  1. On the subject of planning permission (apologies link here is not directly football related!) - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66934296 TLDR - A fully completed block of flats in woolwich has been ordered to be torn down as the final building did not match the designs closely enough Lets hope such a recent precedent (and on a major project) is at the fore front of the minds of the planning comittee when they review the plans vs the reality for their stand.
  2. Maybe but they are a very good side and could pick us off if we press poorly.
  3. Whoever originally invented the half and half scarf needs locking up!
  4. It's hard to tell from the crap "fag packet" sketches provided in the planning permission documents. But it definitely looks a lot bigger than what was proposed. Here's hoping the planning committee don't appreciate being given the bird (metaphorically speaking) and ask them to tear it down.
  5. I am not convinced that their owners would put in even 1/10th of that!! How does the sovereign wealth fund work? - is it available to freely use for all low-grade restauranteurs in kuwait?
  6. If OTIB were a nation, moaning would be the national sport
  7. As you say it looked VERY reminiscent of us in our first few months. It's definitely not like they were bad with the ball; they made chances and threatened a bit, and with better finishing the game could have been closer. However, as soon as we got the ball and moved forward they looked very open, there were gaps evrywhere and their players were not really working hard enough to recover. I think they will be alright and stay up, but if they have injuries to key players they could be in for some nervous times. Especially evident since the side we saw them play in the first half was as according to their fans largely their second string due to the 7 changes. The side that ended the game for them was better - You'd assume schumacher will have learnt his lesson.
  8. In the earlier incident Yeboah fouled the player (No card) then Tanner kicked the ball away and rightly got a card.
  9. Is it the case that as a cat 2 academy we can just take any promising youngsters off of them?
  10. Is planning permission actually an important step in building something like this? ..... asking for a friend
  11. 100% agree on both. I hope we can play as well 2nd half and get a few goals.
  12. Radical suggestion - Maybe they should actually try turning up for home games? I know, I know - it's almost criminal to suggest that rather than being someone else's fault* the fault with their financial position lies closer to home. * pick any from a long and random list of parties to blame for their plight - The council, 'teds in the away end, Wycombe, the EFL, Sainsbury's, UWE, The ref, The Greens, The BBC, A cycling event, The Balloon fiesta etc. etc.
  13. Can I be the first to suggest it looks the perfect size for trolls?
  14. Nope not yet. Given they have got this far with the cconstruction - I am really hoping they are told to adjust the dimensions of the structure by a few metres (maybe lower and not so deep?) We may mock about "meccano", but this does not look like meccano if the need to modify it arose.
  15. I'd be checking betting sites for the officials having a lump on Swansea. Disappointing to be behind due to a lapse in concentration, but we look threatening going forward
  16. Even if the contract is in pieces on the floor - Peterborough hold his registration
  17. cityal

    Arena

    I was under the impression that building should have started the July/August just beforehand in that case?
  18. I'd be very happy with another hard fought narrow win - I think my blood pressure would prefer a comfortable 4-0 though
  19. I can see why they think that Brighton's: Dullards:
  20. you really are up yourself big time!
  21. Yep - very few people call circuses "corporate entities" - perhaps also you should bear in mind which club was piping in crowd noise over the PA before trying to call us soulless? I am hoping your poxy team of prison dodgers go back to getting rinsed by Acrington, Exeter, Morecambe and Fleetwood soon. I suspect we wont see you on here then.
  22. PPE? he did have to spend 45 minutes in front of their supporters!
  23. To also come back on what was said about so few chances/shots created against Millwall last weekend This is last seasons defensive stats sorted by xGA (a larger sample size ?) - Millwall were the best non-promoted side defensively last season.
