Bobby Hutchinson going for the ball maybe? Steve Neville the 11 and agree with Gary Marshall

Anything but celebrations

Some things don't seem to add up here either, for example, how come they can sell the Mem, which is mortgaged to the hilt and still have enough to buy another pice of land and build a stadium on it?  Surely there cannot be that much difference in the value of the two plots of land. Is someone else paying as usual?

That's how I understood it, they sell the mem and get debt (and ground) free.

The builder developing the Fruit Market then incorporates a stadium as part of the development and the fewers rent it to play in.

I can't imagine the builder would go over the top though. Bog standard off-the-shelf design, and if the reports of space available etc. are correct then not much more than 10,000 capacity.

Would love for Searle to go far into this Tourney.

My favourite player out there right now

Sprouts is the answer

I know he should, but Mardle doesn't irritate me at all. I liked him as a player too though.

Hi All

Just wondering how u18s will be expected to show that they are u18 on entering the ground without a COVID pass today. Particularly if they are say 16/ 17 but look over  18 etc…

Thanks

I am hoping the fact my son has an U-19 ST will be enough.

Should of took a penalty against Mansfield at Wembley. Not Gordon Owen 

Please don't mention that name again. There's a good chap

I have no idea for City, but I can't imagine John Atyeo would out of the running would he?

Maybe Bob Taylor?

Jermaine Defoe, very early in his career, went on loan to Bournemouth and scored in his first ten matches for them. I'm sure that was the record at the time though it might have been beaten by then?

I Remember Steve Lansdowns words when we got promoted  to the Championship,(SC days) I will get this team to the Premier League in 5yrs, YEH RIGHT,

SL said PL in 5 years? I don't recall him ever saying anything like that. Don't suppose you have a link at all?

Since when was banning swearing on TV a 'woke' issue? If anything it's the opposite.

Just sounded like a pyramid scheme.

There was probably a lot more to it than that, but that was my first impression.

No, I think that pretty much is what it was.

Indeed the o’dowda one is rubbish, and how tinpot are we that we still have to reference Bolasie in it… he left like 8 years ago couldn’t give two monkeys about what Bristol city think about him yet the singing section are obsessed with him….

Heard this song a couple of matches back and, when trying to work out what they were singing, I assured him they couldn't posibly be referencing Bolasie as that was long enough ago to be more or less irrelevant now!

Were we the live match last night? Didn't even realise, might have recorded it if I had!

Or the away attendance has been miscalculated....wouldn't be the first time, some photos I've seen from last night certainly didn't look like nearly 700 pikeys there.

Their last few home league games are as follows...

Exeter 1,892 (incl. 472 away)
Rochdale 2,173 (973 away)
Hartlepool 2,448 (incl. 1,019 away)
Northampton 2,037 (incl. 677 away)

The lowest home attendance there was vs Rochdale and that was still 1200 which means either the gas are such a massive draw that it has lowered their worst home support by about 10% or the number of away fans has been overstated. It's not yet listed on the results page on their website.

No issues for me, just don't use it for anything and don't want anymore people having my details (more than necessary )

Fair enough, googling it, it would appear that various groups have issues with some of their policies but I couldn't see anything particularly overarching and was wondering if I had missed something.

What are people's issues with Paypal btw? Is there something I should be aware of?

John Ward definitely deserves more, he built a team you could really get behind. Strangely, I also really liked Benny, the season that JW was sacked and he took over was still one of my favourite ever seasons, despite the relegation at the end of it. I think the game that relegation was confirmed was a 1-1 draw away at somewhere like Norwich, and the support from the fans was fantastic.

Why can't they just be left alone to simply be kids? 

Kids are a lot more aware of things these days, especially once they start school, mainly due to access to the internet.

Some of these things need to be taught and explained fairly early on otherwise they end up getting their opinions from people thy don't know who are free to write and publish any old rubbish.

I notice, also, that the school in Scotland having a boys in skirts day (in support of a Spanish boy who was expelled and sent to a psychiatrist for wearing a skirt to school) was an initiative thought up by the students, not the school pushing it downwards.

Isn't Chris Hughton available now?

Presumably you were never around in the days of Sam Mason, among others?

*ahem* OK, I give you Sam Mason, set a new low bar for awfulness. I had pretty much blanked her from my mind!

Bring Back DL I say!

I wont deny it. I'd love for him to be replaced. Nothing personal. Just dont think he's a good presenter. I mute the TV at half time when i'm watching robins TV

He's not as bad as he was a couple of seasons ago, but he is still awful compared to just about every announcer we have had previously.
