It was at the Dell sometime in the mid to late 60's. I can't remember a thing about the game but my Dad assures me that I was there. There are plenty of other games over the years that I'd have preferred to forget......

Many thanks for the helpful definition. Perhaps I should have been a little more specific and explained that my query (which was a genuine one) was around the context that the phrase was used in. I had thought that your whole forum persona was about fighting against what you perceived to...

Sounds like the sort of sale SISU would make :)

My reading of the situation is that the advantage of purchasing via administration would have been that the buyer would not have to deal with SISU as, rightly or wrongly, a number of parties seem to have trust issues in dealing with them. As a matter of interest, what price would you consider...

SISU got a lot of stick when they bought CCFC because they didn't pay anything for the shares. I supported them over that issue, because at the time the value of the club was effectively £0 and so it seemed pretty logical that the price of the shares should reflect this. The problem is that -...

I'm not trying to be sarcastic or pick a fight, but what does "is more comfortable with the masses" mean?

The best thing yesterday was the news that talks have started on taking the academy back to the Higgs. Whilst it would only be putting right their own mistake, I would give SISU some credit for seeing sense, if a deal is completed.

And that is because.....?

Only deadline day I remember I was involved in selling a business to Jack Walker (of Blackburn fame) and the guy I was dealing with was the guy who handled his football deals. So as we finished up, I asked "any deals for Blackburn today?", he said no and I set off home. Got home to find that...

Bugger, just glanced at your post - I thought that NSTAMAIWGTSB was our new centre half. :facepalm:

I'd be very grateful :)

Just to freshen things up, couldn't we have: I take it none of you will be going to Anfield when we draw them in the FA Cup? or even I take it none of you will be going to Stamford Bridge when we draw them in the FA Cup? It'd just make it a bit less repetitive.

I know that you're making an entirely different point, but given our current plight it just looks odd to be talking about our "home" gates as "only averaging 17.2k".

I'm tempted to say "Breaking news" - though I'll avoid the capital letters and irritating overuse of exclamation marks. I'll settle for correcting your maths and pointing out that it's actually 100p more than NOPM.

Whatever the background to the talks, it would be very good news if they succeed.

I'd prefer the latter :)

To be honest Nick, I think that if we get good offers, then players are going to leave - irrespective of being in Northampton and irrespective of NOPM. It's one thing that I haven't criticised SISU for because it's always been the way of things and probably always will - on a similar thread, I...

You'll recall that at the forums, TF said that they wouldn't sell because "you don't sell at the bottom of the business cycle". Since then, they've lost 80% to 90% of last year's customer base. If, as you suggest, they then sell the better players (as they're the ones that people will want to...

To make the losses that they have to cover, bigger!!

You never told us that you worked in marketing! :)
