It's Official I won't be returning.......

For all the reasons Miller states in his first post.

The season hasn't even started nor is it near and already SKY television are intent on disrupting peoples live's working routines, holiday plans etc, etc.

I guess I must be a grumpy old man, now that I'm in that 5o something age bracket ( I've witnessed it first hand) but I can no longer see the logic of having to reorganise everything just to suit a television company. SKY television is the antithesis of everything that football should be about. 3 pm Kick offs on a Saturday afternoon, 7:30 Kick offs on a Wednesday night.

Saturday lunch time KO, Saturday 4 pm Ko, Sunday Lunch time, Sunday tea time, Monday night. Advertising, pre match entertainment, Soccer am, Saturday Soccer, Football Today. It's killing everything is SKY

BRING BACK SHOOT with George Taylor and the BIG MATCH LIVE with Brian Moore (RIP) and Gerald Sinstadt.

I have absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever and the comings and goings have hardly filled me with confidence or inspiration.

Even the fleeting thought I had of buying a season ticket has quickly evaporated with this non revelation, and you can guarantee, with success, even further disruption particularly if they go on a cup run.

Shift work, public sector working and football just don't go together.

Don't get me wrong lads, I want only the best for Sunderland and it's fans, it's just that I'd rather be on the outside looking in than putting myself through the wringer every week and at the mercy of media globalisation called SKY. ( I wonder if BOB Geldof wants to organise a SKYhate concert)

It's known as stress vulnerability.

Enjoy yourselves.

I'm off to Hartlepool to ENJOY some footy without all the trimmings.
