  1. I've renewed , but I'm the same as you about next year. With the potential of games being moved and if we stagnate the 24/25 season Ticket might be a step too far. Felt like I was back to only going for the social side a lot of this year.
  2. I was wondering earlier, will any Championship sides make a statement . Would the perspective or ex Prem sides feel they have to tow the Party line ? When you get down to it, it's the top sides that have been pushing for fewer domestic games , the ones that want more Euro involvement or lucrative tours . Dress it up how you want , they are all about the money and don't care about the vast majority of Clubs.
  3. This is an interesting interview, whatever you think of the bloke . Great question asked , there are 20 Prem clubs, and 792 Clubs enter the FA Cup is that fair. He is diplomatic by saying it's the FA's comp and their decision. A decision made by the FA with input by the Prem , was never going to take any other Clubs into account. Would be great if the EFL said bollox to the FA Cup we will open the League Cup to those Clubs who normally enter the FA Cup. Won't happen , but would be great to see some fight back.
  4. The women's Man Utd home game had 14,138 . More than the capacity of the Mem , that they can't sell out anyway .
  5. To add some balance , apparently hamstring problems after ACL surgery is fairly common. Hamstring pain is common and I read part of a report that said ... Persistent hamstring contracture ( shortening or hardening of muscles) after ACLR is associated with an increased risk of subsequent Cyclops syndrome. Cyclops syndrome is caused by a scar tissue nodule adjacent to the tibial tunnel of the anterior cruciate ligament graft after surgery. These lesions result in pain and loss of extension with impingement of the lesion. There is also no difference from a study, between age, gender , time of injury or proportion of professional athletes . No good news in there, but at least it's necessarily not down to being injury prone or bad post op care. @spudski I also read that if they did use part of the Hamstring, it can grow back shorter, which you would think could cause problems stretching or twisting.
  6. For some reason everything I typed disappeared. Anyway , basically that it is to benefit smaller Clubs is bullshit as they haven't been consulted . While I get that it's a bust schedule , all this is doing is making space for a few top teams to make space for European games. Small Clubs have made Club saving Cup runs for years. Those replays , with TV , extra revenue advertising and profile raising games have been vitally important for decades . The worst thing is they are saying it is done to benefit the smaller Clubs , bullshit , they didn't even consult the "smaller" Clubs.
  7. It varies for me . Upton Park good , London Stadium bad for a start , but it's not that straight forward . I like QPR's ground . Old school , I've found a spot with a decent view (lower tier ) and QPR mates & family make it a great day. Facilities are shite though. MK stadium , loads of room and decent view but even with 5,000 up there it wasn't great. I do like grounds closer to the pitch , reasonable size concourse & toilets and not a million miles from the Town/station .
  8. Apparently 272 Cambridge fans there last night , doing a bit of charity work by bumping the faithful and true(ly awful ) crowd up . 6526 - 272 = they need a 20,000 all seater stadium really soon Just as well everyone counts the STH not there.
  9. That means one of these two. Osman was Manager from Jan 93 to November 94 apparently. Pretty sure I was at the 3-2 win. The book says Shelton , Bryant & Gavin got our goals.
  10. Used to enjoy going there, great old school ground. Just looked and it was over 20 years ago my last visit
  11. Well the EFL etc do due diligence, and they never make the mistake of letting convicted crooks or dubious characters in as owners do they. I think we are safe Dave
  12. After all that has gone on this season , I hope they play this one.
  13. Everton have been poorly ran and mismanaged for years, now it's coming home to roost. I was out with 4 Everton fans last night, curry and watch the game, a couple thought it was the worst team they have seen ( honourable mention for Mike Walker's side ). They looked so 2nd best last night it was embarrassing , Palmer is a class apart but Everton look a real poor side. They have the chance to pull themselves out of it, they play Luton away and Forest, Brentford and Sheff U home . 2 wins will probably do it, but it's getting them . Forest have to look at away games to grab something , while Luton probably need to beat Everton to drag them back in. At least the curry was good
  14. Only guessing as I obviously didn't complete the purchase . I think the previously unsold seats might be the ones available.
  15. New purchases ? I just looked and I went as far as choosing a seat, and I've already got mine. Maybe people not planning to renew their current seat and have just got a new one .
  16. They should have them outside , keep the bars open and start about 10 minutes before the end. Give those leaving early something to listen too. Agree , they should stay on the pitch and just thank the crowd quickly . Going off for 10/15 minutes then doing a slow walk around is ridiculous .
  17. With wins for Plymouth , Brum and Blackburn , plus Sheff W , Stoke & Huddersfield getting points my QPR mates are getting twitchy . This weekends games will be interesting , few 6 pointers , glad we are out of it. The Championship tends to throw up odd results right the way through, but this time of year it really is brilliant . Huddersfield Town Vs Swansea City Rotherham United Vs Birmingham City Stoke City Vs Plymouth Argyle Queens Park Rangers Vs Preston North End SUNDAY 21ST APRIL Blackburn Rovers Vs Sheffield Wednesday
  18. I'm not really worried about results ATM , I wanted to see us put in a performance against one of the "poorer" sides in this division. We seem to go missing against these sides. I was annoyed with the team , I really thought we were past changing 5 positions to allow one change of player. There was no pressure on us but rather than relaxing and playing football, we relaxed and let them run the game. That form table is nice to see, but doesn't show how we played. It's not been great through that run, the odd game yeah and we rode our luck in games, but I want to see improvement too . Anyway , onwards and upwards. I might not watch Saturday and we will be brilliant .
  19. We heard some very interesting stories some years ago, we used to play golf with some players several years ago . Not complimentary about BT and he sounds like he is very self serving and not the Club man he likes to appear. While he was with the Academy , bringing through players made him look good. Now his role has changed you could argue, new signings would shine a positive light on him. As you the summer , and going forward , may be very telling.
  20. Poorly put by me, see my explanation above. May make more sense , possibly.
  21. I thought I'd get pulled up on that as I typed it. What I meant , and this is coming from someone who only played at a shite level , when you dive into challenges your arms come out naturally . You never put them out other than to give you balance. Now for the new VAR years they tend to think if the arm is out it is un natural when it comes to Penalties. So what I meant , and put it really badly , for me the guys arms are in a natural position as they go where they go in thoase circumstances. Then , as the arms are away from the body and they arm stops a cross it's going to be given as handball quite often. The ball was prevented from going into the box and possibly creating a chance , that's what I meant by him gaining an advantage . I wasn't referring to the advantage rule . Not sure I've explained myself much better now.
  22. As for a video clip this is as good as I can get it. I think it shows Ref had a good view. As for complaints, this is the guy who gave away the Pen, hardly going mad. The usual complaints to the Ref that you would see , even with the most blatant Pen. But not really going mad at a bad decision.
