Aww, really? I've only been here a few years so maybe I missed that. I remember when sentences used to start with capital letters; things move on, I try not to worry about it too much.

Dunno where my kids got hold of this book from, but I think it could be a million-seller in Cov. Timmy Failure, Mistakes Were Made. Sad thing is, they still are. I'm hoping Timmy Failure's next book is Crime and Punishment. ;)

It's rubbish isn't it, the new stadium plan. Everyone except the FL know it's never going to happen - in fact I think that by now even the FL know it, but they've painted themselves into a corner.

Thanks for your time - sorry about the nutters. This is what happens when you let them eat the blue smarties and stay up past their bedtime.

I think because there was really no choice in it; once SISU had filed for administration, they got to choose the administrator. Clearly ACL aren't happy now with how he's handled it. Might yet go back to court, perhaps.

Politely, I think I'm still missing the point. Are you really saying that watching CCFC on Sky is failing in some way to support NOPM? Personally, I think that's a pretty thin argument. I'd have said that the key to NOPM is to match attendance, a few thousand of us not watching Sky isn't...

I have a problem with not watching them too, but I don't for a moment believe going to the hill is just about watching the team for nothing. If Michael's said that, or believes it, I'd be amazed. To be honest I think it's completely wrong-headed and utter bullshit, but if it makes you feel...

Really. You really believe that. They go all that way to watch the game for free - and the reason they don't pay isn't because of SISU, it's because they're tightwads? That is a odd take on it, in my opinion. As for the 'Michael said so' thing, that sounds like playground stuff mate, and I...

Do really think that those who go and stand on the hill can't afford to go in? Do you really think they're going all that way because they can watch for free? C'mon. How likely is that, really. I've not been to the hill, but my understanding from those who have is that there isn't much going...

What's your point here? Does it upset you for some reason that you can see the game, or part of it, from the hill?

Thanks for that, I'd guessed it was along those lines. My mate, who went last week, said that he quite enjoyed it and that it was actually a bit like watching the game from the old West End (in that you could never really see the whole game from there either!). I'm not sure if he was being...

OK Nick, I'm still struggling in truth. I don't remember Michael ever using the phrase 'serious' or 'double serious' or asking anyone to turn up and be angry and shouty. I'm not sure that I've heard it described as a fun day either, but I suppose the idea of the picnic was perhaps to make it a...

Personally I'd say good luck to the fella. I'm guessing it's a bit chaotic at the moment, now that they've moved out of the Ricoh, and I'd guess that a little stability (plus perhaps a few more bob) would be attractive to most people at the club, certainly on the non-playing side. Who could...

Is it that you and Nick struggle with nuances, or this really a bit of a wind up? I read that as being that the mood of the people there was perhaps a little lighter than last time, not that there was anything less serious about the situation.

I'm sorry - where did I say anything like that? I've just given a pretty simple explanation of why people are standing on the hill, in response to some of the frankly ridiculous sniping from some here. Let me clear. I haven't stood on the hill, or gone to sixfields. I've got a lot of respect...

It's not just about watching the game for nothing though is it? It's a protest that highlights the fact that people want to watch their team but don't want to give the current owners any money. As for the need to be clearer as to what the KCIC/NOPM campaign was about regarding going into...

Still trying to work out if 'really learned' is a split infinitive too. Gosh, this is so much better than talking about footy. ;)

I must confess that I did have to Google it to remember, because I haven't studied grammar for thirty years or so. I'd say the OP is actually quite right to use learned instead of learnt, but it certainly got a rise which is why I did it, sorry. ;) Personally, I've learnt(ed) not to worry too...

Isn't that the key, even if the team keeps winning and another thousand (or even two thousand) come back it's still not a sustainable basis in the medium-to-long term. Personally, I'm not buying Fisher's bs - there's no way SISU continue funding this for more than a season, maybe not even that...

Yeah... some of them struggle with 'learned' or 'learnt' too. ;)
