Thread | To bring everyone down - some advice please
at 12:06 1 May 2024
Hi all,
Everything is bittersweet for me at the moment, the greatest time to be a Town fan in 20 plus years has been tainted by my wife deciding to end our marriage. So this being quite an alien concept having come somewhat out of the blue, I have no idea what I’m doing. The advice I’m getting is about 30 years out of date or from people who’s circumstances were different (no kids), so where better to get advice than football forum that is full of wisdom it seems.
Does anyone here have experiences to share (understand it’s a sensitive subject) or local solicitors they can recommend etc?
Thanks

Thread | Disabled Parking
at 16:08 18 Feb 2024
After a bit of advice please.
My mum has tickets in the SBR suite for Tuesday, she suffers from MND and struggles to walk distances. She’s got a blue badge and is planning on parking in Portman Road car park, but the entrance is now through where Staples used to be and I’m concerned that she won’t be able to walk that far to get round.
Does anyone know if there is disabled parking closer than the Portman Road car park or if they would open the gate on Portman Road to allow access that way? Another option is whether the club have disabled parking too, but assume they don’t due to the high demand.
Before I get the Gatwick answers, she has to be there at 17.00, so will be too early for the shuttle busses from there. |

Thread | Saudi investment in sport/sportswashing
at 10:41 2 Jul 2023
Where does it stop and was there not a lesson to learn from the whole Russia debacle?
Golf as a sport has sold its soul to them. If you’re LGBTQ+ professional golfer (or just are against the Saudi regime), where do you ply your trade?
Can see their investment in Newcastle being longish term (a la Man City) but can’t see the Saudi Pro League being anything more than a Chinese Super League spin off. What is the goal in bringing these big names somewhere that people won’t visit?
They host major events like Formula One & Boxing and there are rumours of main tour tennis tournaments heading there. None of these seem to draw tourism though, with small attendances & seemingly local attendees. Again, are they trying to angle for tourism market, but at the same time not compromising their beliefs (like Qatar & the alcohol selling).
All of the above (apart from the Golf investment) was done by Russia & Putin prior to them becoming a pariah state for their invasion into Ukraine. It just seems set for another issue were Saudi to invade say, Yemen where they already have a heavy military footprint, or Israel which would perhaps make more people sit up & take note. |
