Ok so I’m an embittered Rovers fan who’s chickens have come home to roost with FFP (pun totally intended)
But how the hell is this fair on every single football club or every football hating taxpayer…
BBC Sport - West Ham: Taxpayers to meet Olympic Stadium running costs
Pre-2012 all us Northern taxpayers were fed the guff of ‘legacy’ arising from spending our hard earned taxes…

It’s ok ‘they’ said…all your money will go towards ‘sport for all’ and a ‘brighter future’ for the Olympians of 2016 and beyond…. ‘the great legacy of the Games would be to lever a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. The population would be fitter, healthier and produce more winners’.….well hey….guess what.. It was total nonsense and hype…

It did however, give an unfair advantage to a football club based in the capital.
The British Raj plundered India and brought it back to the capital, Pizarro plundered the gold of the Aztecs and took it back to his capital, everybody and his brother did it to North America and brought it back to their respective capitals…
And they all tweaked their laws to make it legitimate…
And here we have Boris of London legitimising the raping of Northern taxes by giving an almost free stadium to a mediocre football club….
I want my money back you thieving southern nancies!
