Paninistickers

I'm a late adopter if the ol firestick....and once that line is crossed, it's impossible to comprehend why anyone would pay sky or tnt or anyone else a subscription. Baffling.

Probably not long. KP's thirst for hard cash is unquenchable. Evidenced by every single penny we are very due we are on the blower to Macquarie begging for the readies immediately and in doing so, losing 10% of its value. The organisation may be asset rich. But definitely cash poor. And once those assets go....

It needs moving though, to the garden.. A club owner died at the stadium in dramatic and upsetting circumstances. It may sound insensitive, but that shouldn't be a Munich or Hillsborough level memorial. They were young players and fans who all died 'in the line of duty'.

Haha, the absolute perfect replica of my experience said computer shop

Speaking of 'awful place' in that area, I recall a small computer games shop,.somewhere off churchgate / at the back of what is now highcross / east bond street. I was never much into 80s gaming, but had a spectrum and wanted to kinda join in with schoolmates and apprehensively entered the shop, asked nervously if he did 'games for spectrum' and was roundly mocked and verbally abused by the shop owner. Obvs I never dared go in again. But learnt a very good business lesson that day. Edit; that was in response to @Free Falling Foxes post

Anyone ever worked out how many toblerones KP must've flogged to make billions? Say 20 USD average spend per punter. 31 million outbound passengers annually. Say 1 in 10 passengers buy at the duty free. So 3 million toblerones at 20 dollars a pop a year. That's 60 million dollars. Less wholesale cost of toblerone from the cash and carry. Less rent to Bangkok Airport. Less staffing. Less the cost of that absurd skyscraper of theirs. Hmmmmmm

I'll be very disappointed to see Stephy go. But when you've had to play second fiddle to someone who can't even kick a ball properly in Bob Reid, I'd imagine he's begging his agent to find anywhere and anybody

True, yeah, we do have other debts but was just making the point it wasn't his benovalence that made him write off 400m.. And yup, 100m plus debts is more attractive but then again, there's always the Glazers' way too.Just finance the whole purchase via debt.

He's wrote nothing off. Instead of owning a 100m business with 400m debts we are a 500m business with no debt.

'Moire here' ??? Ders moire to oireland dan dis..

He needs to disassociate himself from the Dutchman's narcissism and the Rudkin/Whelan 'dont mention the war' lala land shithshow. He shows judgement. Good luck to him

Brussels kinda fascinates me. It ain't a European city. It's Cairo, or Beirut or Syria. I had a fantastic meal there recently at a cheapjack Syrian gaff. Just can't work out if I like the place for its middle Eastern vibe or I'm appalled. It's essentially a bigger, better Leicester, except substituting Indians for the middle Eastern immigration

You can just imagine they'll appoint Paul Fotheringham Hexckinbottom Postlethwaite or some other Uber Yorkshire name. It's what Sheff U do.

Exactly. 90% of the work is done. Not even any planning ffs

If you believe that, then I won't ruin the Santa claus story for you

I see the government has gone balls deep to support the Oxford Cambridge line to the tune of 3.5bn. Been 15 years in the discussion and build, yet still a good decade away. I can't still get my head round from 1840 to 1900, the UK built an entire network from scratch. In 60 years. Yet in the same time frame by 2035, this era will have built hs1, HS2, Bristol to portishead, Nottingham to Mansfield and Oxford to Cambridge. That's it.

I never get excited over small quick wingers. It's a limited shelf life. Unless Kante started out as a winger. As that worked fairly well

Exactly this. Decent managers and coaches are out there by the thousand for league one and two jobs, let alone ours. But Whelan Rudkin and Top narrow down the search to only those whose agent have submitted a CV and then to those they've heard of, somewhat narrowing the available options by 99.9%

Is he though? Football possibly plays only a miniscule part of Top's life. Equally likely is that Top views City,.and football general,.a little like I might occasionally check the gas and electric and car insurance prices. He's Thai. Even if he was an absolute football obsessive, his knowledge of the game would be on par (at best) with a 7 year old UK football obsessive.

Atmosphere was not quite as good as I was hoping, I think to the excessive music.. There's a definite change for the better, without a doubt. There were a few parties there like you see at the racing nowadays. That's new. More 20, 30 somethings who stood up, cheered and punched the air for wickets, that's more noticeable. The Stench and Benno has now 60 or 70 hardcore instead of 10-15. But music plays from, say, catch to the next ball. A good 90 seconds or so..Which means the improved atmosphere has been drowned out and died out by the time the bowler starts his next run . Also means bowlers at end of over never heard applause for a good over. Batsmen who played a good innings never heard the claps as they came off. I know it's a T20 thing, not county thing. But just shortening the music from 90 seconds to 20 seconds would be much better

They've flogged those dead horses for years. Waste of time. Last night the pics looked as if they appealed to their base. Bars aplenty. Food trucks. More booze. Men. It's the stuff of nightmares for Susan whelan. The 3k who were at Trent bridge for the final two years ago showed how well the team bonded with a small but raucous support. Back to the old Sunday league days you mentioned, families would picnic at their cars on the old grassy Bennet end car park. If they gave up those little pods + half of that almost totally unused Bennett end / milligan road stand + some outfield.....create a grassy embankment (maybe with with some brick bbqs) you'd have a mini Sydney hill few picnics and barbies on the go..

County's small support has always been anachronistic. A largely white working class crowd located in an unfashionable white working class part of the city. The fancy dress middle class stag do bollox at England matches and the big counties with the geriatric scorecard scorers are a million miles from the basic Grace Road. And there's something kinda cool about our team and that type of support right now.

Patel didn't need to get out like that either.. Nice to win with loads to improve on. Crowd looked great on the cameras

That's what a normal functioning business would do. But ours isn't a club. It's a cult. It's all about Thai things. What a fall from grace. Beholden to a country famous only for stifling humidity and trannys.
