Funny because someone I know who goes home and away every week (poor bastard) reckons only 5/6 players at best would be good enough in League 1 He's convinced Taylor will be off, and as QPR found out (they play in the big leagues in case you don't know them) lose your best asset and you really struggle If you finish one place above the relegation zone a year from now it will be a genuinely massive achievement, sometimes rising up the leagues too fast can actually be worse in the longer run... just look at your mighty rivals Yeovil for an example of that

Surely they are only for when someone wins a trophy?

Luckily we're good enough to have the business done way in advance. I guess the closest we got was Christian Roberts vs Hartlepool

Bastard! I just spat my breakfast out reading that ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Remember being on a coach that stopped off in Tewkesbury on the way home that day, the local police were convinced we were waiting for a Leeds supporters coach

Depending on how this all unwraps will give an indication of whether he is actually going to invest in the playing side of the club and not just in it to make money from other ways. I was surprised if he never sanctioned any loan signings that could have pushed you guys over the line

I never even got the ability to post - in hindsight I guess that is no great loss?

Am I the only person who every time he is mentioned imagines him as this ?

@PHILINFRANCE I'll accept the 'Whoosh" on that one

Somerset County Cricket Club is delighted to be able to announce that for the first time in our history Platinum Membership, which allows access to all forms of cricket, has completely sold out. CEO Guy Lavender said: “This is a remarkable achievement by our sales team and reflects strong demand for cricket in all its formats right across the West Country. “With Membership now standing at well over 6000, combined with record high levels of NatWest T20 Blast ticket sales, the Club is in good health. “At a time when some seek to deride the popularity of domestic cricket, it is worth pausing to reflect on the strength of many County brands such as Somerset’s and the Club’s ability to sell Membership in good numbers, achieve full houses and inspire many young people to play and watch cricket.” Head of Commercial Operations Jez Curwin said: “This is fantastic news for the Club. Demand has been extremely high and to sell out of Platinum Membership is unprecedented. “Somerset County Cricket Club has the best supporters in the world and we are extremely grateful to all of our Members and fans for their unwavering backing. Hopefully their loyalty can be rewarded with some memorable performances this summer.”

Champions = 0 ????

Time for a bit of fishing !

A naked man arrives at a fancy dress party with a girl on his back 'I'm a turtle' he says 'Oh.... , so who is that on your back? ' 'that's Michelle' he replies

So the draw in the Dribuild sweet had 2 of the 5 prizes won by Dribuild :laugh: I believe the owners are City fans too

79 @ £1250 (pre VAT) = £98,750 can't believe selling them seperately would have got that

Shame Bristol Sport never entered !

Somerset v Cardiff uni now moved to Taunton Vale due to problems with the outfield. Looking at pictures tonight we're going to have big problems this season, if anyone remembers the horrible divets we had on the outfield a couple of years ago, it currently looks worse than that. The new drainage is failing and there are bumps all over the place. The best part is the groundsman is blaming the weather over the winter! Now unless 20 miles down the road had conditions different to the rest of us, we had a really mild and dry winter

With all this noise from those over the river - perhaps we should remind them that the gap is STILL there and has been for this long !!! http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/soccer?iso=20001028T1645&p0=299&msg=CITY+above+rovers

I think you have been brainwashed by someone North of the river - there is nothing to say our long domination is anywhere near ending

Apart from Rugby League is there a "large" summer sport? Certainly won't be Glos CC on the move

Sad news about James Taylor completely retiring from cricket due to a heart condition
