When Saturday Never Comes

With the new four-team English Super League dominating football, supporters Billy, Spud, Amanda and Trevor have had enough.

The four, all supporters of small clubs, have decided that they just can’t sit around while their beautiful game becomes the plaything for the rich.

Frustrated, they plan to fight back and sabotage the ESL and somehow replace the big clubs with the little clubs.

But there is only one problem with this plan. How do four unemployed nobodies compete with ruthless, multi-billionaire owners?

Follow their adventures in this satire on the current state of English football.
