Tony Fernandes is, according to our QPR “Who are You?” candidate whose interview will appear today or tomorrow, a good guy.
Then the Rangers chairman and majority stakeholder needs to sort out the less good guys around him if they, and not him, are responsible for the pricing policy that led to Sunderland fans being asked to stump up £45 for what the London and Southern England branch of the SAFC Supporters’ Association called “the worst away accommodation in the Premier League”.
Tickets can now be bought for the last two away games – but be prepared to pass by the mortgage broker on your way to paying for the West Ham United match on Sunday May 22.
The appalling rip-off merchants who have charge of West Ham have decided that Sunderland supporters should be mugged for £46 apiece for the dubious honour of a seat at Upton Park/Boleyn/pre-Olympic Plaza.
By contrast, the ticket part of the trip to Bolton on May 7 would knock you back only £20 or £28.
Instead of merely fulminating to no great effect about Sullivan and Gold, or Sullivan’s Gold, some SAFC supporters are already talking of voting their feet, that is by putting their feet nowhere near West Ham on what should otherwise be – for us – a carefree final day of an eventful but unmenacing season.
