The current team produced automatic promotion form for three quarters of last season. All we seem to have lost from that team so far is the right back (who wasn't all that good anyway) and a couple of subs.
There are alternatives though. Park by the bridge over in Woolston for free, and get the bus for a quid straight to SMS. Bit more walking going back, as you'd need to walk to the bridge, but some of the SFC car parks are that far away anyway. Park somewhere for free and get a taxi? I wouldn't want people to stop going to matches because of this.
Maybe that's why they favour the microchip option. It's automatic, just sends a beep to the ref. No video, no possibility of looking at other potential offences.
That makes sense. It was probably part of the planning deal, in the same vein as the subsidised buses. Having set a precedent by abolishing those a couple of years back, this just follows on from that.
You might think this is a clever idea, but you've failed to think of one vital point. What if the ball goes over the line above ground level, and is cleared back out before it comes down?

Either that, or they've outsourced the article writing to India.
