Now been officially confirmed what a few of us knew, Benarous picked up another hamstring injury in his second 21s appearance & his season is over. Do fear the worst for him, his two 45 minute appearances were spread out over a fortnight & he still can’t stay fit. Has another year on his deal but certainly can’t be someone Manning can factor in as being available in 24/25.

Yes, a regular in the Nova Scotia & very nice bloke. Used to speak to him regularly when I went in there.

Should have taken the head coach role himself then. Probably not in reality, seeing his in depth knowledge of the football industry is the major reason we have flatlined under him for 20+ years despite spending £200m. ”Trust me on Tinnion”, the ludicrous appointment of Dean Holden, FFS. Just sell up & spend even more time In Guernsey.

Don’t know what he was basing that on? Signing Atteveld? Brian Mitchell? Swapping Andy May for the donkey that was Dave Thompson? Bloke was poor.

Back in full time training & expected to be in the squad for their next match at Cambridge.

Sheffield Wednesday & Plymouth this year are scrapping to stay up & one of them is very likely to return to league one.

Huge congratulations to them, been away a while. As an indication of how much it has changed since & with Rotherham already relegated, can only think of Plymouth & QPR who will have a smaller capacity.

6526, **** me. Not so much a crowd, more an audience.

It wasn’t dubious. I do wonder though whether Nige (who I liked a lot) was someone many referees took against, as the number of clear cut ones we were denied in his time in charge was incredible.

South Stand.

Unlikely! My view (moving from Dolman to Lansdown) is slightly less central & a little bit lower down. I’m moving with 4 others, who are used to my rants, but I’ll be interested to see how others react..

Yep- I renewed last week & also changed stand. I didn’t wait for the swap your seat date, I simply bought a seat that didn’t have a ST holder in it this season.

Although it says “thy” it is very clearly sung as “thee”, isn’t it?

Anyone who doesn’t think “Drink up thee cider” is one of the greatest songs written is: 1) not from the West Country 2) weird.

Think Flint’s incredible time with us has somewhat obscured his predecessor, who as you say played a huge part in memorable consecutive seasons. Used to see him a lot around Princess Victoria St In Clifton, though to be fair at 6ft 5 he wasn’t exactly hard to spot.
