  1. With the greatest respect we don’t know that. There’s every chance we’re pursuing one or two targets and it’s just taking longer than we’d want with negotiations/agents offering them around before the season starts. Apart from that you’re a big fan yeah? To be fair, if you listen to some, that money was spent on rubbish that should’ve been moved on, so something obviously went right in the second half of the season. Let’s see where we are come Christmas.
  2. Bringing in a proper RB will obviously balance out the defence. Hobson is clearly a centre half, but I assume they’re just trying to get minutes under his belt whilst they bring in someone to fill the position. I’d obviously have liked this to have happened already, but things like this don’t always happen quickly, especially with agents involved. We created chances yesterday, especially first half, and we looked to get the ball in the opposition half as quick as possible, often in wide positions. Green and Ward were kept busy, and Ward likes to cut inside when he can. Second half Mansfield dictated the play a lot more and we seemed to lose our way a bit, especially in midfield. Nuttall should have easily buried that chance in front of goal. But if you’re booing him or ironically cheering him off you need a brain transplant. The pitch looks fantastic and the ground is feeling fresher and more modern week after week. It’s weird to see away fans sat in our old seats, but the view from our new seats in the other side of the paddock is superb. Well pleased with them.
  3. £6.50 for 24 personalised stickers on Amazon..
  4. Madri was £7 a pint in St James’ Park the other week. That or Caffrey’s. Bad times.
  5. That would be Avro FC’s ground. I was under the impression there is a Women’s and Girls team but they weren’t officially under the club.
  6. Gonna be worn maybe 2/3 times tops and the club have told us we’ve bespoke designs for the home and away kit. Nothing to worry about.
  7. I suspect we have already signed his replacement. Thanks for your efforts last season Joe.
  8. That’s a fantastic signing. And what a great little video too. I imagine we’ll continue to be drip-fed news (signings, new kit, new club shop stock, fixtures etc.) each week now until pre-season starts. I can’t bloody wait!
  9. I live across the street from a Luton fan who was at that Hyde game. He’s given me many a pep-talk recently about the fortunes of football.
  10. Cheers, I’m over 6 foot though and my partner has some mobility issues so we’ll probably look elsewhere. Plus I don’t think I’m at that stage in life for the Main Stand Upper.
  11. Ah. Thanks for that, I had no idea that was the case. I guess I’d better start looking at alternatives!
  12. I’m in the Paddock towards the Chaddy End and it won’t let me renew. When you look at the seating map when selecting ‘buying new’ the whole block is greyed out. Hopefully the club will be in contact soon as they haven’t yet.
  13. 7 goals from midfield this season for the worst team in the league.
  14. Iverson starts for Leicester. Premier League debut.
  15. It’s my first day back in work too, but it’ll get better as the week goes on, promise.
  16. Yeah they’ve had a game per round streamed live online.
  17. Given that “Everybody was trying to force the club under until two days ago”.. maybe Shez is due more than a pre-season with this squad eh?
  18. About as shambolic and unprofessional as the fanbase predicted at the time. Keith Curle was never going to pull up any plants with the team, but the nonsense behind the scenes was (and still is) just embarrassing.
  19. Clean sweep needed. Owner, board, manager, playing squad.
