Apart from the obvious highlight that day, I also enjoyed Ian Marshall being given the ball by the ref to pass back to the keeper, before running at goal, feigning to shoot, and finally tapping it to him. Oh, and the two lads who missed the coach at the last service station break, being welcomed into the stand by the chant of ‘you must’ve come in a taxi’. Happy days!

Good spot.

Poor old Frank is beginning to understand the harsh reality that bad recruitment in football costs you a year’s worth of wages, rather than a month’s notice.

I’ll be there… To get a refund for my Halifax ticket, then fucking off to do something that doesn’t make me want to cry.

I was mischievously suggesting that Stats Bomb is programmed to push certain agents’ players up the list, similar to Google ads. Much more likely that we had to throw a chunk of change at agents to get deals such as Norwood’s and Raglan’s over the line in the face of ‘huge interest from other parties’.

I’ve got no idea how it’s used and if it’s at the root of our recruitment issues. I do think it’s worth noting that the two teams in the division using Stats Bomb (us and York), also spent the most on agents’ fees. Causation or correlation?

Ha, I’m thinking now that StatsBomb is a front for a consortium of agents! It certainly begs the question whether they receive a kickback from completed deals.

Beat me to it. This is a change from the original communication which said you could simply email the club.

I’ve seen that the official site has been updated now to say that if you have the physical tickets, you need to return them at the ticket office by 4pm on Tuesday, 23 April.

Regarding Halifax refunds, has anyone got a reply back from the ‘supporter.services’ email black hole?

Ha, it said it had been posted 51 seconds earlier on their webpage, so I thought I had a scoop. Back to my day job, whatever the hell that is.

If he isn’t happy, let him go. If he’s willing to stay, build a team around him that plays to his strengths.

We’ve not done well from attacking corners for yonks. Do many goals actually get scored from corners these days generally, with the fixation on defending / not conceding? Oh, to have an Andy Holden type of player, willing to crash through a pile of bodies to get his swede on the end of a corner!

I imagine it would be preferable to go into their next home game as champions and plan the celebrations accordingly. Away win.
