Over to you then.

OK guys, an opportunity to comment on a wider stage; over to you lot... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/oct/11/portsmouth-mansfield-upbeat-debts

If what FF says above is true, that should keep the pot bubbling..

What's itb meant to be, by the way? Is it student accommodation, as if it is that explains a lot!

Indeed. Typical play apparently according to the BBC website: "Martin Skrtel, more concerned with grappling with his man, inadvertently headed the ball against Dejan Lovren"

Is that wise, for all sorts of reasons? They'll realise that there is an ursine intelligence at work, with a disdain for poor writing style. The irony will explode their brains!

How's the heart, WG?

"Dont cry for me Pochetino"... It's going to be a difficult one to pitch.. Hang on, no, I've just sung it a 5th higher. But I do like it!

Rallyboy, you tease.. Will there be laughter from us involved?

It was mentioned down the pub last home game, and even the non-singers thought it a good one..

A wry one.

Trousers is to Twitter as DubaiPhil is to golf.:-)

Bit late now, but you could say 'Knock, knock' and see what happens!

After tonight I guess we may sell a few more tickets and fill in a few gaps in the crowd?

DP?

A Spitfire with invasion stripes came over my garden yesterday. He was looow: if I didn't know better I'd have said he was under 500'! :-)

12-12 so far at 'pool..

:-) That is very close!

I'm being lazy, but for the benefit of all of us, what are the odds EW?

Ya bast*rd. I went looking for it so I could post it on Facebook. I'll give you credit, don't worry.

That means we've got enough left over to expand the ground! :-)

Your experiment didn't work. Wonder if my wɑnker will.

:-)

I agree, and I suspect that the management probably appreciate this too. They must have statistics on the age profile of supporters, and no doubt would like to ensure that potential adult supporters don't drop off during their teenage/student years when money is more of an issue. If people are watching on TV why not watch a top team rather than your local side? It's visits to a live game that seal loyalties. It would be interesting to know if there are any other factors in the club's number crunching. Would a season or two in Europe make a difference, promising the extra capacity if the ground were to be used for a tournament, FFP shenanigans on the balance sheet? It would, after all, be a capital outlay with rather longer term implications than a new mid-fielder. So, it's not as clear-cut as some make out. After a reasonable start it will be interesting to see if the crowds pick up. I'm glad I've got a season ticket as it could end up a bit of a pain to get tickets for individual matches. I've done it in the past, but it wouldn't take much less commitment to take the attitude, 'blow it, I'll watch something down the pub'.

It's for people who can't get credit elsewhere... Oh.
