That's certainly better info than I was given last week, which was don't know, check the website... You must have a persuasive way with you!

I think the point is when it's the odd few it's OK, but when it's a more it's difficult to actually see the football with people passing by, especially if you are close to the exit points.

I beleive that is the funding (through grants) for all PL Enterprise Academies, not footballing ones. The University of Liverpool Management School estimates the cost to run a PL football academy to be £3-5m pounds a year.

I can see your point but I'm not so sure, why invest so much in the training ground if the goal was to maximise return on investment? Generally, those that pick up failing businesses, strip the fat and make them lean and profit making, certainly not interested in the extra frills which do little to add or maximise on the return. Currently, the training ground is adequate for the PL, perhaps a bit of investment to keep it at the high standard it already is, but why invest to make it the best at so much cost if you're only looking for a return?

I'm sure the Spurs fans were doing this to Arsenal fans only five games ago! I don't mind confidence but not the complacency or arragance when there is a chance of it to go pear shaped.

The people in this case are those from the club. That's their target - at least half the team coming from the academy.

West Ham nearly three down... Tomkins & Collins first game together at the back and Faye (their rock) not playing today... KUMB in melt down! Oh, apparently Phillips misses a sitter for Blackpool for an equaliser.

So when is the completion date?

Well I managed to upset a skate on the guardian... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/football-league-blog/2012/mar/23/football-league-weekender#start-of-comments

why did the egg cross the road?

PFC can have I think up to eight loan players (there are restrictions on some number must be under 24 and no more than five from one club), only five in the squad and only four on the pitch at any one time. Injuries and suspensions will take there toll as the games come thick and fast, Halford is only one booking away from a ban.

I wonder if his other wife thinks the same?? ;-)

Agree, we've been here before last season and so far this season it's on course for a positive outcome. It would be great if BFS was reduced to take a chance through the play-offs.

You missed it, that was about five pages ago!

Hypo will be pleased.

Certainly different to Newcastle's with Nile Ranger, up in the courts again for the third time this year!

Yep, still six wins for promotion!

Reading that you think how the hell can someone like Peter Storrie run a business, an inept buffoon and the Skates were singing his name from the terraces!

or do what Blackpool do and have contracts with a basic wage and a bonus system on how well they do - they made a loss going up, but that was cushioned by the PL money received and they didn't have to renegotiate the players contracts... do well, get the rewards or don't do well get no bonus!

Did PFC try to sell their golden share... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/mar/19/football-league-celtic-league-one

GKs are the exception, they'll be able to sign one if their current one gets injured or carded.

The first time we played Bristol City, they were top of the form table. The second time we were close to the bottom!

I'll start you off... Barnsley.

I was told he organises one every year... Whether you'd choose to believe it is another matter!

Are you planning on going to the Peterborough game?
