Wtf is an 'inflatable pitch'...?

See 30th May...

I'm not terribly convinced they were good enough for *last* year, neither...

Would it be too cynical of me to suggest this was always going to happen but they waited until after the early-bird season tickets were sold...?

As a comment on FB said, maybe one thing that still rankled was being told he was surplus to requirements at the start of last season. It would've annoyed me, for sure...

Six of them are going straight into the first team...

As there are to Cheltenham, to be fair.

Average house price in Cheltenham £333k; in Harrogate, £395k. Just an indicator, obviously.

Is Harrogate really cheaper than Cheltenham? When I worked at...that [ahem] secret place in Cheltenham, Harrogate was the only place outside London where you got an additional subsistence allowance if you worked there.

Can't think of one from Man City?

Sky Sports for football and cricket and pretty much every tennis tournament outside of the majors.

Plus, I took out Amazon Prime a few years ago specifically for the US Open tennis - but kept that for both the TV and because we like getting next-day deliveries.

Sad news - I remember him as a cracking ref who took no nonsense from the baying hoards of players who thought they could intimidate him. Black belt in judo, too, iirc.

A couple of weeks ago, I swallowed my pride and paid £31 for a month of TNT Sport in order to watch the French Open (added bonus of the one-sided Champions League final, too). I'm so glad I did: an absolutely stonking final match to cap off a cracking tournament. 5.5 hours of gut-busting, energy-sap...

Done. Stop tha' whinging...

We'd probably want still to be in L2 if we do ever rebuild the main stand, given that we'll have reduced capacity for most - if not all - of a season.

I saw a link to the DB post-earlybird interview on Facebook (although I've not yet watched).

I did, however, read the comments... Good grief... A couple of "Sack The Board" calls and, as an added bonus, an early "I'm not attending until Flynn is sacked" post.

Yes, from the last Trust email:

Club Shop sale
If you’d like to grab yourself a cut-price Mint away shirt (https://shop.ctfc.com/products/adult-away-shirt-23-24) before we return to white on the road

Less than £250k?? That sounds a bit cheeky !

Was that the game Lee Ridley was told to stay on the coach when they arrived...?

You'd swear some on here think they do...

I wonder if that's still true following Morecambe's relegation...?

I'd love to use Tapatalk again - but it hasn't worked on android for a very, very, long time...

I rarely get ads browsing this site on my android phone - but, on the odd occasion I browse it on my Windows PC, omfg.........

...one sale *on top of* the sale of Will Goodwin and George Lloyd, you mean? I dunno how much we got for them, but I suspect anything we got can only be a positive given their lack of success in the season just gone. Further back, I don't think anyone can complain about transfers received for Gilles...

Blimey, our board are SO non-league...we should have gotten AT LEAST £1m for him...blah, blah...

SC getting pelters from all sides on their forum - particularly over Doige not getting on the pitch, but also that he managed to get himself a touchline ban for this game.

Both Long and Sercombe cited amongst their "expensive and poor recruitment" last summer.

Agreed. Some adage about the merits of fixing the roof before the storm arrives.

Moving to Other Footy, btw.

It may well be a farce - but I can't help but think that the more likely explanation is that there's more to this than is being printed and there is, at least, a grey area.

York City: ouch... 23 points and +37 goals clear of Oldham at the end of the season, beaten 0-3 at home by them in the semifinal.

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...
