Snowflake Royal That's a pretty good post explaining your view.

+1 although I do wonder if someone has hacked his account or maybe he's drunk.

Seeing a few of our ex-players performing quite well recently I wondered how we might have done fielding a team of players who are still playing but making positive allowance for age in some cases. I needed to include loan players to get a decent squad so this is my recommendation (4-4-2):- McCarth...

in these current times, you can't blame a club for going in with a low offer - Remember when we sold Le Fondre for £1.6m because we had a tax bill to pay. If we have to sell to balance the books and nobody else is offering anything for anyone then we might have to take it seriously, which is what th...

Why would we be next ? It would be unlikely, but I wouldn't rule out us breaking financial fair play rules if the owner puts more money than is permitted into the club to ensure we don't go into administration. If a club could find itself in a position where the only two options were: 1) inject mon...

I wouldn't laugh we could be next. Along with others sadly this Covid is going to hit football very hard. Why would we be next ? It would be unlikely, but I wouldn't rule out us breaking financial fair play rules if the owner puts more money than is permitted into the club to ensure we don't go int...

I'll watch some of the iFollow and let the club keep the overpayment. My only gripe is that decision means I also forgo a refund on the Car Park Pass which is extortionate and, given the choice, I would have taken a refund on as it's exploitatively expensive I assume they're not stopping you from p...

The club website says all ST holders and some special* fans will get free ifollow usage to watch all remaining games. This is free and not at all linked to the ST holders decision to either donate, refund or receive a credit for the missed games. The donate part is interesting, Is this donate to th...

Personally, I wonder if ifollow will cope at their end with the sudden increase in users during lockdown Yep. They'll need to have invested significantly in additional servers etc to be able to cope with the increased traffic otherwise it's going to be a bit of a shambles. If iFollow cock this up a...

can you view your ifollow account on multiple devices? Trying to work out whether I need to register my kids with ifollow as well (they have season tickets) It is only allowed on one device, in "normal" times, so you will have to register separately if the rules are the still the same. Un...

Teams that were out of form with something to play for may come into the mini season full of energy and hope that their opponents are now out of form/lacking match practice. Teams with nothing to play for will, I assume, make the safety of their players/staff the only goal and minimise risk as much ...

Took me months to shake this defeat off. Never has a loss hurt quite like that one. What made it worse was that we had so many players out of contract and lost key players like Hislop and Osborn that summer. I was naive enough over the summer to think we'd replaced those key players with new signin...

I doubt we'll see helicopters at the ground again, firstly because the Army are not based locally/we don't have the contacts and secondly because of the Leicester owner's chopper crashing just outside their ground.

The first time the stretcher carrying golf buggy came on the pitch - it seemed to be on and off constantly until a change of policy, Maybe the embarrassment of being driven around the ground whilst trying not to fall off the stretcher was designed to stop opposition players time wasting? When they s...

The nodding choppers - Lynx and a Gazelle, one in each half of the pitch delivering the match ball (we may have had another delivery by Lynx only at another game), Thanks to the Army. The World Record height abseil from a helicopter (Sea King IIRC) Reading Half Marathon Parachute delivery of match b...

Amazingly, nothing found on the internet to prove this story about the sea king and the abseil into the ground. Nothing about the 2 helicopters either but I have a photo of that.

Another one I have in my mind was Mr Woo and then there was that jack Russell terrier who could control the ball really well. Both were around the early noughties at the Mad Stad. Anyone remember them? The Jack Russell was called Jake the Dog, the dog part was just his stage name. Those were the da...

Anyone for Uri 'I bend your spoon with my mind' Geller. Is it really true that he was invited to make a half-time team talk at Elm Park in the early / mid 90s? I am a bit too young to remember that. Only started watching us the season of the failed play-off final against Bolton in '95. There was on...

We currently have some of the worst fans in English football, some of them are a complete disgrace at away games. Loud, rude and deeply, deeply unfunny. everything is pretty much ok as long as it is based in good humour but we just seem to have a load of kids aged 16-25 who get drunk and drugged an...
