So what are we all doing on Saturday??
at 17:33 18 Apr 2024

Signalling training up on the North Norfolk Railway



Just the two trains in operation on Saturday, so probably a lot of time spent sitting and chatting with my mentor, drinking coffee, and doing crosswords.

Followed by the traditional dance of the 'Football Lads' - pogoing with arms outstretched behind a line of police.

Looking for a distraction from ITFC permutations?

Agreed - absolutely superb.

Currently six episodes in and at a complete loss as to how they're going to resolve the multiple threads over the next two hours.

It's strange watching it, having played the games. It feels very weird spotting all the little bits and pieces that you'd ordinarily consider to be easter eggs, and then realising that it's just as a result of them having stuck so faithfully to the source material.

Pre match tune

I've always felt that this would be a cracking addition to the pre-match repertoire:

Blue Action query - Huddersfield game TIFO?

Why not just a big banner saying "You did your best"?

Can be read either way, depending on the occasion, and would only be mildly patronising.

Does it get much more 1980s than this?

But, at the same time, News Corp maintains its position of not having been found guilty in any of these cases. Exactly the same principle as Prince Nonce paying off Victoria Giuffre. There's nothing on official record stating that they did what they're alleged to have done.

If Town were beating Nodge 20-0 and they had a young keeper in goal
at 15:43 16 Apr 2024

Regardless of the team, definitely have the players hold off. Probably have them hold off once the game is out of sight at 5/6-0 or suchlike.

There's a massive difference between running up the score against senior pros, and running up the score against a young kid (potentially) making their debut.

Beachiest team ever?
at 13:27 16 Apr 2024

Was chatting about this at the weekend with a mate who supports Barnet.

It does seem a very Paul Cook state of affairs - "you've got the job done, lads. Just go out and have some fun in the remaining games, you've earned it."

Can't imagine a KMc team doing anything like that in similar circumstances.

This ban on smoking
at 11:14 16 Apr 2024

You're probably not far wrong about the tobacco industry.

The number of disingenuous adverts I’ve seen on social media, trying to argue that the ban will stop 50-year-old Gary from exercising his freedom of choice suggests that they’re pumping millions into opposing any sort of legislation.

If we end up in the POs v Norwich - home game likely to be moved...

Do safety certificates not come into play as well?

With Suffolk Constabulary forming part of the Safety Advisory Group, could they potentially refuse to issue a safety certificate for the match if they feel that the club is not listening to their advice on safety matters?

Another Davis assist
at 20:12 15 Apr 2024

Any thoughts on what our position is likely to be if we don't go up and the market is depressed?

I'd like to think that we'd hold on if nobody meets our valuation. Or is it more a case of us not having much of a choice in the matter?

Harwood- Bellis is on the shopping list apparently
at 09:13 15 Apr 2024

I can't see that he has.

Highest level he's ever played has been in the Championship for Bristol City (3 appearances, no goals), Peterborough (36:6), and Blackburn (75:29).

Even in lower divisions he's never scored more than 15 in a season before.

Anyone looking for a 3 bed home in Ipswich?

Although this seems to be the kicker:

https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/23678986.ipswich-reaction-churchman-house-con

Looks like flammable cladding to me and, assuming that Croft has probably invested a chunk of his career earnings into a property portfolio, he probably won't qualify for help with the remediation costs (Qualifying Leaseholders must either have the property as their principal residence, or own no more than three dwellings in the UK). I'm not sure whether an incoming buyer would benefit from the BSA protections if the vendor doesn't benefit.

Hmm...

"Tenure

Believed to be freehold, awaiting solicitors' formal confirmation. All interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries."


Generally this is estate agent speak for 'we know it's leasehold and, if we gave you full details of the lease length, ground rent, and service charge, you'd run a f**king mile. Best to wait for you to instruct solicitors and start spending money on the place before you get the bad news.

That's my concern entirely. This strikes me as a bit of a Daryl Murphy season for him in the context of his previous performance.

No indication that he will replicate this season at Championship level, and even less indication that he'll be a significant asset in a higher league.

That said, I appreciate that the Town setup looks at things very differently. If the club want him and were able to obtain him on reasonable terms, I'd certainly trust their judgement.

Town v Huddersfield.
at 22:45 13 Apr 2024

See Coventry v Morecambe a few seasons back.

A draw guaranteed the playoffs for Coventry, and L2 survival for Morecambe. They played out a 0-0 bore draw which ended up relegating Barnet instead.

Looking at it rationally, it would feel like the logical option if both teams are well-served by a draw.

Why risk a £100m payday, or the financial cliff-edge that is relegation to League 1, by doing anything other than having a friendly kick-about?
