Smoked on and off since 18 (now 35) never been a heavy smoker, maybe max 5 per day, some years I haven't at all, but it's a habit I've never been able to shake off, I could go 6 months without one, then a wild night out I'd have a pack a week for 6 weeks as an example, tried disposable vapes in the past year which cut my consumption down to a few packs last year. Currently off both, none this year and I intend to keep it that way - usually stress or drink is the trigger. Horrible habit and I hate it

Has anyone got experience of buying a new home from a small builder? I'm looking at some that aren't on the market, the builder is building 4 large detached houses and I'm not even sure of the price yet, what happens in terms of size of deposit? to secure? I'm not talking about a large scale David Wilson Estate with 300 houses on. Suspect the value will be between 6-900K depending on spec and number of bedrooms. Thanks

Was waiting for someone knowledgeable to jump in, I was about to say the same.

The first episode of traitors was naff, so I cant get any motivation to watch the rest despite everyone telling me it's great.

Given his list as long as your arm of previous misdemeanours it’s no surprise people have gone in 2 footed with him. Drink driving is just such an imbecilic thing to do, partner that with his fortunate circumstances it’s even more unbelievable. The prat shouldn’t play again this season and review at the end of the season.

Are you his legal rep?

Having done a decent amount of travel working, with the best intentions you’ll try what you are doing, in reality it won’t work and you’ll be pissed off and tired - sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s inevitable!

I've got a loan car for a cpl of days while I'm getting some alloy refurbs and its a brand new mini clubman, 73 plate - feels like some old fashion heap of sh*t, terrible compared to an EV - so clunky, just horrible.

What a stupid comment, see how unemotional you'd be if he ran over one of your kids, mrs, relatives etc p*ssed up behind the wheel.

Probably hungover

No I get that. I’m just making the point there are 30 ish people positively making an impact in the singing section, so you wouldn’t need to free up 792 seats to accommodate them.

Why 700? The atmosphere is embarassing but you don't go anymore. OK

Have I missed something, why won't the redevelopment happen? You make lots of good points, there is no doubt the marketing around food, drink and replica kit could be better. Fundamentally I think deep down there just isn't enough interest in it, which goes back to my original point which you didn't quote was people consistently call for the section to be expanded to generate more atmosphere - this will not fix it as there is probably a strong group of 30 people doing it in a section that has capacity for 6/700 people, and hats off to them. There is very little or no chance of people getting in the ground earlier to stop the exodus at 80 mins, the two things aren't related. I think the west stand (as you quoted) already has a light stewarding approach and good food options as it's the corporate part of the ground. We've gone a bit off piste here, I'll have a look at the stadium redvelopment topic and look at what I've missed and why it isn't happening.

Surely the sensible time to do this would be when the stadium is re-developed? Rather than some half hash now. Same goes for food and drink. Is it the marketing dept role to sort safe standing? Whats your point re barely have to work for it, I dont follow? I'm not sure how food, drink and marketing affecting a singing section but you didn't quote the rest of my post, just the last few words.

Don't care how good he is or not, noone who drink drives has my respect, especially someone like him who has the means to get an Uber. A devout Muslim yet boozes and sh*gs about, do me a favour.

Expanding the section is pointless I'm sorry, it's not what people want to hear but in reality there is 30 people max (being generous) waving flags and jumping about all game - what does the section hold, 6/700? Take a cpl of hundred people who didnt want to move to a new seat last year, there was certainly more than 30 people that moved into the section who aren't bothered to join in. Effective;y the section is UFS who have moved down to the bottom, and not been replaced from about 5 rows upwards. Good on them for creating the atmosphere but it doesnt move the needle in a 30,000 crowd. Not sure what the answer is.

Not the end of the world, we’ll still march to promotion as champions come the end of May.

Hats off to Rudkin on this one

No-one can face it

Agree with this, also 18-25yr olds these days aren't as bothred about boozing unlike 10-20+ years ago, many are tee total or reducing their intake, this will contriute to the pub culture too.

Rolling Rock beer, never seen it anywhere apart from Pizza hut when I was a kid.

Can't go tonight due to work committments, and can't list my season ticket for resale? Have I missed a deadline or something. Season ticket wasted for tonight then.

Didn’t see that coming

Definitely, shouldn't be unbearable at Easter, I've been in March and it was hot but not overbearing, October was too hot and I went in Nov last year and it was 30C - perfect. Plenty to do, if you aren't a drinker even better. Pick your hotel carefully, if you want the Palm then I can recommend Sofitel he Palm, fantastic hotel - next door to Atlantis which has the biggest waterpark in the world. Taxi's are cheap, so even though you are a 20 min drive away from downtown it's not an issue. Do Brunch at the Westin, that's awesome - there is a 25ft cheese bar. Quad bike safari, beach clubs. Get the hotel right and you might not even move.

Whatever happened to Danny Ward....oh
