Travel with the patrons
THE Huddersfield Town Patrons Association are running a coach service to the Terriers’ next Premier League away match at Molineux.
Town take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Black Country on Sunday, November 25, with kick scheduled for 4pm.
The patrons have organised coaches to take fans from the John Smith’s Stadium to the home of Wolves and back on the day, with a carvery dinner included in the £23 fee.
For those wishing to catch the coach, which is available to patrons and non-patrons, departs from the gym entrance of Town’s ground at 10.15 on the Sunday morning.
The patrons will also be organising travel to and from both Newcastle United’s St James’ Park and Anfield, the home of Liverpool, for Town’s Premier League away matches in the new year.
Both trips will cost £20, including a carvery. CHRISTOPHER Schindler made his 100th Huddersfield Town appearance in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United last week.
The Terriers’ centre-back joined Town on June 29, 2016 for a then club-record fee of £1.8m.
Since then, the 28-year-old has enjoyed a hugely successful stint in West Yorkshire, helping David Wagner’s side achieve promotion to the Premier League via the Championship RICHARD Scudamore is understood to be surprised and embarrassed by a plan to give him a £5m send-off when he stands down as Premier League executive chairman next month.
The idea emerged on Tuesday, shortly before the league called an emergency general meeting to announce Scudamore’s replacement as chief executive, television executive Susanna Dinnage.
But, instead of talking about the appointment of a talented British woman to one of sport’s biggest jobs, the league has found itself having to defend an idea they had been unaware of until it was reported by the Daily Mail.
Dinnage was chosen after a recruitment process led by the league’s nominations committee, which is chaired by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, who also chairs the league’s audit and remuneration committee.
It is understood that Buck believes Scudamore deserves a farewell bonus after 20 years of negotiating the league’s inflation-busting broadcast deals and he has informally suggested that each club contribute £250,000 to the pot.
Buck had hoped this could be agreed on Tuesday, but the largely negative public response to the idea appears to have persuaded his fellow club bosses to postpone a decision until Thursday’s scheduled Premier League shareholders’ meeting in London.
But Cardiff chief executive Ken Choo has told BBC Wales that they are happy to chip in.
“He has moved the Premier League on to another level, ” he said.
