Good job I’m not going, I think both times I went we lost in stellar fashion. Hope they’ve still got that boiler. hope Cam doesn’t play, give JR a game. I’ll be out and about this afternoon so won’t be following the game. COYRs

I do miss Cotts

me too! :laugh:

Didn't Ashton take it away when they "forced" children up to the Lansdown?

What do they mean by that? How does it work out for L1 & L2 Do people actually want to watch?

But the EFL are full of shit, of course they are going to say that. I don't really believe the spin. As you say, we'll see… Surely it will impact children going? Unless of a certain age (for Friday nights), Monday night is a school night, plus those who play on a Sunday? Friday and Monday will most likely be a no go for me.

Yes but some people don't know there is a TV deal (I'd completely forgotten about it until it was mentioned on here)

Thank you. I don't think a lot of people know that it could become issue though.

The club really should address how KO times will be affected by the TV deal. I know someone has already broached the subject with Jerry but the club should make an announcement before people start purchasing STs

when adverts were good

was it Maxi Farnum or was that the pisstake advert where the dog jumps out the window?

Gold Blend! :laugh:

I had some old saucepans from the lady across the road, and bedding from somewhere. yes lots of scrounging for stuff and making do.

Yes he's registered because he's got Down syndrome. Thanks for the info, I don't think he'd enjoy it nowadays. He's 61 and his eyesight is failing, and couldn't sit in the seat very well. It's good to know though, thanks

There's so much to say about how that message is delivered! And by whom!

Does that include people with learning difficulties? My brother has Down syndrome (he doesn't come to football) and sometimes we just buy him a child ticket for theatre or cinema. I wondered if the club would do the same? He would need a carer

Yes buy to let is a massive problem, as is Air BnB (in certain areas). Re-frame 'clapped out' as vintage and youngsters might buy it. Self-certificated mortgages and over borrowing, plus low interest rates, as well as an unregulated remortgaging, ruined the market-led structure. I expected a crash 20 years ago but it didn't happen. I don't know how the housing market can be rectified now? Shared ownership isn't the answer, building more houses that aren't affordable or suitable isn't the answer. It's a right royal **** up

What are you talking about? You obviously want an argument and I'm not going to give you one. I just said that when I was on benefits I had to make financial sacrifices and didn't expect tax payers money to supplement my lifestyle, nothing more.

Well, if you take that tone! I was just trying to have a discussion about the idea. The benefit system is wide and diverse. You mentioned scroungers, not me. Unfortunately there are people who exploit the system, and there are those who need support.

Shame you can’t pay it by Klarna, there’s no set up fee for that. At the moment I don’t want the club ripping off anyone to be honest. sort out your commercial side properly!

I’ve been on benefits and just had to make financial sacrifices. No way did I expect tax payers to supplement my lifestyle.

I don’t really know how you work that out? Because interest rates wouldn’t have been high for all of the 25 years? I bought my first flat in 92 for 44k, on a 14k wage. Granted interest rates were high, my payments were around £400 - £500 per month. Utilities were around £80 in total. my niece has just bought a flat for £460k on two quite high salaries and their payments are around £1000 each for mortgage, and obviously £100s for utilities. How the hell are lower waged people, those with kids etc going to afford to buy anything these days? I was looking into renting a flat last year, the estate agents wouldn’t consider anyone earning less than £35k a year! I’ve never earned that much in my life!

No he just lives in BS3 and probably has a shed

He could be strapped to the top of his shed

Is it different for a coach like LM then? Can they get by on pennies? I don’t really understand. Surely a better manager can succeed with less?
