    Call to Arms first game of the season.

    Fair enough, let’s not have it again it then. I appreciate travel will be a factor, be that in a positive or negative way. Unfortunately for you it is negative, but that make it even more impressive you’ve purchased a ST. I’m going to have a tricky call myself in a few weeks; we have a home...

    New attacking targets.

    He’s being linked with Premier League, Championship and Bundesliga teams, so I’d say that’s unlikely.

    Call to Arms first game of the season.

    Yes and the example of your Mum falls under the personal reasons category I mentioned. I would question the appointments and commitments point though. Excluding last minute, unplanned or urgent events, appointments can be worked around our home games, be that in Birmingham or the Ricoh.

    Bayliss off?

    Please don’t say that and give us any slither of hope to be positive about. I prefer to be depressed before the season has even started.

    Call to Arms first game of the season.

    It does, but we all know what the change is and have done for months now. I don’t like it, as I say I wish we were in Coventry, but I can’t do anything about it, so I’ve adapted to it. I encourage people to do the same. Don’t let the fact it is a bad change dissuade you without trying it...

    Most stupid comments you expect to hear at games this season

    This is the one that infuriates me the most. Especially as when it is aimlessly booted forward, it’s followed by more abuse about us losing the ball! I also hate the ‘get him off’ comments when we’ve already made our three subs.

    Bayliss off?

    He’s a loss, as without Bright, he’s our most creative player. Even with his fairly indifferent season last year, he’s incredibly talented and has the ability to change games. That’s rare in our league. It also means we definitely don’t have anyone who can naturally fit the 10 role now, so I’d...

    Call to Arms first game of the season.

    I am more excited about the start of this season than I have been for the previous few. Of course I wish we were in Coventry (and in an ideal world not the Ricoh), but we aren’t. We can’t control that, but we can control supporting the team. MR has built a strong exciting team, which I’m...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    You can, but I think the majority are in agreement he is more than capable of doing a good job and scoring goals in L1; he did last year from a wider position. He fluffed chances, as all L1 strikers do, but most importantly he scored more than our other players.

    New attacking targets.

    Huh? Can you provide any evidence to support the points you’ve made?

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    I would agree re August if we had no recognised starting striker, but we have Hiwula. Who is to say Walker would have started ahead of him? I have noticed a few people say we have 2 strikers, we have 3: Hiwula, Bakayoko and Biamou. Hiwula didn’t play as a central striker for us, but that is his...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    If on August 31st we haven’t signed another striker, then the meltdown is more understandable. At this point, with a month left and Hiwula, a striker who we all agree is talented, fit and ready to start the season, plus two attack minded and, on paper, improved wingers outside of him, we don’t...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    Really pleased he’s signing for Lincoln, now I can say I told you so and blame the ground, MR, Chaplin and of course, SISU. And have a massive meltdown while I’m at it.

    Bright Enobakhare

    It’s a fair question to ask, but he really is that good. Without doubt, he’s a difference maker in L1. He can be frustrating and at times is like a ‘ball hogger’ on a school playground, but he has that extra special ability to make things happen that is elusive is L1. He’s well worth whatever...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    We have heard from inside sources he is a target; MR has stated he has targets in mind; MR has not denied interest in him, but has on other players. I’m confident we’re interested. However, none of us actually know what’s going on with the transfer, be that from our end, Lincoln’s end, Forests...

    Season Ticket Sales

    I ordered two together, one has arrived and one hasn’t. Called the club and they didn’t seem concerned; they said if it doesn’t arrive in time then let them know and they will sort something for the day.

    Believe it or not, nor am I! There’s a difference between a piss up and a couple of pre match pints.

    St Andrew's parking, busses, trains, food & boozing

    Vow/Timperley have got me started now, and I’m in a lengthy queue at the barbers so I’ve got time on my hands.... For those wanting a drink nearer to the station before a taxi to the ground. There’s a number of good ale pubs a few minutes walk from New Street: Bacchus Bar (literally opposite...

    St Andrew's parking, busses, trains, food & boozing

    To be fair, once you get over the constant smell of BO, it’s a great pub for ale drinkers - 15/20 pumps!
