Hicks giveaway.....
TSC:
Have to smile at the comment;
This fascinating nugget's been unearthed in an internal National Hockey League report on ticket revenues: Your Dallas Stars lead the league in ticket giveaways. Surprising, because Tom Hicks is a notorious cheapskate. And ... not entirely surprising, because the owner likes to see a full house. Which is why his organization doled out the gratis ducats -- "an average of 2,500 a game to help keep its regular-season attendance above 18,000," which seems awful high for even Hicks, given that even at cheap-seat prices that works out to about $52,500 per game or $2,152,500 over the regular season. Then again, this now gives him yet another excuse to cry, "Broke!" And I'll bet a free ticket he takes it.
Had to laugh at the comment re Hicks is recognised as a notorious cheapskate, even in the states.

I'm sure he's crying "broke" when Rafa asks for a transfer kitty.
Or perhaps he's busy discussing how many of our millions he'll allow Rafa to spend with his co-owner.
Or perhaps not.

Haha I do love the way "screw Hicks" seems to be catching on globally!
This man really is a complete cretin!

I remember Berlusconi once saying clubs would pay fans to go the match in the future.
One day maybe.

I can hear Parry saying, 'trust us to do the right thing'.
