Town In Five Added Time. on 21:26 - Aug 23 by Stenvict
No.
That's what highlights are for.
But how many times can you watch a player with headphones on reading the programme or shaking hands with a club worker in reception? Or the fitness guy doing the old “okay lads, side to side, then back to me.”
Kidding aside, the very best thing about Town in 5 is we have an incredible visual guide to the progress of the club over the last five years. Think the first one was either Fleetwood or Morecambe at home. Crappy pitch, 10k empty seats, raggedy stadium…. We’ve come a long way baby
Some broad smiles in the team there! The safe standing limbs of the North as Jack runs to the corner! They look ‘gelled’ off the pitch, which can only be good on the pitch! And some excellent energy from the fans, those 2 chaps, can’t tell if it was an upper tier, or Cobbold lower? Anyway, follow their lead! Things to work on: The announcer. Christ, he does the same schtick as they get off the coach!! No, just no. Hey Jude. It’s done. We have EEJB, ours. Otherwise, kin’ great!

I wish we could drop the pyrotechnics for daytime matches. I am not sure if they are a Premier League requirement. Burning those fossil fuels and creating all those fumes for fans to breathe in isn't great. Best to keep them for occasional night matches.
Also the gambling ads and animated spinning roulette wheel beside the pitch are not in line with the good work the club has done on mental health in recent years.

GON handing his bag off so he can high-five the kids. Anyone else usually fast forward the warmup footage and go straight to the goals?
No why would you, the goals is the stuff we’ve actually seen! Thats the entire point of the mini production isn’t it? The more behind the scenes stuff.
Looking at the club and what it’s trying to do on and off the pitch then thinking of where we were and what we were six years ago makes my head spin. Ok it’s not perfect. There’s so much to do, but these owners are not p£ssing about.
We’ve gone from Lambert mugging off an incompetent asset milking owner, then bomb squad lower league level, warm up in corridors and portacabins Cook to an evolving growing club.
Who could have dreamt of crowds of 29k when 10k less were sitting there watching dross - Douglas, Skuse and Hyam stumbling about or praying Ebanks Blake’s shorts didn’t split or Bullard remained sober enough to not land Chopra in a cell or worse.
On the pitch two years ago we played Liverpool. It was unreal. Never thought I’d see it again in my lifetime. But like nearly all the matches we really didn’t compete. We tried like hell. But it was like a L2 team in the Cup hanging on and hoping for the best. We never truly got to grips with it. We did yesterday.
Premier League pace is frightening. Size, physicality, skill, organisation. And we took up the challenge. We’ve a way to go but and we may well not survive, but I believe we will be a lot closer this time.
I was lucky to see that game yesterday. But it really isn’t about what the likes of myself see. I want the club to do well most of all for the young people. They’re the future and that’s what truly builds the club. It’s why they have to rebuild PR sooner rather than later. That’s a demonstration of just how far we’ve come since Clegg’s great achievement of painting the turnstiles
I hope the supporters in the ground continue to back the team as they did yesterday. You could taste the intensity and so could the team. It was great.
Isn’t the whole Cameron Humphries thing getting a bit embarrassing now, he’s like a mascot or something.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I like the fireworks and smoke, adds to the occasion. Most PL clubs do have all that now.
Regarding the ads most of them will be Premier League sponsors so have to be shown.

Just imagine what a Town in Five from the 1977-1981 era would be like.
They’d be very short. Steak n chips lunch, maybe a pint, read the Racing News, quick kick around in the gym, check racing results before going out, Butcher yells, Mariner bangs on opposition dressing room door, Entry of The Gladiators plays, camera scansto North Stand and police dividing line, single mascot take pen. Kick off, , half time, players sprint of to get result of 3.45 at Lingfield. 2nd half, Brazil, Gates, Wark score, victory. Quick shower, players warm down in Blooming Fushia. That would make excellent viewing!
