A Horse With No Name

Isn't there a replay if it's level after 90?

Had it on RB coming home from work and the commentator remarked that the wind and rain could hopefully cause an abandonment. Jolly Keith Brookman , the cheeriest, optimistic Sag you could meet said " No thanks, that would mean we have to come back" 

If you know somebody with the Genealogy website Findmypast on subscription, they have all Evening Posts filmed up to the 1990s. Would be easy to find this article with a search. 

So your gripe is with the ref, not VAR as your thread title suggests..

The signs are there.  They've been there for quite some time. It's never been enforced there on match days - there was a thread at the time wondering whether they would be, but I think its all gone quiet since and just assumed that a blind eye was being turned.

Yet another example where it really doesn't do any harm on a matchday - and now that's another 50 or so cars having to drive round trying to find somewhere else - likely in Long Ashton, where it will become a problem.

Except that they will be replaced by another 50 cars that currently park elsewhere, unaware of the restrictions and so it will go on.

On a personal basis, I steadfastly refused to clap Russell Osman. Disliked him then and time is no barrier.

Mark Shail appears to have aged better than anyone else.

Interesting that they came out in positional order after the coaching team other than one man.

But I’m sure there were more players mooted - Scott and Edwards I’m sure were on the guest list originally?

And, where the hell were Junior Bent and Liam Robinson??

#JusticeforLiam

Why wasn't Bruce Grobbelaar there?

Whats wrong with the bouncing?

It needs to be all three stands at the same time, not individual stands. That's very naff. 

Rumours coming out Deeney has been sacked, after 6 games.

Have thought this for a few years now

Their actions do not match those of owners who have that drive and ambition to succeed.

Considering how bad our pr is and their inability to communicate well with local media they would get ripped apart on the national stage (top six squad comment would get laughed at for example)

Think they are quite happy where they are in their comfort zone (no idea why as only way to get some return on investment is through promotion to the prem?!?)

Lansdown would sh1t himself if we ever went up. He would have to spend big money even to just compete at that level.

Yep, they were supposed to go on sale at 10am iirc, got down there at 6am with my mate and the queue was from the Williams ticket office, onto Ashton Road and way back past the Dolman entrance.

They were selling 4 tickets per person so people were buying them, going to the back of the queue and offering them for double face value, that's how we managed to get tickets in the end.

They were sold from the portacabin which used to be the shop, in front the Williams main entrance but yes, the queue was that long at 6am.

IIRC After the Walsall PO Semi 2nd leg  , we got back from Walsall and immediately began queueing for tickets, and overnight ,  for the Play Off  back at Walsall on the Monday 

And they started selling tickets two hours before the advertised opening time as they could see there were more in the queue than tickets available.

Hope the old guy who had to be taken off our train due to feeling unwell is OK. ️

We were at Theale when him and his mate were looking for help, as he was on the floor. Ambulance was called but I think there was a long wait for one, but he had recovered somewhat in the time we were there.

Get this post to Jon Lansdown. It illustrates in two paragraphs why the cheap under 12 Season Ticket system is flawed. People are openly abusing the good intentions of the club and it illustrates why the South Stand has waves of empty seats each match.

Maybe there should be a way of stopping someone buying a cheap child's ticket, if it wasn't used for say, 60% of matches the previous season.

So can this become a "could of signed for us " thread?

Trevor Francis?

Harry McGuire

But Keegan wouldn't have been anywhere near the player he was, had he signed for us. It's all guesswork really.

Not sure if anyone has already posted this, but this is from KUMB about Pring, which i fooking loved!:

Their left back …. Bit of Julian Dicks in his play … potential head case material 
Not sure he would last a full game in Premier league but I thought he was fun

 

Pring was being chased by West Ham a while ago.

Yes, good shots of the stadium, particularly the old "Cowshed" stand where the Dolman is now. There doesn't appear to be anything down the side where the Williams stand was/ Lansdown is now, was that due to bombing in the war, or was it just like that originally?

The pass with the outside of his foot on 1.07

Well if we have it will mean the board got it spot on, and the majority on here were wrong.

OK; three wins on the bounce, ten goals scored, no one player hogging them, they've been shared round so opponents will have to mark everyone, not just one dangerman. COYR!

Think you will find it's 8 goals. 

A Saints goal? Don't be silly.
