Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - V

[Son of Cain]

I do think Weathy County are above purely local league level, like the Isthmian League. I think they are either in League Two or the National League. As such their players would certainly be paid enough to live on.

I have been giving this matter a lot of thought, far more than it merits. They have been rather vague about where Weathy County are placed , and the more I think about the less sense it makes. The fact that Tommy O has an agent seems to suggest a higher position and that he earns a fair amount, the internet seems to suggest an average of ?1,000 a week in league two. James on the other hand, who replaced Tommy, got excited when he was offered ?30,000 for the magazine article, but if he is on similar money to Tommy then he must already have a few quid in savings given that he is living at home with his parents in a terraced house. He certain does not seem to have the lifestyle of someone earning that sort of money. But then Weathy County's sponsor is the Weatherfield Gazette, which given the state of most local newspapers cannot be a large amount. In short I do not think we are meant to know where Weathy County sit in the league or are even meant to think about it. I am going to stop before my brain hurts.
