Re: Bus Services to Mad Stad Axed

Would that make things better in any way ? You are the one that asked what the logic was in a tiny number of people getting a subsidy from the club. Do any of the buses run at a profit? Or does the club subsidise all the services? Each bus has about 70 people out of a crowd of 20000, so is a tiny n...

Re: Bus Services to Mad Stad Axed

Typically short-sighted approach from the club, if it doesn't make money there isn't any point to it . I'd wager this might put off some of the more casual fans from the outlying areas, remember you aren't just losing their ticket money, you are losing the money they pay for the rankerous refreshme...

Re: The summer transfer thread

Bramble has been pretty solid the last few years, in fact I would go as far as to describe him as being a top class centre back for Wigan under Bruce. Titus>>>>>Anton without a doubt. Despite my LOL post above, I actually agree with this. 90% of the time Bramble is a very sold defender. He's been s...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

Fcuking hell. If someone breaks the law, they've committed a crime whether or not they are prosecuted. Can't believe this argument is even happening. Don't worry, I've won now. You may have won 'your' arguement. But only by ignoring mine ! You'll go far in politics. Sadly :wink: Interesting you sta...

Oh yeah, and the following is in the news: "So far training has been different class,'' explained Tate. "It's been really enjoyable and a lot different to last season. "Everything is a lot shorter and sharper with more football fitness, which is what we need. So, he's cut down fitnes...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

No we're not. Let's follow the process: 1. Someone acts in a way that is defined in law as a crime. Two options: a) They get reported/caught and convicted - result: a crime has been committed, and the person has been convicted of that crime. Guilty in the eyes of the state/law b) They don't get rep...

Re: POLL - What are your expectations this season?

I wish I shared the optimism of some of you. Sadly, I have seen it all before and I believe we have now reached the limit of Mr Mad's ambition. The latest admission by BMcD that no more transfer funds will be made available and the lack of bids to resecure the services of Zurab and Ryan show that, ...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

The crime itself is the action (or omission in some codes of law). Just because it's not reported doesn't stop it being a crime. It just means that it's an unreported crime. Crime =/= conviction. If it's a crime at the time it's committed then why the need for conviction ? That is what establishes ...

Will Williams be forced to surrender his number 3 shirt ?

Bertrand could comfortably play in midfield, although we're not too short there !!

Re: Bus Services to Mad Stad Axed

Those of you that never used the bus really cannot comment on the convenience or inconvenience of the removal of this service and the alternative transport options on offer. I have had a post now for around 24 hours if people that used the Bracknell service and would be interested in some sort of r...

Re: POLL - What are your expectations this season?

Only one fully fit left back in Marcus Williams, with Chris Armstrong looking doubtful for a return to football. Only three recognised centre backs; one of whom is injury prone, the other of whom is young, slow and inexperienced and the third is red-card prone. How many left backs did we have last ...

Re: Bus Services to Mad Stad Axed

Silver Fox I'm a bit confused, there's a pretty regular bus service between Brackers and Reading isn't there?


Half hourly trains too...

While possibly a little less convenient anyone wanting to come to games from Bracknell is hardly being cut off with no options.

Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

I'd go for 2 strikes in 10 years and you're out. Such a rule isn't really getting to the heart of the problem. Some clubs find themselves in a mess despite their best intentions to avoid debt. I don't think those clubs should be punished so severely. It's only the ones who have shown no financial r...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

It's nothing like and a thought crime!!! I'm talking about actual actions and breaking the law, which is pretty much what Big Foot was as well, or at least that's how everyone else seems to have taken it. You'd have a stronger case if you decided to argue that no crime has been committed until a ju...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

You were replying to Big Foots 'so unreported crime is not a crime comment' though, which is obviously not the case. No, he was responding to my comment. Your use of 'obviously' is clearly misplaced.... Nice use of the 'effectively' to try and dig your way out though, although I'd still say that th...

Re: How are Barca not being done for tapping up?

It's still a crime though, even if in that example you can't prosecute without the victims complaint. There's a difference between it being a crime, and being a crime you can prove or prosecute. If I stole your car but you were too stubborn to report it because you thought it was unstealable, I'd s...
