Whitey Grandad

That's all right, then. For a moment I was worried.

That looks frightening. Did I see that they couldn't put out a full bench the other night?

Local talk also says that the staff have been 'warned' that they may be paid late this month. Some staff haven't been paid for a couple of months. Some are leaving for other jobs, others are hanging on (unpaid) in the hope that they'll get statutory payments when the ship sinks.

He's injured, according to a local supporter I spoke to this afternoon.

I went past their 'Megastore' late this afternoon. There are big red posters with 'SALE' written all over them. Well there's a surprise.

We have never really controlled the midfield in any games that I have seen this season so one or two proper midfield playmakers would come in very useful. Like you, I would prefer a settled team, but we have lost Trottman and I would rather build for the long-term.

That's wonderful news, Hamster. Please pass on my good wishes to your missus. My wife and I met when we were both 16 and in September we shall have been married for 40 years. Every time I look at her I think how lucky I am and I would not have changed her for the world. We have raised two children and we have six grandchildren and we have two lifetimes of shared experiences to keep us together. Treasure every moment that you have, try not to have cross words with each other, hold hands, smile, remember the important things. Life is short and there's so much to see and so much to learn. The world is a beautiful place, full of beautiful people and it is a privilege to be allowed to be a part of it, especially if you can share it with the one you love. Keep smiling through.

"at least" ??? Isn't that more than the stadium record?

As I understand it, phone calls still work, don't they?

His free-kick against Ipswich was spilled to Antonio.

So, lose the next 4 and win the last 16 it is, then.

"If supporters cannot make the Walsall game, other fixtures can be chosen at the discretion of the supporter." (not available online) Any game before the end of the season, I would say.

Rule 15 (g): "(g) A substitute who does not play in a match is entitled to play for another Club in the Competition in the same season"

and "Thank f**k its Friday" "Thank f**k it's Friday" I saw an advertising sign at Dean Court a couple of weeks ago offering design services. The last line read: "Improve your companies image"

With tickets at £30/£28 it may be a struggle to sell them all. We shall see.

True, although I will point out that the Kop at Anfield is the other end to the away supporters.

Ticket prices must be mutually agreed between the two clubs, so perhaps we can blame the bankrupts for this one.

£5 off for senior/young adults

Each club gets £247,500 TV money. If you're paying half a million you get to say when it happens, I'm afraid.

It's great to hear that there will be meetings and consultation. I have a couple of points: Aren't the away fans in the the Itchen / Northam corner for easy access to their coaches and ticket office collections? The queues for pies and pints are enough to deter any but the hardened participators. Anything that can be done to reduce them would be fantastic. How about having indiviidual accounts for each supporter with a direct-debit setup (similar to Paypal) to make paying for tickets easier and quicker?

Thanks for the insight. It reinforces what we all knew and thought, that we had a poor start to the season. I also think that we have, quite understandably, had too many changes in the team to reach any consistency, and that AP is still working towards finding his best 11 players. The cup wins show that there is now a great spirit in the club and for the first time in years we are moving upwards, albeit at a slower pace than some would desire.

'...and slow start...'

What do we want? - Instant gratification! When do we want it? - Now!
