Is anyone else concerned about the gentrification of the terraces, these days...?

Also, I find that ubiquitous feckin' dog that walks along those electronic boards, irrationally irritating and distracting.

But if it allows us to show the match clock and score on the scoreboard, I'd put up with the dog.

The problem is, we have a single fixed camera that is in the CF stand. From an advertising perspective, the ideal place to have these electronic boards is directly opposite, in front of the Main stand - where, as you say, it's maybe not practical.

I'd second you if you put your name forward for candidacy, Robin. If the singing section or whatever it's called has a seat on the shadow board, surely the club's only fans forum should have one.

Hate to break it to you, but I'm afraid you're consigned to be poor for the next 18 years or so, Shade...

You never know, they might even be inbound...

Nah...doubt it...

Suspect that wasn't actually in response to my post, horlick...?

Carlisle have a full-time CEO. They also have a bigger fan base than us and more 'history', for sure. I'd be willing to bet they had a bigger playing budget, too. He's sure helped steady their ship. (Just playing Devil's Advocate, here: I have no idea whether a CEO at Cheltenham is the panacea other...

Craig Braham-Barrett with an assist in the FA Vase final at Wembley to put AFC Whyteleafe ahead - but to no avail as Whitstable Town ran out 2-1 winners.

Brian Graham scored his 100th goal for Partick with a brace in a playoff match, last night. Player-manager, captain, top-scorer, kit man, coach driver,
cleaner, takes penalties and corners, tea lady - probably passes to himself, too...

And are we certain Young really meant that at Gillingham...?

I thought that when I saw it on FB, yesterday. It might have been a generally mediocre season - but we've seen some absolutely cracking goals.

I hasten to add that not all those opinions were mine! Just comments I recall from the time!

Yes, i quite liked Blair. Better than AJB? Not so sure about that.

A good piece on the official site for VE Day:

https://www.ctfc.com/news/2025/may/08/c ... -of-ve-day

Was it that good a team, though? I'd definitely take prime Hussey, Long, Freestone and Flinders - and May, Wright and Sercombe obviously goes without saying. Griffiths was not as good as Flinders, but 'ok' at the time; Tozer, despite his attacking threat (which I'd have him in today's squad for), wa...

I'd only put Kinsella in that bracket - I'm not convinced the others are irreplaceable, even on our budget (although I don't know anything about Willcox, tbf).

So that confirms Bowman was still our player, thinking about another recent thread where it was stated that he had already been released. Disappointed to see Bakare made available - but I guess Bradbury was in that position last summer, but now he's been stand-in captain and offered a new deal. I fi...

The retained and released list in full is as follows: Players under contract: Mamadou Diallo, Arkell Jude-Boyd, Scot Bennett, Darragh Power, Harry Pell, Luke Young, Jordan Thomas, Ethon Archer, Tommy Backwell, George Miller, Liam Dulson, Tom King, Sopuruchukwu Obieri Players available for transfer: ...

If we're counting, I can think of at least four occasions where an error by Stubbs resulted *directly* in a goal.

Bakare is a funny one, as he’s shown glimpses of being a capable defender at this level (and admittedly a few glimpses to the contrary…) Tbf, you could apply the same description to Stubbs... I'd like to see Bakare stay, I think. Maybe not first choice CB but, as you say, he's decent enough cover a...

Can't see it being Miller - and I'd be disappointed if it were Dulson.

The competition for worst game and goal of the season will be fierce and I think I'll leave that until I get a short list! Best game: I simply cannot think of a single game where we played two halves of noteworthy football. There were several where we played really well for 45 minutes - the last pro...

Thanks. I know, but I'm grateful for the differentiation.

Maybe he wants the posh end - Ingoldmells and Chapel St Leonards...? The thought of that smug, arrogant, narcissistic, self-serving bullsh1tter being in any position of power fills me with horror. No, I don't know who the alternative is. It's not Starmer. It's certainly not anyone in the Conservativ...

How did Hay avoid a booking for that shocker of a dive??

they're in white and we're in mint. On tv for a colourblind it's almost the same kit at times. Many, many, years ago, I arranged a sub for a badminton match at Hotel De Le Bere, Southam, as I was unavailable. I didn't know he was colourblind and he had the joy of playing on brown carpet with red li...

...and he's just mistaken Stubbs for Bakare!!!

Did the commentator just say we normally play in red and black...?

I'm so proud of my birth county, electing a Reform mayor AND a Reform-controlled council.

They've already imposed tariffs on Lincolnshire sausages and given half of Skegness to Putin.

Matt was brought in to work with the 3-5-2 formation that had been in place over the previous seasons.

Is that normal...? The board telling a candidate manager that we play 3-5-2 and that's what we expect from you?

Spot on, 100%.

Be interesting to see what the individual match prices will be... I can't make Tuesday night games - almost never, these days - so I don't have an ST any more.

Agreed - on both counts. Hearing the French rugby crowd in full voice in the Stade de France makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Billy Connolly said it best:

Ooopps even when singing the national anthem, it still catches me out. Think it will for a long time I heard an interview with a singer who said it's easy to remember to sing the line "God save our gracious King" - the difficult line, when you're in front of a stadium filled with 80,000 p...
