Hoskins’ goal in the Tranmere game that secured our promotion actually came from a Pinnock corner, not a throw (sorry)! I’ve just re-watched it. A fine goal it was, but no throw-in involved.
I thought so, I was also there...

I wonder how many clubs turn down a request from a team to change fixture dates? I doubt it's often, for the visiting club would never know when they might need the same favour doing. It's more likely one of those things you ask to be polite but don't expect to be refused.
It's not necessarily the changing of dates, it's more the lack of notice; for those who have already booked travel and/or accommodation and especially when a specific charity event had been planned well in advance? There must be a very good reason for the short notice agreement to the change?

Dramatic reduction in takings at The Bear , if he ever left! Are they his 'wheels' of choice, in blue, outside on the Google street view?

Yes, fantastic support. Puts a lot of us to shame. Who's his Prem team? A big acknowledgement to Dave, Jim and the rest of the regulars on the Teyn Away Days bus, who all assist him to keep safe and attending, especially at away games. The Arsenal

Not from the owners perspective they can’t. We don’t even know what the Trust Board plan was should the Cilldara bid have been successful during their partnership? Whatever it was it must have been good because it motivated them to embark on that process in the first place, which was highly provocative and full of potential consequences for both themselves and the members they represent, of which I’m one. How are you supposed to sit around a table and allow influence and opinion from a group who come from that position. A representative body who won’t reveal what their plans and intentions for the club were should the various possibilities have unfolded. Yet somehow fully expect to have a bearing on the opinion and decision making of the very same owners they sided against? Who knows what those plans and intentions may have led to and what the ultimate outcome would have been for the supporters and/or owners? According to the owners the Trust Boards actions resulted in considerable delays, costs and subsequent inconvenience to the club (as identified in their annual filed accounts, before someone starts waving their legal qualification around again. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00183917/filing-history. See Accounts for a small company made up to 30 June 2022. Page 4.) Within the influence of our Board we’ve got an “advisor” who apparently trotted off to speak with a club competitor without even notifying the chair of the Board of his motives or intentions first. This was revealed by the chair himself during an interview on Radio Northampton, when he was blindsided by that revelation. That ain’t the conduct of any legal advisor I’ve ever engaged with, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. (Poor old Radio Noddy has been on the receiving end ever since for revealing that little nugget on air). On top of this members have seen multiple board members resign and specify in writing their concerns over the influence this unelected guy has over the board as one of the reasons for resigning. In my capacity as a life member when I reiterated all this publicly, the comedy legal advisor interpreted there were grounds for defamation and threatened me with legal action unless I retract, you couldn’t make it up. Threatening members, berating and belittling Board members he’s engaged to advise, and this guy wants to spend his time lecturing others on how to conduct themselves appropriately, truly staggering. Yet despite this and the relentless rhetoric pumped out on social media by Board members and their “advisor” somehow the owners are supposed to forget all that and are unreasonable in their position of not wanting anything to do with these people. This is despite delivering on what they said they would do from the outset. If those involved really cared about the relationship between Trust and the club they would kick that “advisor” into touch, step aside and put the relationship between Trust and Club first. Because it’s glaring obvious that’s the only way the members of the Trust have the remotest chance of resurrecting the relationship. But it seems to me the current Board are more interested in protecting their own position. A position they are not even prepared to fully disclose to their own membership and the owners they seek to influence, despite at one time being highly motivated to carry whatever it was through. Goodwill my arse, you’re taking the píss mate. Succinctly put...

I think Deepcut's dad is a little older and probably more loyal. Keith attends every home and away game and has done for many years. Everbright's attendance is a little more sporadic but it is to be applauded nevertheless.
Correct, my Dad is 90, his first game was on 15 November 1947 v Notts County(and the match is on YouTube). He said that it would have been earlier if the 'little skirmish' in Europe and the World hadn't prevented him. He hadn't missed a match home or away, to my recollection for a long time, until Burton away when he was out with a knee injury but he's taken advantage of last weeks postponement and hopes to be match fit for tomorrow...

Unlike you to comment on Facebook rumours; plus transfer fees agreed as well. Some news is always welcome, it’s certainly more interesting than a cold indifference. Welcome DeepCut Lad! I've hunted for some information in order to get the thread back on topic and that's all that I could find...
