Boxing has become a truly marginalised sport since all the big fights went to PPV. Boxers are struggling for recognition so they will naturally use any means to up their profile. |

How likely is it to be able to get tickets for the London games in the home supporters, if you have an address which is nearer London than Ipswich? Does Fulham still have a "neutral zone"? |

Not so. We had won 3 League games out of 11, we weren't going to get automatic promotion, but McKenna realised that, signed Luongo, Broadhead & Clarke & the rest is history. Without that action in the window, we might still be languishing in the 3rd tier. That's what good managers do. |

Disagree. We have had several penalty kicks refused recently where there has been limited contact & IMO these are not penalty kicks, as long as this is applied consistently. Referees DO usually set a higher bar for a penalty kick, as they know many players go down in the box at the slightest hint of a touch. |

Yes, love to sign Omari permanently as I think he's a player whose value could increase considerably, but this will also require the co-operation of Chelsea, who might hang on until the end of the window, as many big PL clubs do, plus Omari & probably his agent, who will be telling him how much more money he can earn at club x or y. |

Harness has 1 year left on his contract (though Town have a 1 year option) so I think we might look to get rid to a middling Championship club, such as Pompey. |

No, the pension fund has a mix of steady, long term assets & a smaller number of riskier, speculative investments. Town is one of the latter. They have already strengthened their position by bringing in Bright Path (whom I am tempted to call "Shining Path"). who may well buy them out at some future stage. |

No, the stand debt was securitised against future season ticket income. However, we probably wouldn't have gone into admin but for the ITV Digital fiasco, which not only deprived Football League clubs of much needed income, but this also created a transfer market where almost every club was a forced seller. |

Your point about the many modern "fans" - who are really "followers & don't attend games - often having strange views is well made. I have friends who support Chelsea & Leeds & they are both convinced that because umpteen VAR decisions have gone against their team this season, this all must be part of some dark conspiracy against their club. Rather like the wild beliefs of many of Trump's followers that all the charges against him are part of some bigger conspiracy. And impossible to disprove, so the nonsense continues. |

I was at that game & the first 30 minutes were pretty dreadful. However, we picked up the pace in the last 15 minutes & as the players came off, I felt we would go on & win the game. Then, a load of boos rang out! I thought "fair enough if it had been 45 minutes of dross, but we got our act together near the end". Simon Milton put us ahead after 58 minutes, the floodgates opened & we won 5-1. Official attendance was 9,926. |

Yes. the first half of that debacle at Charlton was easily the worst 45 minutes I had seen from a Town team (but maybe surpassed by a few games in League 1 & the 7-1 shellacking at Posh). David Kerslake was all at sea at full back (I don't think he started ever again), David Whyte was anonymous (the Stockport game was the second of his 2 town games) & Dozzell was hopelessly off the pace ( he only played 2 more games). Fortunately, David Johnson II arrived shortly & we turned the season around. |

We haven't had the best players in the League this season - all 3 relegated clubs have better players than us. Apparently, we have the 16th highest wage bill in the league. Leicester & the 4 play off contenders have the 5 highest wage bills. But our mental strength & belief - gaining a huge number of points from losing positions & our willingness to keep going for the win - has been unbelievable & is a credit to McKenna and his team |

In 2019, Hill received an honorary degree from the University of East Anglia. But did he ever come to PR? He was originally from Manchester.
If he did, I guess he'd have come incognito. |

Moore is not at Hirst's level in terms of holding up the ball. McKenna may well be eying up other strikers, but they won't be cheap. |
