The Sporting League: game 19
Bayerns remained at the top of the tree with a hard fought 4-3 win over Delta.
Delta boss: I can start to see the green shoots showing through. I think the supporters will need to give us a few seasons to get the finances sorted and then we’ll be cooking with gas…please believe me.’ Athletico cruised to a 2-1 victory over Tranquilayers without ever really getting out of second gear….Sporting Radio: Pundit A :‘Tranquilayers are in danger of slipping into mid-table mediocrity if they’re not careful. You know, they’ve not won the league since that hazy season of 1995. I know people are frustrated over there at the term of the sleeping giant. I can’t see where their next top six is going to come from, let alone a title. Their top brass seem to be more concerned with opening up health spa’s, coffee shop and twee craft galleries in the Hilti forest than putting the cash into the team’ Pundit B: ‘I think you just say these things for a reaction, I guess it’s what pays the bills to say stuff for the sake of it, but Tranquilayers have got the players. I’d go as far as to say that their current crop of players are superior to the Sporting League winners of 1987 but just don’t have enough leaders.’
** People from across The Sporting League have started a march in Sporting City in protest at the Sporting spending cuts.
The Universo Council predicts more than 400,000 people will join the march, to be policed by 10,000 police.
The UC said it was deploying more than 3,000 stewards to ensure the event remained “family friendly”.
The Sporting federation say the cuts are necessary to fix the public finances and critics must come up with an alternative.
