  1. This one is really annoying me. I've been asked it before...... determined not to Google it!!!!

     

     

     

     

    Edit: Think I might have remembered..... Tranmere Rovers?

     

     

    Which two league teams - one from England and one from Scotland - don't include the letters a, b, c, d or e in their names?

     

    Portsmouth, Livingston

     

    Both Correct

     

    Tranmere won there in the league cup in 1973 but never played there since

  2. Name the FIVE French players that have scored 50 or more Premier League goals?

     

     

    What footballer, who is currently playing in the Premier League has played in all four divisions in England, the Conference, the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Scottish Premier League, Scottish Cup and Scottish League  Cup ?

     

     

    Which team has won every time that they have played away at Arsenal?

     

     

    Who has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League but been on the losing side twice?

     

     

    Name the THREE players  who have come on as a substitute, scored, and never played for England again?

     

     

    Which THREE players have played in the Old Firm derby, Manchester derby and Merseyside derby?

     

     

    Which two league teams - one from England and one from Scotland - don't include the letters a, b, c, d or e in their names?

     

     

    Who are the lowest ranked international team?

  3. It's impossible to say that without him there would not be this or that because without him there would be a.n.other more or less rich or adept at running a football club .

    Others manage with out "him" !

     

    As much as I personally don't want to see SL leave this club, it always amazes me how many people are convinced we won't survive without him.

    91 other football league clubs seem to be surviving, and the majority of them are better placed in the league than us !

  4. I've just read an interesting interview with Brendan Rogers, during the interview he mentions Malky MacKay's problems with Vincent Tan at Cardiff, where BR says an interesting line that ties in with some of the comments made in this thread:

     

    "My only conclusion when I look from the outside is you've got a business guy operating the club who obviously knows nothing about football.

    "He's obviously been a very successful business man in his life, but football is like no other business."

  5. I think buttler is a great player to watch

    but to say his keeping is excellent is way off the mark

    Average at best

     

    Somerset made a massive mistake in letting Jos leave, he was still raw in many departments

    But would not be surprised to see him make the test team in 2014 now he plays for a "proper county"

  6. while we all would want it now peoples dates would have to tie up for example there would be no point in holding one in a midweek afternoon as 99% of the adult fan base would be at work,

    The best time would be to advertise it and hold it pre-game say 1pm in the dolman hall and would be open to everone who has brought a ticket for said game (space will dictaite),

     

    100% agree

  7. I have written to them, e ,mailed them, called them met them , got a reply. The only time I did not get a correct response was to the ticket office this year. 

     

    I never said we were the only club to hold forums , others do of course, but equally many others don't. You won't find many club owners turning up in a pub before an away game to chat with fans. Look at the consultation the club has done for the new ground. I think people need to be realistic, but that does not mean things can be done differently or better. Football is emotional, when you are up the world is amazing, lose and it is doom. But "demanding answers" for everything is unrealistic. The single biggest area fans should be concerned about is ownership of the ground, as that has been the downfall of a vast number of clubs, I think Nick J raised the issues there. 

     

    Thank you for the reply, blimey I hope all that contact was not all complaints :fear:

  8. Yes, it was 16 March this year:

    We tried to get one at Crewe this year, but the dates just wouldn't work out. SL was at that point keen to still do them (probably still is, but will ask). I have also asked JL to do one and to visit bars around Ashton Gate.

     

    Stu

     

     

    Perhaps DaveL can help us out on this one and arrange another Wolves away question and answer thing like last season, a few more infromal things like that could go a very long way,

    It wouldn't happen right away because the bile is at its most potant at the moment but perhaps in the new year he could arrange something,

     

    Completely saw the reason for these meetings at away games to assist with our "exiles" being able to keep in contact.

     

    But maybe a controlled "open event" at AG8 would be good to do?

    FAO Monkeh, maybe now IS a better time for it, get these questions addressed and then everyone can move on?

  9. I have never had a problem getting a response, from either the current, or recent past board or management. With one exception this year, the ticket office. In that area the club made a disastrous change, from the enthusiastic and switched on team that was there, to one, or whatever it is, that still does not know what it is doing.

     

    However, in terms of getting access to the club, City seem more open than many others, with everything from informal chats to the manager, Sl turning up to a pub pre game, and god knows how many open forums.

     

    I would be interested to know the examples of how you have had contact with the club and how you have "never had a problem getting a response" please.

     

    100% agree with you the ticketing situation has been a nightmare for a while, excluding the new system, things have never been the same since Jayne Maggs left, but saying that the "actual team" have also been helpful and polite whenever dealing with them.

     

    I do wonder about us being the only club that hold these "forums", I know WSM FC have been doing them for years, but I can't believe that we are the only league club doing them.

     

    As for SL turning up to a pub pre game, that has been a few years now, maybe this is part of the problem that people feel unattached to the club now?
