Just an overall look over the weekend. Under 18's lost. Under 21's lost Leicester ladies lost. Mens team lost. A bit of a theme going on here.

So the question is then, why go?

You see those flight restrictions don't mention (in any section) about flying over unsuccessful football team grounds. 100 ft it is then.

Other than that JF, every thing else is just spiffing.

Sky will probably just show him comming out of the tunnel on the day, then cover the game in the studio with our jinx Clinton Morrison, so we will definitely lose anyway. It will be a shame, but all good things must come to an end. Thanks Jamie in advance.

You could say that our board are very poor at running a modern day football entity. The astonishing thing is they are running three now (indirectly) with the same outcome.

It's not just that though is it. Transportation costs, catering, finding some where to park when it's an evening kick off and playing away. Also the time you need to allow to get to the ground before the whistle and the late nights returning home, all this just to watch your team get stuffed 4 or 5 nil as of lately. That takes some bottle.

I think we need to show common sense even more.

Sorry to offend some people but I always thought it was a little ostentatious in flying into and out of a stadium with all the safety concerns of building proximity. I understand the failure of a mechanical part is the reason in this matter, but I remember when helicopters landed/took off in Mandela Park on special occasions, there use to be a Fire Appliance in attendance in case of difficulties. This may or probably not have made a difference to any life loss in our case. Just a thought.

May be the case but it still comes under the umbrella of total running cost of the club, having its own training ground etc, etc.

We don't need two clubs and the expense of running a ladies team in the WSL either.

With reference to the comment that the ground expansion plans now ĺook outdated is because they are. I agree that I do not foresee the club revisiting this proposal, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't given the evoluting nature of both the sport and associated infrastructure. I too agree with the quote above, that this expansion ship sailed long ago and with it any returning tide. Anybody know what the long term forty day snd night weather forecast is?

Wasn't Palace the favourites for the drop this season. I think we are in trouble.

So, it seems like a poor effort all round then?

Just thinking if we contracted O'reilly construction, we would have a complete stadium second tier, all made from 4 by 2.
