Lanterne Rouge

At least he shoots when he gets the chance, really puts his laces through it.

Tom Banton opens and Lewis G also in the side. Go the Somerset lads!

It sounds like a tweet from Donald Trump

All a bit attritional now. Nice to see Azhar getting his ton though, he`s batted very well.

This is what I think will happen. Say for argument`s sake we are allowed 8k and have sold 12k STs. Take out the ones who don`t want to go for various reasons (worries about health, not wanting to wear PPE/turn up 3hrs before the game/don`t want to go if they can`t sit with their mates and a myriad of other reasons) the child`s STs that are bought but rarely used and folks who just can`t make it or, sadly, can`t afford to go in the current circumstances and any refunds that are taken and 8k would be about what`s left I should think.

It was, just what was needed. This match is becoming very intriguing and tomorrow should be good. Let`s just hope the weather doesn`t ruin it.

Tired shot that from Jos. Declaration at 600 or overnight whichever comes first? Probably gives us two days (considering the weather forecast) to bowl them out twice.

There will no doubt be a fewer who says he lives in Sunderland and pretends he went to watch the game round some Mackem`s house and will regale us afterwards about how wonderful they think the blue few are and how much they hate us. This will of course be lapped up by the deluded ones.

`if we`d bin aloud to go we wood of took 10k` will no doubt be stated at some point.

Well done Zac Crawley, 205*

Best in show for new potatoes.

Right, that`s my mind made up then - Robins TV for me!

If I have to get there 3hrs before kick off count me out. I`d have to leave home about 8 o`clock. I suspect a season of Robins TV awaits for me.

#gaslogic mate - I bet he claims they took 50k to Wembly too.

Pot & kettle methinks - the club have been fraudulently marketing themselves as a football team for years.

Did Bumble just say `the umpire`s got his ringpiece out`?

Honest guv, we had a bit left over from a council job up the road.

Only not as classy and well maintained.

Appropriate for their fans then.

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.

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.

Don`t forget they were on their way back to Hull.

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

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.

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!
