Because he's not the future if we have Premier League ambitions. |

Charles' hand isn't looking too clever either. That's quite a striking shade of puce he's modelling there. |

Why didn't we play Burgess up front? Absolute striker's finish, that! |

With their conduct over the last 24hrs, one would hope that TVP have gone and put their insurers on notice. Could be some pretty hefty claims incoming. |

Unless they're committing a crime (which, by my understanding, they weren't) there's little the authorities can legally do.
Sure, they could find a way of blocking the projection, or suggest to the hotel that they find grounds within their T&Cs to turf them out, but to arrest them in order to spare Trump's blushes is scarily Orwellian. |

I can't even find any legislative basis for 'unauthorised projections'.
If that was the case, you'd have thought that the LBD crew would have been arrested far more frequently before now, given that 'unauthorised projections' are very much their MO. |

I'm sure that's happened up at Carrow Road as well in the past? I know that, in the past, I've had to use my driving licence to prove that I live in Norwich, and not get forced onto the Ipswich train. |

I'm pretty sure I've had no issue training it back up to Norwich post-match in the past. Although that will have been pre-2019.
I assume they still have the two 'lanes' leading back up to the station, which then disgorge everyone out into the station in a bit of a free-for-all? Given that the Norwich trains depart from Platform 3, with the Cambridge/Bury/Peterborough services departing from Platform 4, I can see that it would be a hell of a job stopping Town fans from accessing Platform 3. |

If you're concerned about it, just pop a jumper or a jacket over the top. You'll be far from the only person (outwardly, at least) using the train for non-footballing purposes.
Otherwise take a look at the train times, and get yourself onto one of the services that stops at Diss and Stowmarket. I seem to recall that GA operate one or two services on derby days that run direct from Norwich to Ipswich in order to minimise the perceived risk of the fans mingling. |

Thanks for all the input folks - even if it's bum news, it's good (if that can ever be the right word here!) to know that we're not necessarily barking up the wrong tree.
Really appreciate it. |

Thread | Pancreatic cancer...
at 20:59 16 Sep 2025
Can anyone offer any advice here please?
Long story short, my great aunt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April of last year, underwent surgery, and apparently was given the all clear. My sister and I, however, aren't necessarily convinced this is the actual version of events, given the current state of affairs.
We completely appreciate why she may have chosen to keep it to herself, and know that it will have been done from a place of the utmost love and care, but it makes deciphering things bloody difficult!
For a bit more context...
She was diagnosed back in April 2024 and underwent surgery (a 'Whipple Procedure'), which seemed to do the trick. She struggled a bit in recovering her mobility, and still hasn't really got back to eating properly. She's still fed through a tube, which is keeping her in residential care.
A few months back she, having been convalescing in Chislehurst, moved up to Ipswich to continue her care and be closer to family. She's lost a hell of a lot of weight over the months (albeit she's now at a broadly healthy weight, compared to the mobidly obese Great Aunt that I've known throughout my years on the planet), but has got her mobility back and, when the wife and I visited her in July, was more mobile and spritely than she's ever been, and was talking of trying to get out of the home sooner rather than later (with the eating seemingly being the only thing tying her there), selling her flat in London, and moving up to a bungalow in Ipswich. So far so good, and so incredibly positive.
But...
She was admitted to hospital at the tail end of last week suffering with abdominal pains and passing blood. She's currently in the Capel ward at Heath Road, apparently incredibly weak, and refusing visitors. From the limited research I've done, it does sound as if pancreatic cancer is one of those nasty ones that can just decide that your time has come at the flick of a switch.
I'm just struggling to get my head around it all, and work out what it all may be. She's 72, been incredibly overweight for the thick end of 30 years, smoked most of her life, and probably hasn't lived the healthiest lifestyle, so the deck is rather stacked against her.
She's also the kind of person that, if she'd received the news last year that the operation hadn't been entirely successful and had only, perhaps, bought her another twelve months, would have kept that under her hat, tried to have the best final year possible, and not want to worry us all with knowledge of her impending demise.
So... for those of you who know about such things from either personal experience or from your medical knowledge, does this sound very much like an end-game situation? Or could it just be an unfortunate coincidence of symptoms and timing? [Post edited 16 Sep 21:11]
