Mine joined the same queue in 1994. I’ll have to wait a whole year after you when he does get back! *sigh*

It wasn’t obvious at the time they’d become available. We’ve tried to permanently sign pretty much any decent loanee we’ve had in recent years. Bright, McGoldrick, O’Hare, Walsh, Giles (well, re-signed on loan). You get the jist. Had we not got promoted, we wouldn’t even be in with a shout of...

Signed O’Hare and Walsh as loanees last season. Pretty big signings. I like that we don’t rely on the loan market as much as we did in the past. The loan market should be used to supplement what you have as opposed to plugging a positional need for one year. Loanees will be some of the last...

You’d have to be very pissed to consider Dabo a CM.

Well, at least having someone who stands as an independent could raise these issues and get ‘air time’ (be in CET, radio or even social media) to talk about platforms and the situation as a whole. I’m not saying it’s a winnable fight, but this tactic eventually worked out for Charlton.

Agree on a national basis. When it comes to elections with lower turnouts, in the high-teens to high-twenties in percentage... An independent with votes could sway the election outcome. Ultimately, the goal would be to make sitting councillors worry that a potential independent running could...

Mostly agreed. But, if we were to stand a candidate, maybe campaign a little too on the sole platform of CCFC. It may change the landscape of the CCC even if one person were to be elected. Or even if sufficiently challenged enough to worry about the outcome of next election. So far...

It was in poor taste, but I got your intention and it makes sense. Of course Hoffman would deny those charges. Not like any of the local media were going to look at any of this, at least at that time anyway!

I would not want to be the next man after Eddie Howe in that Bournemouth job. They look like a team on the cusp of imploding, really hope Robins doesn’t leave.

This is since Nike has dropped the templates they used last season, right? That kit is really nice, and the challenge from smaller kit makers has probably prompted Nike to give the attention clubs like Pompey deserve on their kits. I’m not a massive fan of the collar, but overall I’d be pretty...

Some of the template stuff was not great at all. I thought our last two Nike kits were nice, to be fair. If I was a supporter of most of the L1 or L2 sponsored by Nike, I’d be I was sceptical of Hummel as a sponsor, namely because I associated them with Villa. Seeing the attention given to...

Probably influenced a lot of lower league clubs. The trend seems to be that the bespoke designs are attracting clubs to sign with them. Looking at our Nike kits, and the lack of effort put into Pompey, PNE’s and Peterborough’s kits would put me off using them. Very lazy, basic templates.

Revealing.

I have a question. In recent years, clubs who have found themselves ‘exiled’ from their city, the local council have played a big role in delivering Rotherham and Brightonnew stadiums... In what circumstances would CCC be willing to offer support for our proposed new stadium? For example...

You’re an entertaining fellow!

The season was finished 10 games early...

Would actually make buying a beer in the football stadium worthwhile. Personally, I don’t really drink in the stadium - expensive, long queues and poorly poured beers. It’s a no from me.

If the council really cared about CCFC, they’d held this refurb as a collateral if a deal to keep us at the RICOH couldn’t be agreed. Why is city propping/protecting up this franchise? Corrupt.

This seems totally above board. If the council were willing to help us as they helped the Wasps, perhaps we’d have avoided being in a situation where SISU had to ‘save us’ at the last minute.

I was 100% being sarcastic.
