Indeed. An expression often used in local parlance

Agreed Nick, I personally wasn't asking them to be moved. There is some salient points in there it seems, but hard to find at times and there is risk that the guy will end up not being taken as seriously as he probably should be. Just my view of course; personally I always find it hard to wade...

Northampton isn't a city. It is however, the 3rd largest town in the uk (after Reading and Dudley). Local rumour has it that the reason why it has been rejected several times for graduating to city status is due to the towns support for the Parliamentarians during the civil war. Having lived in...

Bemused by the length and convoluted nature of the posts. Why not be more succinct and positive, considering the apparent passion for the subject. More bemusement to follow one suspects!

Having used my dipping in and out time to look at the ongoing discussion, can I ask svbet whether the help on offer through his suggestions will become something more tangible? I am personaly not that close to the petition but have helped where I can with raising awareness to it, and by...

Dare say he is making valid points. They are just getting lost in the text. More succinct would be useful to all, as most of us dip in and out of the forum throughout the day. Just a suggestion

Interesting book to pick up on in light of current events: Something New Under the Sun by J.R. McNeill. Also the latest findings of the IPCC report which are currently being published. Extreme weather of today will become the norm in the future. Anyway, I suspect I may have gone "off thread" so...

You are dead right Torch. Owners of clubs (and I'm not just referring to ours) can pretty much do as they please with their "asset", and dictate to the authorities as they please. It will demostrate to all how toothless and amateurish the FL/FA really are. Money is killing the game, and it has...

Somehting on 5 live this morning in regard to fans being given more of a voice in thier respective clubs. The FL and FA are to meet to discuss how to urge owners to allow this in th future. Not entriely unconnected with th governance in the game.

Agreed mate. My eldest has been to the Ricoh a few times, the lad has yet to go and would be about the right age now. He has shown interest recently, particularly when he watched some of th Arsenal game. I asked if he wanted to go and he said no - he may change his mind. I don't really think it...

F**cked instead of discomknockerated

Using "them" instead of "those".

Quite into the curling at the moment (that's the version on ice - not at the hairdressers)

That's where I was ocming from really. Now each to their own of course, but in the pub before and after last Saturdays game my mates were "bike this, hill that,should I stick to hard tail or not, we have the Paris hotel booked for the tour etc..." Is as if they have invented the sport!. Quite...

Why has everyone except for me, gone cycling mad.

Bit partial to a spot of athletics myself (daughter competes for club which helps), and cricket. Cheltenham on the Wednesday of the festival gets a visit, as does the Epsom Derby (free to get in) and Huntingdon. Other than that, its's just the occasional tug, if you can class that as a sport...

Too many Cov games to choose from for this. But, and some of you may like this, the worst game that I ever paid to attend was a bottom of the table Div 4 clash between the Cobblers and Hereford at the County Ground (pre Sixfields). About 30 of us from work decided to offer moral support to those...

Some Cobblers fans, good mates of mine, are a bit worried about this to a point. Can't see it myself though to be honset

Fair enough Nick - maybe give it another blast (via pm perhaps) as the wording is under discussion. Most people I have contacted pretty much get that is isn't just about Cov, but governance of the game. They haven't been too conerned about the wording in regard to who's fault it is. But if its...
