Perraud missed the last couple of games of the season with a broken leg, I'd assume that's a fairly genuine injury

My understanding is that Lancashire would still need to be registered in order to be eligible for the B team.

He doesn't know his arsehole from his elbow. Seems to have this weird belief that having a 5-minute runaround at the end of your dad's testimonial match when you're ten years old qualifies you as some sort of expert.

There are certainly a number of B Team games: July 9th: Frome Town (A) 13th: Cartegena (N) 17th: Villarreal B (N) 23rd: Wycombe Wanderers (N - not sure if the OS has a typo as it's saying the game is in Frome...) 26th: Eastleigh (A) 30th: Watford U23s (H - Staplewood) August 2nd: AFC Totton (A)

Shame we don't bother with any proper local games against League Two (a few options - Crawley, Wimbledon, Sutton) or non-league to ease the players into pre-season anymore. Would have been pretty easy to give two separate XIs 45 minutes against a much lower standard for the fitness and just getting back into the match environment and mentality.

It's really difficult to put much context on these figures, though - we are at the top end of the most expensive and the bottom end of the cheapest, so are we expensive or cheap? We know that the expensive ones are one single block in the Kingsland (less than 1000 tickets), and the cheapest are, what, 4 blocks in the corner? There should be some sort of independently-verified study which provides the median season ticket price for each club, so people who want to lament the insanity of it all can't just use the most expensive prices as justification for their arguments, while the clubs themselves can't just say "we've got these really cheap tickets, what are you complaining about" when some of them have probably offered them for seats sat in the burger kiosk.

They announced both Stephens and McCarthy's previously-signed contract extensions in the retained list news article.

Strange how this commitment doesn't extend to providing sustainable transport options for anyone attending the ground, meaning that single lane road (with cars parked either side) gets clogged up with cars idling and spewing emissions into the air, largely negating all the other good environmental work the club does.

All our games in this competition are away from home.

Money to be made there if you're confident that we'll be even vaguely competent over the course of the season, tbh, although that line might drop after the first 5 games so could be worth waiting it out to see if we drop to 35 or 36 before buying...

The way people have been going on, you'd have thought Surrey were about 40 points clear. The gap is 3 points, and if we were to level them we'd be ahead on number of wins. If only we hadn't done our annual roll over at the Oval...

Annoying, I came in here to make the same gag

Gambling, certainly, as it looks like it might even be legislated against in terms of shirt advertising. Crypto has a while to go yet, I suspect - basically until someone big gets properly scammed...

Christ

Early 00s, I meant

Nah, we lost 1-0 to them in the early 90s. Steve Marlet - who was their record signing, I think, but barely scored, which is all rather predictable - got the only goal.

Yep, two seasons in League One, JPT area final and FA Cup 3rd Round

But we've definitely beaten Brighton (Championship season) and played them more than 5 times (8, I think)

Wonder if Q5 is someone like Bolton - can't remember us beating them at SMS

Q8 will be Son and Lukaku, I reckon

Every ground has that problem, tbf. Someone should put an FOI request into the Hampshire Constabulary, as they are required to know the exact number of people physically in the ground for games whereas the club can announce the number of tickets sold as the attendance (it's a common practice most clubs use). I remember a national paper did this for all the PL grounds one season and Arsenal averaged at least 5k below the attendances they were announcing on matchday.

Blocks 42-44 also available now.

Northam blocks 45 and 46 now available - I guess they must have sold the entire Itchen, which probably isn't that much of a surprise considering the tickets are free, there's no huge obligation on anybody to actually turn up...

It\s definitely a caching issue either within your browser or your network (possibly via your router) - when the software update was run, there were some changes to some of the scripts that power the post editor, to the extent that using the previous version of the script would mean the editor doesn't work. There are a number of different things that can be tried to force the new version of the script to be used in your browser. Firstly, on a desktop browser (this is usually unavailable on mobile), open the Developer Tools window on any post on the forum (the problem might not show on pages where the editor isn't used) and do a "hard" refresh - usually Ctrl + F5 on Windows, Cmd + R on macOS. The Developer Tools console will probably show an error message in red, probably about a function not existing. Secondly, log out of your user account and delete ALL cookies and cache files connected to this site. Close your browser completely, re-open it and try accessing the site again. Thirdly, clear your DNS cache - https://constellix.com/news/how-to-flush-dns-cache-windows-mac Fourthly, reboot your router The files have a 14-day expiry on them in the cache, so your browser should request a new copy of it after 14 days.

Obviously the joke is on you as I don't have a cat, but has the issue now been resolved for you, @Convict Colony and @OttawaSaint?
