Judging by the disappointment expressed I would say ‘yes’. Some you win, some you lose. Isn’t that the nature of transfers? I also think that saying we should have held on to Chaplin is a bit strange. We doubled our money on one of our substitutes...and I liked him!

“I’ve bought a ticket for an ‘all you can drink’ canal trip to the next home game...”

I reckon.

It’s certainly something to be celebrated. Despite, or perhaps because of, all the shit we’ve endured we’ve managed to create an identity as a club that produces and hones young talent. Often local talent too! Good work cov!

Yeah, they’re both on my bucket list:- - see the northern lights - read ‘staying up’ - watch Sunderland doc - eat a croissant As an aside @Rick Gekoski is there any chance you could write a sequel? Maybe an accompaniment to the Sunderland Doc? You could call it ‘staying down’.

Likewise. It’s been gathering dust on my shelf (along with a few dozen other books) for the best part of 20 years. Maybe this will be its year! Nah. Why can’t we try and get a Sunderlandesque Netflix doc made - not that I’ve watched that either. With all our off field shenanigans it’d be far...

That’s right! I also remember the club owner was described as being pretty shady to say the least.

I read that in the 90s! An incredible story. I seem to remember being slightly irritated by the author. Also an American right?

“To you. To Me”. Ungentlemanly conduct. Free kick.

He looks quite frazzled to me.

Also seems to be confirmation (for me at least) that they’ve rejected our offer...I wasn’t aware they had.

Exactly!

Until it’s been confirmed that our bid has been rejected/that he is definitely not coming I think it’s reasonable to hope.

From the off too! Sounds like he’d taken exception to @Grendel before they’d even conversed. When you say he was employed in the media, what did he do? Drive a van for Sky?

What time’s kick off?

Fair enough. Still, good to hear and explore fellow fans opinions. Fair play to CJ, he’s been patient with the questions.

I think if people post their opinions on a forum, by it’s definition it is designed to create debate. I haven’t read CJ stating that he’s felt he’s being attacked. In fact I thought he was happy to respond.

Fair enough. If that’s your stance. Out of interest if cov were playing in Birmingham as we were building a new stadium (in cov!) would you feel the same?

Well quite. It’s a strange rationale to me. Each to their own and all that I guess. It just makes no sense to me. I can obviously understand if financial restrictions prevent this but would’ve thought if people are attending away games this doesn’t apply. Maybe I’m a bit removed from things as...

So if by some twist of fate Cov started playing at ‘home’ in Ash Green are you saying you wouldn’t attend games there?
