Totally agree. I'm no fan of the Ricoh, and although the B&A is a decent enough place to have a drink, it's hardly your archetypal football boozer. I do think people overstate the 'lack of pubs' line though. There are plenty of options, even if they don't provide the sort of experience you get...

That's exactly what's going to happen. The link was opened up ahead of the wholesale redevelopment. Most units are on short-term lease and there will be CPOs issued in the near future. One side of Hertford Street will be flattened and rebuilt, the roof will go and the street will be returned to...

What distinctiveness was this? The crumbling remnants of failed post-war regeneration? Also, embracing the success of our two fine universities should be celebrated. People seem to forget a lot of the regeneration is not student driven. The Belgrade is being renovated, the CT building converted...

I used to leave the Bull and Anchor at 2.40 and would make kick-off. Does that count? It was never ideal, but there were more drinking options at the Ricoh than many other new grounds, as those travelling to Colchester will discover.

Most of the student accommodation is being built on unused, often derelict brownfield sites. It isn't being built 'instead' of anything else, it is a simple case of supply and demand, and the increased footfall will only spur on other developments that the whole city can benefit from. There are...

Where's that being said then, on twitter? Certainly not on here.

Pitch looks excellent. Like a carpet. Conditions shouldn't have any influence today.

3-5-2, I'm liking that.

Travelling down wasn't confident, but now I'm a couple of beers in I'm feeling 3 points. Pissing down here mind, but locals don't seem worried, say the pitch holds up well and is in mint condition. Called off at 2.30 then.

There's nothing to debunk really. If having fun kicking something around with your mates constitutes 'invention' then I nominate Captain Caveman. The game as we know it was developed and codified in England.

Agree. He's played against two physical L2 sides in the FL trophy, and he has impressed in the couple of U23 games I have seen. He's going to feature in L1 at some point this season, and I think perhaps tomorrow he would be worth a punt. His pace on the break could be useful (we do seem to be...

So you're blaming the last 3 performances on someone who hasn't even played? That's batshit. We were all saying at the start of the season how refreshing it was to see so many leaders on the pitch. Well, two of those standout players are on the bench. He probably can't do much in this game now...

Agree, but we need to drag ourselves out of it soon. Win on Wednesday and we're pretty much guaranteed to be in 4th (with Oxford not playing) and suddenly the world is a better place again.

Maybe, but he looked sharp during that game I thought and fully expected him to start the next game. That was almost 2 weeks ago, and he hasn't had a minute since, so any match fitness he gained during that game will soon be lost. Not sure if he's played for the 23s since? Robins has his...

But he played the full game at FGR and looked fine. If he picked up a knock in that game, why is he on the bench? Looks to me like he's just been dropped.

One win in 7 now, no goals in 6 hours of play, now away wins, it's starting to get a little worrying. We're still in a decent position though, just need to get out of this rut pretty quickly. Kelly has to come in, as does Mason (although I thought McCallum had a good game today, nothing against...

Really? Everyone appears to be a regular poster and nobody has 'slated' Robins. Stop being hysterical. Games like today happen, everyone knows that, but on the back of a thumping last week, only 1 win in 6, no away wins all season, no goals scored in 4 of the last 5, it is a little worrying...

We've only hit the target once today. That's 1 win in the last 6 games. We need to stop hiding behind 'ooh, we play some pretty stuff' bollocks and realise it isn't working at the moment. We're still in a decent position, and we were always going to gave a bad spell, but we need to turn this...

This is worrying for me. Tranmere are poor, but for all our good play, we just don't seem to create anything. Hopefully we'll wear them down, but at the moment this has 0-0 written all ovet it. Plenty of time to go though, and surely the chances will come.

Lots of comments from fans of other clubs loving the kit on Twitter. Out of stock by Monday!
