What? We so 'dearly need' a new stand? You might well be alone in thinking the existing main stand is fit for purpose - even amongst the board. I would respectfully suggest you stop "chatting sh1t" - but, better still, why not let another poster express their views without verbally abusin...

I saw that announcement on the BBC and wondered about the coincidence of names - thanks for confirming.

Lloyd (apparently) and, imho, Freestone. Both assets we could get money for.

I assume both those are contracted for next year? Not checked.

I must've missed the street parties. We commented on here - maybe five posts related to their relegation? - but I think we're too engrossed in our own problems to worry too much about their's.

Angela van den Bogerd next week! That one will be fun if the portrayal of her role in the dramatisation is anything close to reality.

Mr Beer KC, appears to be getting quiety annoyed with the latest witness, Rodric Williams (former litigation lawyer and now head of Legal at POL). Meanwhile, Mr Williams' face has adopted an expression of permanent confusion as if he doesn't really understand why he has been asked to appear nor why ...

Oh, I missed that... I thought he'd left because nobody bought into the plan to sell 10,000 brass plaques for people to have messages engraved.

Hey, ho.

Nonono...goalkeepers never get injured...

1985CTFC seems to have vanished, again...

Heyyyy.....what if we drop Pardington from the bench and add another youth team player....? Surprised nobody's suggested that. It's the sort of out-of-the-box thinking we need right now...

He probably tries to claim the goal, himself...

Well done JRA!

And thanks for running things, Shade.

Well that's going to blow up, isn't it....?

Put it this way: in a fight against relegation, would you rather have our run-in of 3 games or Burton's 2 games? I agree, I can't see them getting more than 1 point - but my point is, they *could* and it's far more likely than Vale winning both theirs - let alone us winning all three.

Problem is, Burton could potentially get 6 points. Realistically, our best chance for a win is probably this weekend - it's hard to see us getting many more than 3 points from our last games, which are definitely the toughest of the set. We could easily get less than 3 points - and that leaves us ho...

My one bad sporting injury was a torn shoulder muscle: it stops you doing everything cos so many muscles appear to be connected... After doing that, I bent over the sink brushing my teeth and nearly collapsed on the floor.

Momentum is everything...a win tonight and maybe the players will start believing in miracles, too. Anything other than a win, however...

Good idea. There's a Status Quo track that might be just as fitting.

Lloyd is the ideal second striker in a team that plays an energetic high press - a tactic which I would love for us to play. Obviously, Lloyd aside, we don't have the personnel to play that way.

The Facebook boys are saying things like "we're sleepwalking into relegation" and "this is the worst team I've ever seen" - i must admit, I thought I'd fallen into a wormhole and ended up 14 months in the past when I read those two gems, yesterday

I was ill (covid, if the result of the test kit that was beyond its expiration date is to be believed) so couldn't attend. So, objectively, why did we lose today? 1. We gave the Gas a handful of extra tickets. 2. The referee was corrupt. 3. The referee's grandfather used to fly a Bristol Beaufort du...

Some on the FGR forum calling for SC to be sacked!

It's all gone a bit leggy again lately, for me - seems to come and go, but it's particularly bad, today.

Just play Ken Dodd's 'Happiness' at the end - it's the only thing on a matchday play-list that I'm interested in.

Let's face it, WR is a bit of a library 90% of the time, with the bulk of the noise being made by the visitors.

I hadn't commented earlier as I just felt that I would come across as negative - but 10k? Really? That's not 'optimistic' - that's 'pie in the sky'. As the triple DW says, there's, let's say, 500 Trust members and the 500 Club bubbles away at around 500 members, too - but I'd be willing to bet a Ven...

This government is bent, our national utilities are bent, local councils are bent, big business is bent. To think that professional sport (in this country) is not bent is very very naive. I didn't say it doesn't exist at all, even at our level - but I'd be willing to bet that at least 99% of all de...

At this level? And to the extent some on this board believe it? Pretty much every time we lose, it's "oh, this ref is bent". Conversely, when we win, the ref hardly gets a mention!

My issue is that some on this board would have you believe that it's corruption rather than simple human error that causes decisions to go against us - which, I'm sorry, is utter nonsense. Are some officials at this level not very good at their job? Yes. Could the vast majority of keyboard warriors ...
