Unmatched until the Brexit vote and its aftermath. BTW don’t remember Chesterfield but we played Cambridge in a cup replay on a Wednesday (I think) afternoon in front of about 16,000 after drawing with them at their place in the first ever professional game on a Sunday. We drew the home game too and won a second replay at Forest. I was at all 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge sounds right i also think ...though I might be a million miles off ....that not only were we the first professional team ( apart from Cambridge too of course) to play on Sunday that we were the first league club to use a sub.....but I would put more than a tanner on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of investment in key areas clearly to blame. The fact they werr using outdayted software is so wrong. THe Government should be leveraging it's budget strength to be on the latest software, efficiencies coming out it. I have a number of years experience working for hospitality in both private hospitals and private operater in the NHS, as well lots of family use of the NHS and it needs reform and improved effeciency not just throwing money at it.

maddog Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I work in the NHS and manage my clinical team’s budget. In the last 5 years, our Trust has had to make 10s of millions of savings due to funding cuts. Our team budget has been halved in that time, going from 5 clinicians down to 2 and an unqualified assistant. Access to support from corporate services has also been much reduced due to cuts (IT, HR, recruitment, etc). So we’re being asked to do much much more on much much less. And this has been the experience of everyone I know who works in the NHS. The government / people are always banging on about the NHS having money thrown at it. I call bullshit. Where’s it going?

I work for a company with a turnover of around 200,000,000 covering the whole country, we have three on the statutory board of directors I took a friend to Preston A and E last year and looked at a poster proudly displayed in the waiting room with photos of their board of directors - all 15 of them - theres were a lot of the money goes The doctor we saw thought it was laughable too - as he said where were they at 1 in the morning as we were?
