I used to do that all the time. Then I stopped going to away days and it felt like it would be wrong to do it this season.

I may do it tomorrow.

Si Robin

It's become like a family to me - losing Neil Kulkarni in January actually left me devastated.

Interesting early Stevenage team news from SportsMole.co.uk:- "The hosts have a lengthy list of absentees going into this match with the potential of up to eight players being absent due to injury and suspension. Dan Butler served the first of a three-game ban against Oxford United after being...

Probably FGR, other than that it’s probably a decade ago. Don’t think we even took 1000 to the Torquay or Northampton play offs We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe. We took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003 (stat courtesy of JP). According to the report on the official website we took 1...

Back injury apparently

In terms of fanzines, I guess the various podcasts and, I'm sure blogs and vlogs are probably the equivalent. Probably my very individual idiosyncrasy, but I have never got on board with these, much prefer the 'printed' word I was always anti-Kindle because I liked having the book. Then anti-Audibl...

Si Robin

It is. It kicks off at half 12 so is not effected by the 3pm blackout.

Si Robin

It's funny - on hearing they're being stopped, I'm sad. But then, like Shade, I haven't bought one for years, so why should it bother me.

Si Robin

What a strange post. Someone doesn't agree with your idea so you attack them completely. I agree with Shade and Oldun, the board shouldn't pay for fans to go on Saturday. We're supporters - the clue is in the name. If you can afford to go and have the time, then get there. If you can't, then no judg...

Si Robin

I am hoping and expecting us to produce the goods tonight, no idea why, but I refuse to believe that after the season we have gone through it will all be for nothing. As far as the board is concerned, on reflection, my take is that once DB got the awkward question from Mark H, he didn't articulate ...

Si Robin

I know the likelihood is relegation will be confirmed tonight, but I can't accept it yet. Win and it's game on this Saturday.

We've got to keep the faith.

Si Robin

Murry seems to have a love/hate relationship with the board. It's not the first time he's been on the board and left. I don't doubt he probably feels a bit toothless at trying to get things he's suggested through - but I also believe that it's more down to a change in his personal work circumstances...

Si Robin

If you believe that, then you'll believe anything

Doubtful - he's not well liked because of the way he left in the summer.

Si Robin

It wasn't month to month, it was a general working contract.

In my job I can leave at any time as long as I work my notice period - thats the contract Mickey Moore was on. He ended up serving his one month notice before going to Shrewsbury.

Si Robin

I don't think the issue was Mickey Moore going himself, so much as having no plan for when he did leave. At best, this was naive on the Board's part. At worst, reckless. We'd already had to increase his wage earlier in the season to keep him from going to Forest Green, so it was clear to a blind man...

Si Robin

Disco is highly thought of there to be fair to him.

Si Robin

Have you listened to the Trust podcast with Paul Baker? He explains in some detail why a CEO isn't necessarily needed at Cheltenham. Clarifies that we did in fact have one at one time and it simply didn't work. That's not to say it won't work now, I just don't think it's necessarily the golden ticke...

Si Robin

This is precisely what I mean. All season on social media we've seen "Sack the board", "Get Bloxham out", etc, etc... But none of these people have the slightest clue about what would happen if the board resigned en masse. The anti-Bloxham stuff is boring as well. As I said on an...

Si Robin

You keep banging on about it, but pray tell who takes over as leaders of the club.

I see plenty of criticism and little by way of solution.

Si Robin

We have an option on Pett's contract I believe, which means he'll be with us next season unless we let him go.

Si Robin

DC would have known when he joined that there was a good chance we would be relegated. I’m not sure we can read too much into speculation at this point. He has done an excellent job whatever happens this week and I really hope he stays. I agree. I think people are reading far too much in to Thursda...

Si Robin

What's incredible is how everyone flip flops from one extreme to the other at the drop of a hat. It's been run the same way for decades, as Paul Baker said on the Trust podcast - no outright owner, no one who can determine the fate of the club on their own, etc... In that time we've seen more succes...

Si Robin

Given he's under contract then as long as we're suitably compensated then so be it.

I don't want to lose DC, of course not. But much like he says about any players - if they don't want to be here then I don't want them here.

Si Robin

I don't understand why Bloxham is getting so much heat. He was poor on Thursday, no doubt about that, but he isn't a dictator and all decisions by the board are done on votes. Why is it suddenly Bloxham that's suddenly the bad guy and not, say, Murry Toms or Clive Gowing, or David Beesley, or Paul B...

He wanted to go all out in League One - but he wanted to do it without investing any money himself. He said he was going to invest £100k but the money never materialised. The bloke was a snake oil salesman, he got the support of a lot of people by buying drinks in the Nest and generally spouting ba...

Si Robin

I hope there's a special level of hell reserved for tossers who taunt the crowd of a club going down when they score, when they've basically had no stick from said crowd. What a anker. I wondered what that was about, too. I didn't hear him get any abuse from the home crowd in that particular stand,...

One thing that struck me today thinking about improving income was that I would imagine two of the bigger sponsorship incomes would be the shirt front and kit manufacturer We have had Errea and Mira both for over 20 years now if I remember correctly. Is this because they constantly outbid everyone ...

That was Mark Halliwell.

Approaching for help is not the same as asking them to stump up the full amount.
