I can understand the Jay Rod interest and I would be surprised if he choose Celtic unless it releases Hooper for us?
IMHO we will sign nobody until July the 1st as it means we end up paying them wages just to sit on the beach.
However Adkins will agree several deals with football clubs and verbal agreements with some players until July.
Would be a better event If they had the players on the pitch doing 'The cross bar challenge'
chip in the bucket (Golf)
soccer skills knockout where the fans vote the best and maybe a charity match between the squad to entertain us with some show boating.
I would be pretty sure you would get thousands of fans coming for that on top of the trophy being presented and a video showing the season highlights.
Just my thoughts.
home to bed at midnight after watching Avengers at cinema
1-00am wake up
2-00am woken up
3-00am can't sleep
4-00am got up for cup of tea
5-00am hopefully back to bed for some kip PLEASE.
8-00am need to get up
9-00 onwards - Breakfast & kids over to the just for fun shop for 200 red and white balloons and a beach ball.
12-30pm the game and many emotions.
Apparently Adkins wants all the nervous ones to stay away until an hour before kick off as he did not want them to effect the more confident ones, So I reckon If you want to get ALL the players then be outside for 11-30.
I often thought Glenn Hoddle used to employ this tactic, so often we would invite the opposition onto us by defending deep and then we break away and score?
I believe we won 7 games on the trot 1-0.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.
Batter Coventry in the first 10 minutes by drilling every ball towards a 17 year old CB and watching Rickie put us 3 nil up? :-)
