Advantages: "but yes of course - it is true"

Disadvantages: Seaman's ponytail

Watching England play an away game on tv these days is a bizzare experience.

You would have thought that the fans would fervently support the opposition, the coverage would be beamed by a dodgy satellite, and that you would never have heard of the opposing players.

But not these days. I think that there's every chance most of the opposing players will come from the Premiership, the locals will know as much about the England side as their own players, the match will be beamed by Sky or another well known tv channel, and you are continually bombarded by English multi national companies advertising on the advert hordings around the edge of the pitch.

This brings me on to the subject of Rainham Steel. It may have passed the notice of some of you, but this company has been hogging the advert hordings at England matches for a few seasons now. The question is...

WHY!

What on earth has football got to do with steel? Well according to their rather nasty website Rainham Steel...
"was formed in April 1973, and over the last 27 years has become the UK's foremost independent Steel Stockholder and Distributor, specialising in Special Grade Universal Beams, Universal Columns, Channels and Angles"

Yes, and your point is lads? Why are you lobbing adverts all over the world following England? Surely its time to leave it to the multi nationals such as Guinness, Sky and such like. Please go back to just making a bit of metal.

Oh yes by the way, I think Sven is shaping up quite a decent England side. "yes, of course, it is true" so he says....

Go for it Sven.
