What chance Derby lose at home and Bolton win by 4 at Peterborough ? Yeah , shame though. Pompey Derby Plus , I think , P'boro or Bolton , that is a tough call . I think P'boro could nick it. So to sum up and allowing for my prediction record. Oxford nailed on.

I think it could be the Concourse that's the main issue. That said there are always work arounds . Big away following isn't the problem. When you get 1000 in a 3,500 stand is when you lose money , or potential money. The balance is spend Vs gain . How many times a year do we get small followings for a game that would sell out ? They could probably put in a movable wall for segregating the Concourse, but it has to be cost effective , they wont do anything just for fun or atmosphere.

Early days of Ashton I thought he started to do what he did here, not that I watched too closely but it did seem like the owners may have reeled him in and there was better focus after. I do wonder if he/we/the Club focused on buying for the first team he might have been ok here. Trouble is he was given total freedom and it turned into a mess.

Just saw an interesting Tweet conversation. Basically saying that tonights result could earn Wimbledon £1m . I had to think, but I guess it's an add on in the Al-Hamadi transfer. That's how you want them to work , 4 months and Bingo.

I didn't realise there were 28 Cat 1 Academies . Is that across the age groups ? It works out 28 players per academy every year and I'd love to know how many they let go every year. I found overall numbers . This is all academies and Football schools apparently . Of those entering the game aged 16, two years down the line, 50% will be outside professional football. If we look at the same cohort at 21, the attrition rate is 75% or above. It's a tough game. Yep, misread an old article .

Yep, and thinking about it, if the loan would have covered the playoff games then he's still registered for them . Ah well , Mebude it is then

Getting your way so far

I would have watched Huddersfield Vs Brum if it didn't KO the same time as us. Hoping for a home win.

My assumption was he's only played for Aldershot and their season has finished , the loan is over . I thought he would be available. As for Morrison , I wondered if he might be involved when he appeared so prominent in the Video.

I hope he's on the bench tomorrow , I doubt he will be but it would add some interest .

Not much on Transfermarkt. Tommy Backwell is OOC this summer 30th June Ben Acey and Omar Taylor - Clark are out this summer too , signed extensions Oct '22. Struggling to find much else TBH.

I will have to go and listen again as I took it to mean they wanted to sell more than last year , to get over 15k at the start of the season . I didn't think they wanted to limit it to just over 15k They have to hold a certain % back for PotD , but you would think that having a guaranteed 18k every week would be preferable , then you would be near sell out every game if the PotD interest kept up.

Fixed it for you

On a lighter note hearing the "Wolf" story for his own mouth was great. We have laughed about it but man you can tell it was scary .

Gerry Gow, Vyner (loan) , David Noble ,Richard O'Donnell, Tony Thorpe , Martin Scott and Norman Hunter managed them
