pm Kick-Off.

The lights in those days weren't much kop in the lower divisions so it could be a harrowing experience when the sleet was coming at you horizontally.
