  1. Honest guv, we had a bit left over from a council job up the road.
  2. Only not as classy and well maintained.
  3. He did just try to hit out but didn`t quite connect but he needs to do it more often in these circumstances - wickets are meaningless ATM. It`s like one of those T20 games where a batsman`s bogged down and is better off getting out for the good of the team. Sibley is a damn good player and a quality opener but just not what we need out there right now. Personally I think we`re thinking about what happened the other day when Jos opened and was out first(?) ball.
  4. Surely we need to throw the bat a bit now given tomorrow`s weather forecast. Get a 300-320 lead and four sessions to get them out (assuming no play on Monday). The trouble is though, good as Sibley is, he can`t score quickly.
  5. Don`t forget they were on their way back to Hull.
  6. They`ve done a really good job I reckon. There doesn`t seem to have been any disruption to traffic during this major construction project and all local businesses seem to have been able to function normally - it`s almost as if no work is being carried out so fair play to them. They must be just adding the finishing touches now ready for the grand unveiling in a month or two. #comingforus
  7. Initially I think you take the first five games say and ask ST holders if they want to go to each - I would probably say yes to Saturdays but no for midweek games for instance- and then see how the numbers stack up. I believe that, with the number of ST holders who would likely say they don`t feel comfortable going for health reasons, the number that won`t go if they have to wear a mask, the number of junior tickets sold that are rarely used, the number that can`t go due to work and other reasons, the ones that don`t want to sit in another stand and the number that don`t fancy it due to the lack of the social side it won`t be much over 8k anyway. It also depends on the game of course - many more will want to go to Forest than will Rotherham. One proviso will have to be though is that if you say you`re going and then don`t there needs to be some sort of `penalty` otherwise a fair few may say yes to all and then only turn up to two or three depriving others of their chance to see a game.
  8. The daft thing is though Dave that you & Joe, being in a disabled area, can probably social distance better than most of the stadium. Any idea what the take-up for disabled areas is as a matter of interest? Over-subscribed or spare capacity? Even though you understandably probably won`t want to risk it (as no doubt will many others in those areas with health problems) I could see you being able to go to every game if you wanted!
  9. 300 at best now. The WI have bowled and fielded well TBF except for the drop by the big fella.
  10. Hmm. Hull, Wigan & Charlton down - three more clubs in League 1 that are a country mile ahead of the sad s*gs. So we now have Plymouth, Posh, Pompey, Sunderland, Doncaster United, Oxford, Swindon, Wigan, Hull, Charlton, Ipswich, MK Dons, Blackpool & Burton in the division - all streets ahead of the mob up Horfield. They`ll struggle to make the top half let alone the playoffs.
  11. The TMS team said Jack was pretty certain to play in the next one.
  12. I suppose wickets aren`t important as long as we get the 100 or so quickly. I can`t see the WI being bowled out easily though, they look a much better side than they have for a good few years - much more disciplined.
  13. Buttler & Stokes opening, could be fun or a disaster.
  14. It was nice to hear the numerous mentions of them nearly going out of the league on GD a few years back - I wonder who went instead.
  15. England all out, West Indies need 200 and we need ten wickets. Should be an interesting day.
  16. And were better run. And could pay more despite being a league below. And had permanent structures at their home ground that were unlikely to blow away in a stiff breeze.
  17. Anyone else just know it was going in as soon as we gave it away?
  18. I thought he did himself more damage crashing into the advertising boards IMO.
  19. This is so much better. I`m really enjoying it TBF. Adam and Korey look really good together, I just love the way Adam plays with his head up and his awareness is astonishing.
  20. How shit must the wages at Gills be if one of them turned down a new contract there to sign for the s*gs?
