Just been reading the post article on our new arena. Apparently we now have full planning permission after 11 months of detailed discussion with the council planners covering such topics as the exact nature and colour of materials to be used for the build, exact design of a pedestrian walkway, colour and standard of paving stones. And the gas think they can get by with a cartoon drawing.

It's interesting. If it's fast tracked, I would expect to come from a repair budget. Having spent major millions on refurbishment, doubt there will be any will to demolish and replace (Marvs plan).

Not playing. He's been a naughty boy.

Not sure. I'll have to canvas opinion on that.

There is acknowledgement on gaschat that their marquee signing is in fact .... a marquee.

I'm struggling to see any similarity between the erection thus far and the advance image included in the planning application?

Still look a bit tentish with a canvas roof. Although fair play to them, they have employed the latest slimline pillar technology.

Marv's plans for the roads in the area were only a series of crude drawings probably produced by a lowly paid intern. I doubt whether any costings were produced. As to the replacement/repair cost, who can say what inflation will be in 10 years time. Can't see this one being fast tracked.

Obviously a deal done with Mason. You go quietly and we'll say something nice about you. We'll even say your innocent based on private evidence which will never see the light of day. Grubby deal.

Yep, at their own expense of course.

Perhaps to satisfy everyone, Nigel's press conferences should start with hand on the bible as he recites "I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth.........

You're not alone?

USA out after comedy penalty shoot out.

But wally never had mechanno (the toolkit for the imagination). He had a fully assembled scalextrix complete with winners flag.

Time for a poll. 1 When will they admit failure 2 Who will they blame.

It was a decision of the women to play same dimensions as men.

I years since she played for the City in the Championship. I'd say yes based on that season. Quick and strong.

I've seen these stands in action for cricket. At Taunton, the stand is on existing tarmac parking. At Bristol, on grass with temporary matting just in case of rain. To plonk a stand on bare mud would be a interesting proposition. Maybe the shop restocking is introducing the new Gas boot cleaning kits.

Don't think the numbers would warrant it, although Man City last had one supporter with a penetrating whiny nasal voice who I'd quite like to see segregated, possibly at the HPC whilst we play at Ashton.

Lost 6 with first team experience (2 loans included). At present we have 12 for the starting line up plus 5 young uns for the bench (includes 2 under 18). Imagine this for the men's team in early June. It would be the ultimate meltdown.

At the moment, we have lost 6 players from the championship winning squad and added one player. At present, we will struggle to fill the bench. At least 4 players needed and they need to be experienced.

No man's land. Maybe some netting or some barbed wire.

Endorse what exiledajax has said. Safest away trip on offer

I think at the end it came down to 2 factors. VG was stronger than TG and VG wanted it more. VG looked like a man at the end who had put 110%% into the day.

I'll have a ticket and also have life insurance, so will prepared for all eventualities.
