Seventyseven

Broad had a good ashes series and brought down the curtain to his superb career with a wicket on his final ball bowled and a 6 on his final ball batting. far more deserving than a World Cup losing goalkeeper. but then it’s a public vote so this kind of thing is going to happen

I’m pretty sure the Nottingham Ice Stadium loses money despite the amount of acts they have on. The whole stand expansion probably depends on the viability of making money on the development and that seems unlikely. with what was said by the club it seems unlikely this will ever get off the ground.

Why don’t Nuneaton ground-share at Hinckley LRFC?

Good call that, he got 4 in the first half as they won 6-1 last night. He was superb.

Many of their fans wanted Mitch Austin from Harborough. He was an assistant there at one point. Thankfully Mitch as agreed a new contract to stay at Harborough for another 3 years.

They tend to draw in 200-250 for your average league games. They have over 1000 kids playing for their junior teams, that’s a lot of money in subs. A fair amount of sponsors, decent cup run and who knows maybe someone dips in their own pocket. Chelmsford City today in the FA Trophy, should be good

Getting Joel Carta back is decent too, very good player who the manager really believes in.

No need to panic, we were never going to keep winning. There have been a few games where we were lucky to pick up wins so this was going to happen. we will be alright there’s enough to get out this league and then I’ll worry about the PL as we will need investment and 8 decent signings to stand a chance of staying up.

I think all our local sides deserve better attendances. It’s only Coalville who really pull them in.

He only played a handful of games, I heard it was mutual as he’s doing his coaching badges with Leicester (u18s I think). He never really got going but you could tell he had quality. Harborough have won the last six league games without conceding.

They aren’t really anywhere near FFP having sold Johnson for £50m, as his home grown it all goes in the accounts rather then spread out over a contract. I think our dislike of Forest clouds judgement, they did well yesterday against a decent villa side. They’ve made good signings, we are way behind.

It was better than this drivel between two of europes elite.

Exactly. The Championship.

It wasn’t long ago we were better than them. They made loads of changes too. im not complaining about tonight but it just shows where we are.

It wasn’t the refs fault we lost. We are just miles behind these teams now. But never mind, league is what matters.

I can’t believe any club would spend a few million on a player with a stress fracture to the back. I’m assuming it was missed during the medical and this ‘one for the future’ was to save face. Let’s be honest he was bought for the championship.

Barely good enough for the Championship. Nowhere near good enough for the PL.

Norwich losing Omobamidele so late to Forest can only be good for us.

It concerns me a bit that a club who have barely had a striker for a couple of years deem him surplus to requirements.

It was coming, not really sure how we managed the 4 wins coming into this.

As for Cooper, not much chance of him going yet. Fans love him and they have actually played alright this season (barring the cup in which they made 10 changes).

Forest have sold Johnson for £47.5m which goes straight into FFP. If they make a £12m signing on a 4 year contract that’s just £3m per year against FFP.

We’d have been no different. It’s what happens. Not really worth having a fight and a ban over.

A training mode Man City isn’t more competitive than any of those sides.

I must have watched a different game yesterday. They embarrassed us and killed the game in 30 mins. (Not unique to us). They then took their foot off the gas and made loads of changes with an eye on upcoming games. They didn’t break sweat. I think there is a lot of straw clutching going on.
