Open End Numb Legs Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 On the roof? There were questions on here as to why there was a seating gap at one end. The theory by some was that it was reserved space for a big screen, then someone said they needed a crane to lift it in but couldn't because the new roof was in the way. Is this the result?

The space was indeed originally for a screen, no idea about the roof theory, but this is bigger than what would have fitted originally Nothing they do anymore surprises me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Back to the latest Gash PR disaster - my cousin captains the England visually impaired cricket team and also plays for Somerset. She was highly amused / bemused by their clanger and is glad not to be “normal” (how boring must that be, she said…) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 I know we’ve got our ‘Champagne Moment’ of the season but I was wondering what their MD20/20 moment of the season was? 1) Forgetting to fax the paperwork off when trying to sign JCH 2) 75 fans to Fleetwood 3) losing 5-0 to Lincoln 4) Their ‘Daddy’ getting sacked and replaced by Arnold Rimmer 5) Their club suggesting disabled fans are abnormal 6) Breaking their own record for consecutive games without a goal after selling their best player for £4 million less than they said he was worth. 7) Having their attendances beaten by our Women’s team I may have missed out many others. Personally I think the whole JCH **** up takes some beating. 9 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you could add leaving space for a big screen in the new stand but then putting it on the roof so spectators can't see it. The burnt food is memorable.

Theres no doubt in my mind that the new owners had no intention of signing JCH, and the paperwork thing is just a terrible cover up. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt it was. Posh and the player must have known this too hence neither kicking up too much of a fuss. All pre-arranged IMO.

I don’t doubt it mate. I can’t remember whether the fax machine story was officially used by the club or something was leaked but it’s still hilarious that is the line they went with The best bit was seeing them give it the “unlucky da shit”, “announce promotion” and “we’re comin 4 u shit eds” before the eventual meltdown. The Dan Hargreaves spoof account saying the deal was off which was dismissed by the man himself as bullshit about 10 minutes before having to admit that the spoof account actually got it right. The following day we beat Swansea. Decent weekend. Edited May 12 by Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 My personal favourite sag up is putting the roof on that temporary tin can shed without thinking about the positioning of the floodlights! Or the horse box serving alcohol as if there wasn't enough manure on the pitch already. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, their rationale was sounds as to why they would beat Norwich, believe it was along the lines of, 'well, they have played them in the last few years, so they won't care'. Overlooking the financial rewards for the club, the win bonus the players would get for progressing, the professional pride they have, not wanting to be knocked out the cup by a lower division side and the fact that a lot of their squad would have never played there. But who can second guess #Gaslogic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 9 hours ago, BanburyRed said: The Gascars...? If you want to go down that route, we could have categories which would allow for multiple awards.

22A Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Announced on BBC Cambs this morning; "Peterborough United have confirmed their striker Jonson Clarke-Harris will be leaving as ghis contract has expired". Will Rovers try signing him again or could City sign and then loan him to a League 1 team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayes86 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 So ready the evening post article about their new state of the art screen it’s intended to be put on a platform over the south west stand and the platform will then act as the roof to the stand?!. I get confused with the dozens of stands they have but isn’t that the corner bit between their new stand and awful hospitality stand (where sideshow bob was bored to tears a few years back) seems a weird place to put a screen surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
