    peterbourgh why the £ 3 increase

    I think the issue is that POG is £3 more when its not been possible to buy tickets for several days before the game.

    No scouts

    A lot of lower league clubs have little to no scouting these days. Most of it is done online, there's 2 databases clubs can subscribe to that have all the player details uploaded and match footage available. Means scouting can be done without the need to send people all over the place. Once they...

    Orient

    If they're on the pitch again it's going to end up in a right state. If they aren't why can't the game be played at the same time?

    The Givers and the Takers

    Was he the one who got injured when the club decided to send everyone on a pre season army boot camp?

    Top Gear

    How did he own half of Top Gear? It was going for years before he was a presenter wasn't it? At the best of times you can't go round punching people at work. Even more so when you're on a final warning for all problems in recent months with racism etc. It's quite frustrating that with all the...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Might have been better off just ignoring Ward. By responding its just going to escalate and move the focus away from the real issues.

    £10 for a 3 year old !

    At a guess it's an issue with the online ticketing not being able to cope with a ticket with no price. Might be worth someone flagging up with the SCG that the wording on the website is not clear. Also might be worth the club making sure all the ticket staff know what they can offer. A much...

    Wonder What The Legends Thought ?

    It wasn't legends day this year, they renamed it to retro day.

    What you need is a mass cancellation of Sky subscriptions coupled with a boycott of PL games then maybe the people who need to make the change will start to pay attention. Unfortunately I suspect the percentage of fans of PL teams who actually care what is happening lower down the pyramid is...

    Too many games...

    He doesn't sign the players so you can't really blame him for one keeper you don't think is up to the job. In recent years I think the GK position has been the least of our problems. We've regularly had keepers who have saved us a lot of points and I haven't heard a departing keeper have...

    Poor pre match warm up for some players....

    They might be having to do that on the pitch now as when we got kicked out of the dressing room we have traditionally used we lost access to the warm up area as well.

    8,700....really ?

    I think the bigger problem was no plan B. That was fine as the high risk part of the investment but there was no plan on what they would do if promotion wasn't achieved relatively quickly. That's not a scientific figure to be honest but you're looking at someone having to pay SISU whatever %...

    Players that can't trap a bag of sand.....

    Absolutely right Mart, when we returned the pitch was the responsibility of ACL, at the time owned by CCC and Higgs, and it wasn't in an acceptable condition. When Wasps took over a big fuss was made of how they were solving the problem of the poor pitch by having it relaid immediately. In my...

    8,700....really ?

    I can certainly see what attracted them in the first place. They thought they could put a relatively small amount in, get promotion and cash out with a huge return. Now I suspect they are still here as they can't find a viable exit strategy. When SISU took over we were a Championship team...

    8,700....really ?

    Possibly but it also raises the prospect that nobody will be interested in the club without a stadium.

    'Anti-SISU brigade'

    For me it all started going downhill when we got rid of Sillett and in came Butcher, followed by Gould. And of course the boardroom coup that led to Richardson ousting Poynton. Of course we had some good years with some decent players but they were players we couldn't afford an it seems there...

    8,700....really ?

    They were based in New York, hence the name, and specialised in ownership of sports 'franchises'. They were looking to get involved in Europe and saw us as a good prospect.

    8,700....really ?

    There were two other parties who were very interested. The Manhattan group were one, if you recall they met with the council and promptly got on a plane and went back to the states saying it would be impossible to work with them. The other group, who's name escapes me at the moment, wanted to...
