Yeah, this.

I don’t like these rumours being spread on here about him being a party animal, that he’s too hungover to play or whatever.

It’s all very well posting rumours about player X is going to join, player Y looks like he might leave etc. But posting rumours like this without any proof is out of order IMO.

Yes he has previous, yes the rumours might be true but as above let’s leave it to Robins to decide what happens with Bright and let’s not hang him before he’s found guilty based off some spurious internet rumours.

May have changed, certainly. But thinking back to his first spell here, I recall a Sunday game we played and he was awful. And I know for an absolute fact he was out in Birmingham the night before smashing down bottles of Hennessy.

Here’s hoping he has changed, eh?

I'm going tonight, everyone loves and cup run and to keep a winning momentum going, but I can't wait for us to take it for granted, play the kids and 2nd string thinking "it's only Northampton" end up 2-0 down before half time and start making panic substitutions to try and salvage it. Bit of a local derby, give them the big boys mark, win the game and on to the next one I say!

Good to know, no point throwing these games away, be happier fielding strong initially and giving kids a run out if we are in control. plus theirs surely s benefit getting mins into the 1st team lads legs considering the stop/start pre season.

No unless it’s being shown by some very obscure foreign channel

I just hope the Taliban don't take Kabul before kick off. There's some pretty good channels out that way for this sort of thing.

I won't hold my breath though.

Bright certainly has a touch of the Whealans. Maybe MR needs to get him in the box room.

Likewise until I went to buy a pass and saw I couldn’t. Assumed it was steamed via another service but no. Absolutely bizarre when the competition could do with some money in it which would encourage teams to take it a bit more seriously.

Happened last season with Eccles to Gillingham after our first cup game of the season.

Ryan Howley is still a scholar (U18), clubs don’t tend to loan them out, prefer to keep them in house.

Completely disagree. Just because you can't be arsed shouldn't mean it should be streamed. That would encourage more people to stay away.

Last year was great* but we are allowed back in the ground now.

*shite

Caveat being people abroad etc, but that's another conversation.

They’re probably going to lose money on this because nobody would go anyway. Streaming at least gives them a chance to break even.

Might have a gander down, will see what the lineup is an hour before and then decide.

If it is a strong team I will probably go.

Possibly but it's a shit excuse really. Last year was hopefully a massive one off.

Would have been interesting to trial it in the competition. The amount of surveying EFL did on streaming opportunities last season suggested to me that it was going to become more widespread. Seems not, so far at least.

Even if it was the same ticket price, or for away games only, or whatever. I do think there’s a big opportunity being missed.

Just got tickets. You consider not going to games like this, but then what else is there to do on a Wednesday night in Ash Green?

Couple of beers before the game, watch the city and laugh at some giddy teenagers from Northampton giving it large on their big night out. Lovely stuff.

Great, thanks mate.

Now I just need to find a telescope that can see from The Netherlands to Coventry, then we should be alright.

Why are people shocked it isn’t being streamed? They were only streamed last year as you couldn’t go in person.

Northampton have sold over 750 tickets for tonight's game. Not a bad effort.
