  1. I think I’m right in saying your season ticket won’t get her any discount, at least I’ve not noticed any when buying tickets for folk this season.
  2. “Just so they could say something negative about it”? Far from the truth. From our angle, in that instant when he hit the ball it was rising pretty sharply. Quite simply the guy doesn’t have a lot of form for hitting the target. It was a good strike no question.
  3. We weren’t in line with the shot, we were the other side of the goal with Loft in front of us. As he smashed it and it rose we were expecting to keep going. Like you say, he had little time to think. Chizz was a little unlucky to score from Lofts pass. I’d have Chislett start before Wilson personally.
  4. We really are. He’s not only raising his own profile but the profile of the club as a whole.
  5. It can hardly be described as a tome Hops. An outpouring of emotion. As you say, best to let it go.👍🏻
  6. I honestly think everyone thought he’d smashed it over. Nobody around me could believe it when the roof of the net bulged. Fantastic celebrations. That’s what football is all about.
  7. Thousands? In that case I can only put it down to the world we live in today, when a well meaning, albeit badly worded, letter causes such outrage. I’ll have to admit that most fans I’ve spoken to in the flesh weren’t particularly arsed about the contents of the letter beyond the basics of it defending Flitcroft. General opinion ranging from one of some sympathy towards her predicament to a feeling she’d had some kind of meltdown, poured her thoughts into a jumble of words and put them out there for all to see in a moment of weakness. Who knows?👍🏻
  8. I took it as a plea from the heart for fans to back her judgement, from someone feeling the pressure and no doubt overcome to a certain degree by emotion. Probably one of those things that someone says in the heat of the moment and then in the cold light of day regretted. Agree or disagree with the content, it really wasn’t as big a deal as many folk are making out.
  9. You’re right, but if that letter from Carol stings then you’ve gone soft. I am looking forward to that breakfast.👍🏻
  10. Apologies? Why not just let it go? It was simply misguide from someone under a lot of pressure, no worse than that in my view.
  11. Really looking forward to this one now after yesterday’s announcement, not so much the football, more the pre-match stuff. Think I’ll have double gin on my corn flakes tomorrow instead of just the single.
  12. Spot on. It’d be all too easy for Moore to jump in and sign a trialist free agent but what’s the point if they won’t make a difference?
  13. You part timer, a real fan would boycott their mates……and that’s why I haven’t got any. 🙄
  14. Who knows. It seems really strange to go from part time to full time to jacking it in in such a short . More likely Carol tried to quell the unrest with her letter and rant but results ultimately dictated. Ultimately Carol is obviously a very loyal employer, illustrated by her sticking by managers, and the DoF in this instance, past what could be seen as their “sell by date”. Sadly the individuals concerned haven’t managed to repay that loyalty by turning results around. It’s cost us a place in league 1 in all likelihood. It’s not life or death though.
  15. With Flitcroft gone maybe a few of those fence sitters will buy tickets for this vital game and join the 800 odd hardliners. If you’re after an excuse then Burton’s a great town for a few pre-match beers.
  16. Not sure about that, he only recently went from reportedly being part time to full time.
  17. True. I think if you’re having a 2 season hiccup then something major has to change. The step backwards as you put it should’ve been the sacking of Clarke. A new manager should then come in and take us forward, not necessarily massively but a higher placed finish in the league in this second season would’ve given us a good foundation to build from. Sadly we’ve regressed.
  18. Thanks to David Flitcroft for his part in steering us to promotion and building the structure of the club from where it was. Beyond that we don’t as yet know if he walked or was pushed. If he walked fair play to the guy for taking that decision, if not, Carol deserves our thanks for making what would’ve been a tough choice. I’d certainly stick with the DoF model but the manager should always pick which players are to be recruited, the DoF can look after everything else outside of the first team.
  19. I’m not surprised by the low cost of the Kane statue, it looks like someone asked a group of year 11’s to “make something out of chocolate”.
  20. Good to hear Nip, everyone will feel much so better knowing they have your positivity on board.
  21. Shouldn’t take much pondering, should it?
  22. The only thing I’d say to that is keep an open mind. 👍🏻
  23. Good luck to Baylee. Hopefully he’ll get a good run out be able to make his mark. I think the fact he’s only 17 is lost on some of our fans, although fair to say the fact that he’s been promoted so soon is as much testament to our dire transfer dealings as it is his own undoubted talent.
  24. I’d guess Yates knows a darn sight more about it than you know……but what do I know. 🤷🏻‍♂️
