    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    Would be a great signing for the multitude of reasons people have suggested. I think he’s a good player with good potential, and there’s definitely legs in the rumour. Great to see we haven’t abandoned our strategy of signing younger players to develop, and in fact we’ve enhanced it by signing...

    St Andrew's it is then

    Forgiven. Although it’s unlike you not to be positive.

    St Andrew's it is then

    Sod the negativity around the announcement. Support the club, regardless of politics - too many people missed out last year because of this, and if they do so again, it’s their loss. I enjoy St Andrews for a multitude of reasons, and the fact that by playing there means we aren’t helping to...

    Match Thread Coventry v Rangers

    Looking forward to seeing us play for the first time in months, even if it isn’t in person. If Dabo/Rose are out, then our strongest team is probably; Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Pask Kelly Hamer Giles O’Hare Allen Godden (Didn’t realise how much I missed typing out our predicted team!). I’d...

    Realistic Expectations next season

    At the start of last season I was incredibly optimistic, and told anyone who would listen we were getting promoted. I have the same sense of optimism this season, albeit I’m not expecting promotion. I do think we’ll surprise people though and have an outside chance of challenging for playoffs...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Fantastic news. If people are finding excuses now, they really shouldn’t be a fan. Massive kick in the teeth for Wasps and Council.

    Pubs

    We have been to two pubs and two restaurants since they all re-opened, and a few friends have been for pints or meals at their locals. The big takeaway for me is the lack of consistency. We’ve experienced face masks and table service, no face masks and table service, no face masks, table...

    Who else do we need

    I actually think we have a strong enough team to surprise people this year. So far we’ve only lost Walsh, who we’ve replaced with Hamer - and while he is an unknown at this point he’s highly thought of. The other player we’ve lost is McCallum, and a LWB has to be the priority. I really rate...

    Transfer Rumour Marcel Hilsner

    Strange one on paper, but I’d imagine its a low cost, low risk gamble, and based on comments it appears we’ve been tracking him for some time so we must see something there. Interesting the official Twitter describes him as a winger. I hope it isn’t a sign we’re reverting to wingers - the...

    Update from Big Dave

    Always impressed with Boddy, he is another big contributor to the success of CCFC on and off the pitch (stadium withstanding). I like his openness. I read the statement as wanting to return to the Ricoh and attempting to buy as much time as possible to achieve that, but by no means a...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Shame if true, but not the end of the world. He’s a good player with big potential, but equally I’m confident there are other players who can have just as much of an impact next season. I’d like him to sign, but he’s replaceable if he doesn’t.

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    Don’t know too much about him, but I think he will surprise us. And most importantly I trust MR and Badlan. It’s also great to see us doing business so early and making use of the extra time we have over other Championship teams. Maybe he isn’t a guaranteed starter and he could be more of a...

    Running

    I don’t use gels or anything unless I’m really really struggling, but tempted to give these a try for a half and see what impact they have. Is it a short burst or does it last?

    Running

    I just did a quick 3 miles, with a sprint half mile thrown in to see how it felt. It’s still really tight but I don’t think it’s anything more as I tested it quite heavily the last two days with sprint sections and it hasn’t pulled it got worse. I haven’t tested it over a longer period so I...

    Running

    Always enjoy reading this thread - interesting to hear about other people’s experiences and progress. Last week I clocked just under 45 miles and should be on course for the same this week. I’ve varied it a little as per previous sessions and introduced runs with sprint sections in, so not...

    General TV Thread

    Seconded; Bosch is definitely worth a watch. I’m also finding myself watching more Prime than Netflix too. I need a new series, so hopefully one comes from this thread.

    Match Thread Promotion Party Match Thread

    I think it’s fair to say this will be happening once restrictions allow, even if it’s half way through next season, and we’re in the relegation zone, a taxi has been ordered for MR and Wasps are top of their league.

    We used to do this scene all the time at uni, I’d say 50/50 strike rate between laughs and weird looks. Not bothered though, as often an amateur will stitch up a professional.
