    North Stand back open..

    Personally I'm happy with this - I don't like the thought of not having fans behind both goals. It just seemed an odd solution to me, and one that was more about saving money than generating atmosphere Having said that, I really enjoyed my first time in the South Stand. Whether it would be as...

    Anyone in to stocks & shares?

    As with all gambling - I think the key is never bet more than you can afford to lose! ;) It's a big old world, stocks, and lots of players - with some big ones more than capable of manipulating the various markets I'd venture. If you don't mind my asking, are you using technical analysis...

    Anyone remember Rob Gurney?

    I remember Rob Gurney's commentaries very well - always enjoyed listening to them. The telegraph bloke you're thinking of was Adam Dent, I'd venture. I've no problem with Clive Eakin, and I enjoy listening to the radio when he's on too, but I'm never quite sure why RG moved onto Brum. Did he...

    another 1000 tickets

    Ah, it's very impressive, granted. But don't you find that the glue itches? ;) I shall print and frame that picture, and put it on the mantlepiece - it'll keep the kids away from the fire. :)

    A bearded tit, perhaps? :)

    another 1000 tickets

    I suspect there's some jealousy here. Could it be that your tender years mean that you're only capable of a thin smattering of student bumfluff, swept away in the first autumnal breeze, rather than a full-tilt Fisher complete with nesting sparrows? Overcome your pogonophobia, young man. In...

    FAO Paul James - Block 16

    I'm Paul James and so is my wife. :)

    The Can't Go On Friday Thread

    Must confess that I've given up on trying to get tickets. I simply can't spend ages queuing up or on line when there's work to do. Looking at it calmly, I'm not too down about it, it's not as though I've seen much of them over the last year or so - and they'll be a hooky internet feed or two...

    Further ticket update

    It's going to be tricky that. You can drink twice as much tea and coffee, and also spend double the time reading the paper in the bog I suppose - but there's only so long that you can sit and stare out of the window, and you don't want to be idly surfing the internet in the office until...

    Pitch Status

    With regard to this I'd heard we're bringing Aidy Boothroyd back - it's going to save us a fortune. :)

    Tim Fisher - On CWR at 9am

    Not for the first time, I'm confused about Fisher and SISU's logic here. They're going to have to find, conservatively, £20m - £30m to build a new, smaller stadium from scratch. The new stadium, being smaller, and likely more poorly located, won't have the capability to make as much money as...

    Tim Fisher - On CWR at 9am

    In a nutshell, this is what I got, I had to leave before the end of the interview... Shane O'Connor started by asking about Labovitch: TF: Mark's role was independent advice during turbulent times. (Suggested no longer required, but would remain a friend of the club). SOC: Have you come out...

    Mark Labovitch's time at CCFC in quotes

    The quotes I liked best were the misquotes. ;) Can't say that I'll miss ML much. Out of all of the recent directors (even including the utterly barmy Orange Ken), he seemed the most divisive. Some people seem to delight in spin, confusion, and provocation - getting shot of him is a smart move.

    I'm incredibly unintelligent....

    OK, I confess, I'm utterly baffled. We've got a 32,000 seater stadium. We've sold 15,000 tickets on general sale, and are reserving 4,000 others for ST holders. We'll have to block out (say) 2,000 for away fans. That's 21,000. Let's say another 1,000 are lost for segregation and other...

    Shane o'connor

    That's how I read it too. Not an issue in terms of how he runs his show, but I'd rather we had a die-hard Cov lad in there. Rob Gurney, where are you... ;)

    Seating changes for Ricoh Return

    I'm not convinced about doing this just for atmosphere, I think it's a bit more about cutting costs. Otherwise, as Nick says, it would be better to simply move everyone closer to the pitch, and have home support behind both goals. Regardless, and fwiw, I always thought the 'home' end should...

    Got to be some things organised for first game back

    Just tell the steward that you knew you wouldn't be allowed to bring a flammable banner into the ground, so you've confirmed that yours is inflammable. :)

    Tenner for Gills game

    Ah, that way lies disaster. By the time you get out, you'll probably have lost enough to buy us all a season ticket. :)

    We're Coming Home, Are You?

    No mate, not here. Apologies, I was trying to post something that wasn't divisive!
