  1. 2 hours away, would likely need accommodation and would have a limited amount of time with the academy. So less club interaction and a loan that would cost someone more money.
  2. The transfer window is closed, so I don't think a league loan would be allowed. Add to the fact that he can still train with/play for our own academy sides whilst on loan, it seems like a perfect fit to me.
  3. How long will it be before someone on OTIB accuses Seb of blocking Yeboah's pathway....
  4. When did he positively 'impact' a game when he came on as a sub? I'd say that given his age, he has a much better chance of developing in to a player who can go on and have a good career away from the pressure of the Championship. He isn't likely to get a game with us at the moment, and the rest of this season on loan will hopefully help him progress so that come pre-season they can have a look at him and see if he is ready for the first team squad or would benefit from another loan.
  5. It is and it isn't. You have to remember that a lot of the posters on OTIB have a VERY SPECIAL understanding of football and can spot a bad player a mile off, and they refuse to believe that ALL players aren't the complete, finished article from the moment they step on to the pitch - regardless of age or experience. These same people wouldn't expect a player fresh to the country, squad, style of play to be ANYTHING other than 100% ready to understand the runs players might make, the positions they might adopt or anything else. Therefore, based on a couple of brief appearances if this lad isn't brilliant, he must therefore be dreadful - and there is no way back for him (despite the fact he has had some significant opportunities elsewhere at a much high level). If only we had a song for him. A song has kept a lot of people onside with Cornick when his contribution has been underwhelming at times.
  6. Not exactly a fall from grace, when he came on for us he was 'raw' (if I'm being kind); I'd say of that batch of kids that NP fielded either because he needed to, wanted to or had to he looked least ready for Championship football. Which is no surprise, given how early in to his football career he is, so going out for what will hopefully be a run of 90 minute games in a more physical league will likely do him a lot of good. In terms of performance when he came on for us, I'd say that we got better performances from OTC, who has also
  7. Police found those guilty easy to trace. #OldSkoolArt
  8. Could have been worse. They could have dropped a log.
  9. Fire safety might be a part of it, but given that it is still illegal to drink alcohol within sight of the pitch and their stand doesn't go fully across, I won't be surprised if they issue is far more simple.
  10. Well that makes it look a lot more reasonable. Would also help parents with the reallocation of tickets if a midweek game is likely to end too late for their kids to attend.
  11. Have you seen what Arsenal are doing? Obviously helps that they have more fans than seats, but that seems draconian to me.
  12. Won't surprise me at all if that happens.
  13. Him and Pring would be an interesting left side.
  14. The first of many nails I remember was when Bud sponsored the cup and the moved the final to a 5pm kick off so the Americans could watch it.
  15. Maybe they have ordered a load of iron-on letters and they are going for both JCH, JCR and for their new stadium, JCB.
  16. So they failed to sign JCR, took on a couple of loan players in January and have posted an open letter of intent that will keep the Fewers happy for a few months before putting up the cost of season tickets. I wonder how long it'll be until one of them get banned from Gaschat for suggesting that the new majority owners might not be the solution they've been looking for.
  17. Does this make you one of those influencer types now?
  18. It's from the club in their statement that A&S had requested the kick-off be moved. so either the rep that attends the meetings wasn't informed (probably a command decision) or they weren't being entirely honest.
  19. They'm getting proper eggy over on Gaschat about these season ticket prices. There is even talk of a 'protest' - although none of them can agree what a protest would or could look like. A more disorganised group of supporters you'll struggle to find. I think they even have representation at board level as well, which makes it all the more baffling.
  20. Toffs and https://www.wsc.co.uk/ are living history.
  21. Might well have been. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of results from that far back.
