What CND brigade. We have a majority of nuclear in France along with some Hydraulic. Nobody moans about it and certainly nobody moans about the cost. Seeing as they moan about everything else it must be a bit of alright.

Eolians are pretty noisy,would certainly drown their fans out. Your average wind turbine arm makes about as much noise as a chain saw.

I was just trying the lighten up the discussion.

Our kettle is 1.5 KW, so you'd need about 285 to make up the same wattage as the floodlights. Mind you there are no doubt more powerful ones around.

Are UK energy prices really that high. Need some Nuclear then. In France 3p/KWh off peak (8 hours/day) 6p/KWh peak. But the the bigger your 'installation' the bigger your fixed charge is. Domestic 9 KW is about a tenner a month.

Not sure that you're right. Could be though.

Works out at about £80 quid a game, can't be right. 218x2Kx2 (hours) =872 kw/hoursx0.10£= 87.20£

roberston is injured. Front pair =McG and BWP. Unless Paterson gets a full game.

Lancashire is suspended. I don't think Pekhart figures in our plans any more, not as a starter anyway. Must be some sort of problem with him. May even see Gasmi on the bench, don't think he'll get a game though. tr

Fabregas is 21,C Ronaldo is 23,Beckham started playing for England (not the U21s ) at 20. Kid's in football now are 16.

About 10000 .

See than Jan has put out his usual pre-match piece on the OS. Some info in there: No Gillet or Robertson, both injured apparently. Probably explains Robertson's absence last Saturday, hamstring . Smith back in squad. We're looking for more presence in the box. That's about it. I'm quite pleased Gillett isn't getting a game, I just don't rate him in any way whatsoever.

Very well done, you're stopping fairies dying as well.

And we saved a bit on Burley I suppose. It could well be that we don't actually give all the money to players and coaches who were actually still here in that period. I understand that it is fairly common practice to continue paying up the contracts of sacked managers as if they were still on the payroll. Wigley would be the only one in that hypothesis I suppose. So all in all we reduced nothing in the last 6.5 months of the year, despite dire warnings from the execs that it was an absolute priority. I just can't help thinking that if we hadn't wasted time (and probably money) on Dodd and Gorman we'd be in a different configuration even now; If we hadn't been odds on favourites to go down (and into financial oblivion) on the last day ,would Lowe and Wilde have obtained enough support for their "comeback"? If we'd been sitting pretty mid table with a manager getting consistent decent results it might have been so different,even now. Should have got Davies or even Micky Adams in the first place. Bad bad decision.

Season ticket holders will be counted in the attendance whether they go or not.

Peanuts for sure, but they get Sky money, we don't. The player/coach wage bill and the stadium payments exceeded our revenues last year. It's relative really. If we didn't have any office staff, travelling expenses,rates,overdraft charges,academy,electricity bills,ground staff,stewards,policing,shops,printing costs or whatever, we'd be just fine . So if Messrs the players would care to drive themselves to matches (at their own cost) and the supporters would care to put their £24 quids into the tin buckets provided at the gates for the purpose and behave themselves, even if they can't see the game because there are no lights, well ,we'll be AOK.

If I remember rightly it was something to do with it being boxed in by residential areas and main roads. You'd have to ask the experts about it. Someone in town planning or surveying. BTF perhaps?

The Dell wasn't "developable".

Nope , think the Milton was still the place at that period. Could be than the 'balance of power" was shifting though. The family cage changed a lot, can't remember when they took away the choccyboxes though.

We'll see when the accounts come out won't we. Other than that it's just hearsay to date. The first half of 2007/8 showed a "players and coach salary bill of about 6.1 million (before NHS and pension charges)" Rasiak and Skacel were farmed out, Davies was added (although he'd been here on loan already) Burley left half way through the second part of the exercise,Gorman and Dodd then Pearson replaced him. There were loans in the first period and again in the second period. Whether the loans on R Wright,Lucketti,Pearce,O Halloran,Pericard and Perry will amount to those in the first half I wouldn't like to say. The accounts will be out shortly I suppose we'll then be able to discern between Urban Myth and Hard Fact.

In your day perhaps. Ask the senior fans here though. It was the "Milton Boot Boys" never the "Archers Boot Boys" I'm sure some saint's historian will be able to explain to us the reason for the shift in the hardcore support. Probably because of the family enclose and the demise of the chocolate boxes;

It would seem to me that virtually all club going into administration in the last couple of years get an initial deduction of 10 pts and then another whack in the season afterwards.The FA seem to find a contravention for everybody so that you get hit twice. I see Bournemouth are still on -4 points this season in addition to the -10 they got last season. Administration IS undesirable,not that it will stop people who 'know things' harping on about it though. Administration can knock you 2 steps back on the snakes and ladders board these days.

It all started when they let families into the Milton and knocked down the Chocolate boxes. We could get 31044 into the Dell before they started with their stupid rules about standing and making football a "family outing". Clear as day. Archers=Away fans behind the goals, better behaved Saints fans in the wings. Under Stands Occasionals and people too fat for the Milton Stands Old Folks, Toffs and Kids on Birthday treats. Milton. Hard core -real fans That was football, bugger sitting down and behaving yourself.
