Am sure there is some rule, but was saying last week how it would be great if we could avoid home matches on race days e.g. this weekend. It must impact gates Yes, it would ,but overall we do pretty well as I think we always have a home fixture on Boxing Day which is probably the most coveted day o...

Well the good news is that only a couple of Nesters appear to be numpties according to Will.

How dare he say he was keen to leave us!

May he and Ferry rot in hell.

Cheltenham might not be a rugby town but it certainly isn't a football town either. The people might be interested in England and watching the Top 6/Villa but they have little interest in watching Cheltenham as we all know. St and on the Prom on a Saturday and you see loads going on the 94/10/98 wh...

Agreed.

He might have chosen his words better in a couple of places,but this was a verbal interview given to a local reporter so it's naturally going to be slanted to their readership.

paperboy

Sorry but that's throwing him under the bus, if he was asked he could easilly have answered very differently. True, I did think it was a tad undiplomatic. These things should be kept within the club IMO Agreed. Flynny does seem to name names unnecessarily, which can't help squad morale. A player kn...

I know they're bezzie mates n all, but how is he picking Bennett out and saying he was excellent and everyone else was poor? Bennett was no better than anybody else on the pitch. Plus, he's the leader so should have been...leading! And the comment on Harrison Sohna is bizarre. "He's not been g...

Wish the match sponsors had given their keeper the Man of The Match award!
He had barely anything to do, but was the obvious choice.
Another long range effort from Miller.

Just think if we'd beaten Salford in the cup we too could have been playing on a heated pitch, getting thrashed, but banking shed loads of money.

paperboy

It’s curious there was no indication in advance that the match might be in doubt. I didn’t realise there was a 0900 inspection - the first I became aware was reading there was going to be a second pitch inspection at 1230. And I read that just before 1230, when my District Line tube was just approa...

Wimbledon have had heat lamps on it. They were described on the bit I read as 'grow lamps' - are they necessarily 'heat lamps'? I dunno. [/b] The bloke at the house they borrowed them from described them as "grow lamps"....wonder why? 😉 The postponement fortunately doesn't affect me, but ...

paperboy

Well apparently their new pitch covers only withstand temperatures of -3. I think Steve said that's the same as our old ones. Think they've been sold a pup. Disgraceful by Wimbledon, but sounds like the EFL and ourselves didn't stick up for fans judging by this. "At 09:00, the referee liaised w...

Much balmier in SW London and they have super new frost covers.

Await the " precautionary pitch inspection" announcement.

Thanks Joel, all the best and hope you get plenty of minutes wherever you end up.

AJB might be an in- house replacement.

Given the weather forecast of -4 overnight this will be a stern test of their new pitch covers.

Exactly he wouldn't unless there was an injury to Pett or Kinsella. No need to rush him back, hopefully he gets a few games and we shake hands assuming it was only a one year deal and we didn't go stupid in offering him two years at his age. We went "stupid" Utter madness that, hes hardly...

Has anyone heard of any vague estimates as to when they'll be back? Last I heard Pell was on the grass and that was sometime ago Well that's open to mischievous interpretation.😉 Wasn't it Haynes who was further along the road back to fitness with Pelly less likely to make an appearance this season?...

paperboy

Be interesting to know roughly how many players come into us on trial each year.
There must be many that we don't hear the names of.
My own very wild guess is 30ish.
One for a fans forum question maybe.

Sending out an SOS to fans to lend the club that duvet from the spare bedroom could be cost effective.

Meanwhile a player who has been pretty much injury free throughout his career racks up 500 appearances.
Good player but much maligned once he took the shilling from up the hill.

Gloucester have an artificial pitch. That's why their game will be on. Well if we reach the promised land of the National League we'll be able to get one too!

Game called off too early. You have to ask questions when we are the only EFL club that can’t get a game on. Gloucester City got their game on today. Mmm. Don't Glos have a flammable 3g pitch? Are you just miffed because the club didn't ask your advice as the county's leading meteorological guru? 😉...

I guess they only need to have saved a couple of matches to have been a good investment.
