1  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Pinnock long throw on: Today at 11:27:34
The trouble with a long throw verses a cross is that a cross can be whipped in. Very often a long throw is reliant on someone winning a flick on or has lost any pace by the time it reaches the danger area. If you are a really tall team who are dominant in the air, with someone who can throw it in with pace it is a good approach. If that was the case we would have scored a few goals from them by now.

Little incentive to invest in youth academies when the elite clubs can poach your best talent for a minimal sum before they've even played a professional game.

I dunno, £750k for a kid from NSB wasn't too shabby.

Lot of discussion when no one has actually said they'd rather us be in L2  Grin

You do know we lose around £1M per year don't you?

All pretty relative and a decent performance. What we do need is more success from our youth set up to get a few more big figure sales.
You won't find many clubs in L1/2 turning a profit or even breaking even.

He’s soon resolved the gender debate.  Grin

1 millionaire leaves the UK every 45 minutes.

All that matters is that you are still here.

If he doesn't **** my pensions up he is fine by me. As long as he doesn't import Kwasi Kwarteng into the treasury.  Grin

What makes people think we're coming straight back up again if we get relegated? I'd personally rather struggle in league 1 until we can get established/competetive at some point, than go back down to the basement.

I don't think anyone has suggested we would rather be in L2. I see L1 as 'insurance'.

I do think though that most common fans go to the football to be entertained and hopefully win more than you lose.
The reality is that the more successful a team is, the more difficult it becomes to get tickets and the more expensive a hobby it becomes.

It must have been amazing to be a Luton fan recently. Probably not so much fun this season and it certainly wouldn't have been when they slipped into non-league.

With how our club is being run, I personally think we are quite a way from being near a non-league side at the moment. Not many financially astute, well run clubs fall by the wayside. There is normally a story attached.
I can think of nothing worse than following a mediocre Prem team....like Man Utd or Man City  Tongue

probably not a popular view but a free scoring L2 team with a full Sixfields would represent a happier season than this one.


Not too controversial. I would hazard a guess that most (if not all in living memory) of our most enjoyable seasons have taken place in the lowest tier. Common sense really considering the vast majority of fans have never seen us achieve success beyond L1 and those that have are declining!
Can't be too many better than the Carr and Wilder seasons.

Then you get in the realms of questioning whether it is 'better' to follow a team like the Cobblers with the ups and downs...or the consistent drudgery of someone like Everton?

Either way, it'll be an achievement for KN to see out his contract.

If Amorim is getting an easy time (which he is) due to the nature of work that needs doing, our Kev should get at least a season and a half to steady the ship and push on.

It is very, very early days and with the injury list we have definitely shown glimmers of improvement and importantly only conceded twice in the past 4 games. Certainly a more promising start than the likes of Wilder and Sir Alex!

Incredible engineering and technology. If you'd seen that in a movie a couple of years back you would have said it was far fetched.
A snip too at up to £10b. I'd love to come back to see the true value of these missions. It'll be a very different place (if the planet is still here) for our grand children and their kids.

If you can find the full episode, this was very funny (albeit it cringeworthy) and featuring Macca. The staff at the museum weren't allowed to talk and he knew naff all about the subject matter.

I don't understand how UK productivity is down. I've just read that some woman had sex with over 1,000 men in 12 hours. That is one every 40 seconds and she must have worked through her lunch break. There is your next Minister of State for Industry.
14  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Redevelopment Closer Than Ever? on: January 16, 2025, 18:28:36 pm
correct me if I'm wrong but was it not McIntosh who was at the top when said monies got LOST and went into hiding ever since. It's been so long long I have genuinely forgot

He was found not guilty over donations.

….but nothing to do with the missing millions.

Can someone explain in simple terms what transferring to the county court means?

What are the potential and likely outcomes now it’s in county court if found guilty of course.

Crown court is for more serious offences, normally with a jury.
Magistrate court powers are limited and no jury.

With respect to the ‘warnings’. Hundreds of cases (many high profile) get heard daily with an absolute barrage of misinformation by thousands of posts across the mainstream social media channels.
I highly doubt any judge will be pointed towards an internet backwater where a few people are taking the p*ss.
The important aspect is that any jury should stay away from the press and media content. With the apathy that has surrounded this case for 10 years that shouldn’t be too hard.

Totally agree with ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Look at poor old ex MP Macca, he got some pelters. (still is by the look of the last post).

Maybe the ‘We want answers’ campaign will finally get some.
People may need to be accountable for what they post these days, that’s for sure.

Wise words, perhaps we should have an embargo on any comment until the fcukers are banged up?

 Grin Grin Grin

It could be one big misunderstanding….

At the risk of another...."who?"

Former Hollyoaks actor Paul Danan, 46....sniff.

Case transferred to Northampton Crown Court on 27th February.

I reckon DC has aged 20 years.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gxp35zyk0o

I bet a few people would like to be on that jury.  Grin

I think Cardozas naivety beats yours hands down mate.

I think he was a tad more than 'naive' but let the judge decide that.
