They don’t want him missing the Portugal group with the likes of Curaçao and Jordan, even at 41 he’d be getting the Siuuu out.

With Marilyn! The Missus’ Aunty and Uncle, small world etc.

Who was the landlady/landlord then?

End of the day you are up against it straight away if you only sell 9k STs. And it really comes to the fore for night games as small away followings, smaller number of walk ons and ST holders giving it a serve… of course, as always, sell more STs in the first place and you have that larger crowd in the tent to start with to build from. Alas the regime aren’t interested in that.

Hare and Hounds was still doing really well too considering the demographic change in Lammack.

My neck of the woods. Hundreds of folk (many in fancy dress) traipsing up Pleckgate Road on the way to the Sportsman’s… can’t speak for others but I’d end up in Jazzy Kexs. Sigh. A very different time in a very different town.

Of course I’m not saying that anywhere close to the announced crowd will actually be in the ground, same everywhere for midweeks these days.

I used to love that smell hitting you as you left the Penny Street market (after having a sarsaparilla, of course).

Indeed, Aeschylus.

Open and honest. Aye, ok. Not said a single critical thing towards the regime since he joined… fair enough, he’s here to earn a wage and they pay it, but open and honest, he ain’t.

c9k ST holders, 300 away fans, so yeah you ain’t getting much over 11k.

Considerably so, but my point being there is still a sizeable fanbase out there.

Wins over actual points to be used to fit an argument now.

Hubris in this league always bites you on the arse. So maybe don’t let yourself get ‘egged’ on by by Liverpool supporting social media personalities purely advancing their own brand and you won’t look so silly after.

Yes, didn’t get the ‘poor support for Derby’ comment, if they hadn’t been so petty with the away allocation we could have been pushing 25,000 on - by the way there were considerably more walk ons for the 150th than for the 125 when the club was in a far better place. The support is still there, and if this club ever got it together again…

Always plenty of managers interested in Championship jobs (especially at a pretty unique one where they don’t do sackings).

Away series were never part of the ‘crown jewels’ protected free to air event list, however home series were (until 2005), then the ECB lobbied the government to remove themselves from it so they could make more from subscription TV… and the profile of cricket in this country has only declined since.

All sounds a bit plastic.

They’ll ‘support’ both like half their fanbase does.

Has he? Was known as a top player when he played, known as one now.

Just not a serious football club… yet they expect fans to cough up as if it was one.

Think there were a few dozen left in that camera side end block when they went off sale at 12pm… the other end block never went on sale.

Still waiting to hear from him how Adam Wharton is ‘far better’ (which is what started all this, not if he was better or otherwise than other top Ferguson era players, ‘better’ being if he won some internal club bauble… anyone would think he posted a throwaway silly comment and has tried to deflect since).

To be fair ‘nobody knew he was good’ so maybe that’s why they kept hold of him…

At least we got to keep Adam Wharton for a ‘good few years’, certainly wasn’t bundled out the door on the cheap after a few dozen starts (before he’d even turned 20).
