    Match Thread Reading (away)

    This is a fair summary. Shipley did great on his return versus QPR and Pboro and then he’s returned to default. What is annoying me is that desire and work rate are the most simple things to add your game. If you’re not the most technically gifted player on the pitch, make sure you’re the...

    Match Thread Reading (away)

    Evening Oggy! Apologies, thought it was relevant to the reflections on the match thread. I know social media has been alight with complaints about the performance but I really don’t care. We have won and didn’t get the ‘best team we have played’ platitudes!

    I’m not joking, there’s not once I can recall him saying he’s actually watched the game in any form. The most recent example being where he said he wasn’t at work but didn’t watch the game or even listen to it on CWR but instead followed it by watching the live commentary updates on the BBC...

    Don’t know where they find these callers on CWR. Just full of angry middle aged men like Pete. Breaths out of his arse so that Oggy and Clive can’t get a word in.

    Next Season’s Ticket Prices

    It all depends on how the season ends. If we slowly spiral to a nothing finish, I can see a lot not renewing at a 30% increase. Get into the playoffs or get very close and I can see our number of ST holders growing even at a 30% price increase. What Boddy and co don’t need to do is blindly...

    CBS Arena

    It seems like all of the flatpack stadiums suffer with these faults however when you consider the state of the pitch (again) it’s no surprise that basic maintenance isn’t conducted. A lot of it is cosmetic to be fair. The imitation sandstone brickwork outside of the stadium need a thorough jet...

    That’s a classy gesture all around, fairplay to you Nick.

    Club Safety Officer sacked

    The usual disciplinary HR proceedings now start. IHow quickly the Club can sack her depends on how quickly they can get her in for the obligatory meetings and does her Union or representation challenge or appeal it. She’s been convicted of it so her sacking is as concrete-guaranteed as O’Hare...

    Club Safety Officer sacked

    Doesn’t reflect well on our great club at all. She’s a goner. Unacceptable behaviour.

    I agree O’Hare is a great player with fantastic technical ability and work rate… but goals and assists are critical part of the number 10 role. It’s like saying he’s a great fisherman - he just can’t catch any fish.

    Totally agree. We are totally reliant on Godden and Gyokeres to score every game and it’s unrealistic to expect them to be able to score every game. Your midfield (not including Attacking Mid) should be getting combined 8 goals a season. They didn’t record them back then but I’m sure...

    Our social media

    Considering the salaries posted when they had vacancies, I think they do a great job. With Twitter, it’s mostly used by the club for customer service means I.e. responding to fans questions and complaints. They are bang on for replying promptly and openly. I would rather that was the approach...

    Wouldn’t surprise me if the CWR commentary desk is used for a bit of pablo at the moment!

    Crowd trouble

    I’ve got to say, since lockdown I’m seeing it a lot more than ever before. Whether that’s just me not noticing it previously or people being more blatant, I don’t know. Thankfully those on the train doing it openly in the carriage weren’t wearing colours.

    Crowd trouble

    I’m reluctant to criticise our fans as 99.9% are fantastic but this irks me. If people want to take that rubbish they should go and do it out of view of everyone else. It’s intimidating to families attending and leaves a lasting memory. I saw it being openly consumed at Blackburn away on the...

    Crowd trouble

    That would be my first choice. I have mentioned before but it usually gets the feedback that it’s impossible and the concourse can’t be altered. It would help for shipping away fans towards the train station (if we had a train running one day) and car park C for away coaches.

    Crowd trouble

    There’s exceptions of course but in atmospheric stadiums the most vocal always tend to sit near the away fans. You can try and encourage people to go and sit behind the goal or move the away fans but people will just move to near the away fans. We finally have an atmosphere at the CBS lets try...

    Crowd trouble

    I’m hoping you’re right on a box ticking exercise hence it’s been sent out on a Monday morning. There’s been more awareness of our atmospheres and corner this season which has led to some busy-body complaining. I am hopeful this fits into that category rather than paving the way to closing the...

    Don’t know if Lyndon is on here but if he is, well done you’re doing a great job. Definitely played a key role in us having a rejuvenated atmosphere at the CBS and when allowed to have the drum for away games.

    It’s only acceptable if you’re holding a SISU Out banner. Can’t beat a Saturday afternoon charging across empty rows of seats with your arms out wide like Bill Bright
