Yes, the decision has already been made to make programmes optional in the EFL. The Fans Forum discussion was to talk about improving what those on the Forum agreed was a sub standard product. I think the club recognises that whilst sales are nosediving (mostly because the information is now readily available elsewhere) there are a lot of programme collectors out there. I suspect they move to some form of subscription service i.e. the programme is available to those who sign up in advance. Whether programmes would still be available for sale at games i don't know and whether there will be any changes for the coming season I have no idea.

I went and it was an excellent game with an under strength Lancashire made it a tight game, although it became very difficult in the last few overs with the loss of wickets. As Lancs couldn’t qualify they rested Joe Minnie and Graham Onions for the Championship game at weekends don’t that was probably the difference, comb8ned with several dropped catches.

The minutes of last week's Fans Forum will be up on the club website next week but in the meantime some information on kits from the meeting: - - New training kits will be on sale first in June, with home kits before the end of June and away kits in mid July - the club are going through a beauty contest for shirt sponsors to replace Dafabet - all are other betting companies - the club are also pursuing sponsorship contracts for other spaces on the shirts as now allowed

Maybe but his agent nicko is playing hardball on personal terms.

At the Fans Forum on Tuesday Steve said he was going to meet a group of DE fans and he was bullish about finding a solution that would work for you. I think as long as any existing season ticket holders are looked after as well it could work out OK. -
The contract with Umbro has another two years to run.

To save another 10 pages of angst, it won't be happening.

No. Steve Waggott told us the end of June for home kit at the Fans Forum on Tuesday night. Training kit should be out a bit earlier and away kit by mid July. Disclaimer: I suppose it's possible that he said end of June to make sure and that there is an 18th June date in place. Dafabet deal has ended and the club are currently going through a selection process for a new sponsor. Obviously that has to be resolved before the shirts can be sold.

By the end of June.

Season Tickets 2018/19

It’s a bit early yet for that chaddy. They’ve only been on sale two days and it is ages until the claim my seat deadline day. -
At least you were spared watching the disgraceful scenes at the end. IFollow stayed with the pitch invasions and then cut out before the lP of honour.

I’ve got iFollow here on Mallorca after some painful password antics. Pictures but no commentary - just as well as the sound is 3-4 seconds behind.

I’ve no idea why that post was deleted but at least some it was complete rubbish. Black tie at Northcote?, -
The Guild Wheel is exactly 21 miles (+ however many miles for you to get to and from it!). There are mileposts all along it. Although I haven’t been right round it for a while I use it all the time to go out to the west and occasionally to the east. I was on it today for a ride to Lytham and back.

In that case it's Forest Green Rovers.

Not really, with a 4mph speed limit.

He's currently appearing in the new series of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - or at least he was in the first one last week.

Fleetwood!! They're loaded compared to Stanley.

I don't think even Tim Farron believes he will be PM. I saw him on the train back from the Crewe cup replay. I'd like to think that he had been at the game but it was the same day that the Government lost the vote on Brexit before Christmas so I'm sure he was on his way home from London. -
I think Mowbray was always keen to use him, but there were some personal issues holding him back earlier in the season.
-
I presume he will be eligible to play? He has been serving a 3 match ban but I imagine he can count tonight's under 23 game as the third and therefore be available to play tomorrow?
-
Good to Lancashire win and secure second place in the Championship, despite Gareth Barry's rather cynical declaration on Monday.

This is probably a result of the improved financial position at Lancashire, as I was hearing about last night at a Bondholders' meeting. A solid operating profit in 2016, which should greatly increase in 2017. The new hotel now fully operational means significant off the field income. The team seem to have somewhat overachieved this year - a fairly weak team have never been in trouble of relegation as might be expected.

Paul makes a good point about an older helmet, unless you are confident that it has not suffered any damage. If it's one only you have worn for a few outings and it's never been part of a impact it should be OK. If you're not sure, get a new one. In terms of safety most helmets will do the job of saving a head injury in a fairly low impact accident but are not much use in a full on collision with a motor vehicle. I can vouch for this - in my accident last year the helmet stopped my head from smacking the tarmac. I ended up with a cut eyebrow and a lip cut which required plastic surgery but it would probably have been a lot more serious if I hadn't been wearing my helmet. I'd also agree with Paul that complaints about the cost of a bike from a proper bike shop. There are plenty of places that you can get a bike for less money, and when you have been on it for a while you will soon realise why. When we got our canal boat in 2003 I bought a series of folding bikes to go on it, thinking I wold not be using it much so it wasn't worth spending a lot on. After the third one more or less fell apart I bit the bullet and bought a Brompton. expensive but it's on it's fourth season and all it will need in a couple of weeks is a good clean and service.

If you have a bike you can borrow to see how you like it then that's a great option. Make sure you have a look at the bike to work scheme - it's a complete no-brainer if you want to get a bike (even if you don't ride it to work!).
