In defence… of the Birthplace of Football
written by Christian Wach
If you watch the games, don’t watch the adverts
As an aside to our trip, but of significant consequence to it, I’d like to mention the Football Fan’s Union and their campaign to ‘Can the Commercials‘. It seems that as many as 30 English football clubs face ruin because the Football League are owed UKP178.5million by ITV Digital. So if you watch the Opening Ceremony in England, don’t watch the adverts, but do go to the site and register your support. Simple as that.

Right on! If I was in England I would certainly boycott the ads – being a fan of football and especially the mighty Leyton Orient, this is a worthwhile cause.

Keep an eye on their website… they have some amusing stunts planned for the near future.
