barneyrubble Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Football is done for a couple of months apart from checking otib to see who we are signing. I'm planning on watching the cricket got tickets to watch an England game and an Australian one. Also plan to watch some t20 at Gloucestershire. Always look forward to the open golf championship but that's about it. Massive off season for us on decisions for players, would really like us to get business done early but not sure this will happen. Key decisions kalas , quality centre midfielder and proven goalscorer. Have a good summer whatever your doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinRed Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Surely you haven’t forgotten the UEFA Nations cup in June! Better than Friendlies, but still haven’t quite caught on with fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Cricket, cricket and more cricket both live and on Sky. Outdoor bowls has already started so that’ll take up a far bit of my summer.

Bristol Oil Services Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 For me, the summer begins with the highest, and noblest, intentions - the novels I will read, the galleries I shall visit, the various self-improving activities and volunteering positions I will take up, the hours and days I will spend away from social meeder and digital what-have-you - giving football, and OTIB, a miss for several weeks, before, inevitably, after no time at all, barely hours, I am back on here, having a peek, then spending hours and days following gormless transfer threads and rumours, and drawn back into gormless, futile squabbles, with fellow posters, some of whom I will, unwittingly, be hugging and embracing at Wembley in 12 months time, as Marlon Pack and Fam slot home their pens to take us back to the top after 40 long years .... In short, OTIB and day-dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 4 minutes ago, Super said: Do you prefer do it indoors or outdoors Robbored? Outdoor is far more challenging but weather dependent. Dry and it’s swings well, wet and it’s swings much less. Conditions change during a match and in the evening games the saying “after 8 put on weight” is so true when the dew comes up. Different greens are often unpredictable and that adds to the challenge of the game. On a warm, balmy evening there’s nothing quite like a game of bowls. However when it rains it’s nowhere near as enjoyable..... Although indoor is the same game it’s far more precise. Hardly any variation in line or length so if you find the right weight it won’t change - until the jack length gets changed and that can and does make quite a difference. I remember being 12-0 up on my rink and they won an end and put up a minimal length. None of my team adapted and we lost 19-14....... So.....in nice weather I enjoy outdoor more but indoor when it’s pissing with rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Watching the playoffs and Nations Cup, fishing in the local pond, some Pike and Sturgeon were put in last Autumn for a competition, not all were caught, as well as the usual Roach and Perch. the Mrs will want to go to some local concerts, as a lot of them are on Saturdays, so of course I can't go, because listening to the games commentary comes first. Might also spend a few weeks travelling around Latvia and Lithuania, some nice places there. After all that, back to the start of the new season, hopefully with a new striker and creative midfield player and not ones for the future. but for next seasons campaign.
