I suspect that the public knowledge that NTFC have £500k+ in their bank account thanks to the cup run doesn't particularly help the negotiation strategy...

Rubbish first half, lucky to  be ahead let alone 2-0 up at the break. Morecambe should've scored at least one of their chances and were let down by poor finishing. Their GK was hopeless as well.

Second half was better, Lines' goal was exceptional and we could've run riot at the end as they ran out of steam.

Atmosphere was absolutely dire for about the first 65 mins. No idea what Radio Numpty were talking about saying it was loud.

But it would have been very easy to double the non STH tickets up with tickets for the Sc***horpe game on Tues 28th. They could have done a bit of a bargain, buy Derby and Scunny tickets for £40 and only sold them on Weds, Thurs & Friday and , from Saturday onwards sell the remaining, if there are any, Derby tickets.

I'm so glad that the trust is nowhere near the running of the club.

If we are going to cement a top 7 place we really need to be looking for more quality in several positions, particularly LWB and strikers/attacking areas.

A supporter friend sent me this link today which I would say is not untypical of the views of many even 4 years after KT arrived:

‪Suspect Simon was saying “but he saved the club” around September / October 2015.

Not that the current ownership or status of the club are anywhere near in the same ballpark in any way, but the point remains that 99% of supporters of NTFC will be happy as long as they have a FL club for their Saturday afternoon routine to keep going until they’re pushing daisies.

Anything transformational such as safe standing just doesn’t register.

I would be surprised if the "plans" were not the ones shown to the Trust over a year ago which were, basically, the completion of what is standing there at the moment and dated 2015. They were not drawings you could give to a builder and say "build that please". But I could be wrong and there have been new drawings done.

Hang on, you guys spent the last 18 months issuing statements saying you hadn’t seen any plans. Now you’re saying you saw them over a year ago.

Of course our cup run means that Cheltenham away will need to be rescheduled for a Tuesday night.

£150k broadcast fee.

If it was on BBC I doubt we would fill the home areas of the ground at normal matchday prices. BT, maybe just about depending on kick off time and day.

FYI the 5th round is on Wednesday 4th March as all ties are being played midweek, so those hoping for an easier 4th round tie in order to get a big away day later on should consider this.

Horrible goalkeeper error for the Mansfield goal looking at the highlights.

It is Wednesday 18th December

Just posted this to see if you disagree, after all I am on the Trust board, so in your eyes it MUST be wrong.
Normal people will read a post and take a balanced view on the content, not just jump in and disagree because you don't like the person, maybe you could try it  

Oh come on Roger, I don't hold anything personal against anyone in cyberspace, life is far too short. It's just a gentle bit of mickey taking.

Well when we're community owned we'll be able to have a 9 floor free-to-use multiplex car park with omnidirectional exits, fully costed and paid for by the subs that the 30 strong first team squad (all from within the NN postcode region) will pay.

Jobsworth, really ?
If they are parked illegally then they are parked illegally,  no excuses. The bloke was doing his job, if they parked in the correct places the warden wouldn't need to be there would he, it's not rocket science is it. Again I state, people are too lazy to walk, too mean to pay or both, then complain like scalded children because they get caught, pathetic.

Completely agree with this. Don't park on double yellows, don't get a ticket. Simple.

Fully support them giving tickets to people parking all over the verges where there are clear double yellow lines.

I have known Uncle Brian since his Plessey days
He does get carried away if the game goes badly for us. To ban him is very harsh; if he is caught bad mouthing players, or even worse racial aggravated comments then he can't complain if he is banned for a short time. He has been supporting the Cobblers H & A for 50 years foul weather or not. I always exchange pleasantries with him whenever we meet up.
My abiding memory of him is a game at Cheltenham where every woman within 30yds  moved away - poor darlings. He Is a fixture to me!

"I don't mind racists, as long as they are nice to me".

Nice to get some minutes in to the squad players just before the Xmas period, and avoid fixture congestion later in the season.

I have never seen so many man-children in one place.

Funny old game. They should’ve gone 1-0 as they had some really clear cut chances, and in just about our only attack up to that point we had a blatant penalty not given.

Yet as soon as we got the first goal it was a different story and their fragile confidence started to become clearer as the game carried on. Our game management has generally improved a heck of a lot too.

Cricket in Aussie-land calls that sledging.

It has been a part of sport (professional and amateur) since it became a public art during the "Bodyline" series.

It's all fair game to me.

Whilst footballing or cricketing, have you never had someone ask you where your Missus is, just as a free-kick is whipped in? Or you face the first ball to a new bowler?

Or, been told that your daughter had it up the rrrrssss last night?

Or, been told that your LGBT leanings are wrong?

Until the World & UK Law changes, these are part of what makes Harry Kane captain of England, and sensitive us prickly at bad things said.

The world is a **** place.
