    Surely  the  temperatures  around  you  should  be  + 30*C  Pliers,  especially  after  doing  Moulesy  that  BIG BIG favour  by  beating  B City,  so  you've  only  got  the  slightest  of  zephyrs  to  worry  about  wink

    The magic of the cup again tomorrow . Apparently Brum have won very few away matches this season so you just know what's going to happen. The GS fancies sitting in a different part of the stadium as it's all pay on the gate he may get his wish.

    Off topic, I know, but what do footy fans think of Leeds United's new badge?

    In general Town fans love it, we haven't had such a good laugh in ages.Apparantly they consulted 10,000 fans before they came up with this, word is most of them were Millwall fans.

    Sorry  to  see  the  result  Brue,  but  I  must  admit  I'm  full  of  admiration  for  any  Bloke  who  spends  half  a  day  or  more  driving  down  the  motorways  from  Motherwell  to  play  for  Yeovil.  I'd  be  fit  to  Sleep  for  Yeovil  never  mind  run  round  a  footy  pitch  wink

    I enjoyed seeing it played on an ordinary pitch, away from all the big money.

    Ah,  but  they  all  need  the  money  Brue.   frown

    Heard  Chairman  of  a  certain  East  Midland  club  on  BBC  this  lunchtime  and  he's  brave  enough  to  reduce  the  entrance  fee  for  next  weeks  match  against  Crewe  to  £2 : 00   surprised  Yes  TWO  QUID  !! ( Some  of  you  might  say  that's  too  dear  at  half  the  price  )

    He's  hoping  to  get  a  few  more  bodies  thro'  the turnstiles  regularly ( ?? do  they  still  use  them  ?? )  'cos  they've  pulled  up  the  attendances  from  a  low  of  3,000  to  8,000  now  but  Still  lose  £1,500,00  a  year.

    One  and  a  half  million  is  quite  a  sum  for  any  'Little  Club '  to  find  every  year  before  they  start  building  up  any  cash  in  hand.

     

    p.s.  how  much  per  week  does  the  latest  MU  player  get  per  week,  I  wonder  undecidedyell ??

    Well at half a million a week or thereabouts and Yeovil's total weekly wage bill coming in at less than 40k it's good to hear Yeovil have done well from this match financially. smilewink

    I'm pretty sure the match attendance money can't have much impact these days the further up the leagues you go. Yesterday there were 12,000 or so at the JSS, the average ticket price would have been about £10 so £120,000. That wouldn't pay a third of a Man U player's weekly wage.

    True, but  despite  their  Crewelty ( innocent )  yesterday  Nutters  County  pulled  17,000  in  that's  over  double  the  regular  attendance.  So  if  a  few  hundred  or  more  stay  on  as  'Regular  Attenders'  they'll  soon  recover  anything  lost  on  the  gate  receipts  yesterday.

    I'm a bit late reading this Brian, the gate at the JSS was half the normal gate. That's the magic of the cup 🤓

    Rog,  are  you  telling  me  that  it  was  just  the  Glory  of  hosting  a  League  Match  against  Crewe  Alexandra  and  nothing  else  that  got  an  extra  eight  or  nine  thousand  fans  thro  the  gates  at  Notts  County  --  surely  not  surprised

    I wouldn't know. What I do know is we've got a very important match on Sunday against Bournemouth. The last time they came to the JSS they stuffed us 4-0 and our manager resigned immediately after the match.

    They beat us 4-0 at their place earlier in the season and played most of the second half with 10 men. As Sir Alex would say its squeaky bum time.

    Do  hope  you  get  a  worthwhile  result  against  Bournemouth,  Rog.

    Certainly  hope  the  'Red Button'  report  of  your  game  is  a  lot  better  than  Crewe's  was  today.  It  was  about  as  welcoming  as  some  posts  on  "What's  tha'  at  now ?",  but  with  hope  for  improvement  !

    Well  at  least  you  managed  to  SCRAPE  a  LUCKY three  points  today,  Rog,  Altho'  I'm  hearing  that  the  REF  was  seen  out  last  night  COURTING  one  of  the  Huddersfield  Club  Secretaries  and  he  was  heard  promising  her  the  very  Earth.surprised

     

    And  a  well  deserved  three  points  for  that  nice  Mr  Benitez  or  some such  up  there  in  Nippy  Newcastle  innocent  .

    For some reason my GS thinks Mr Oliver is a good ref. I didn't see anything to disprove that yesterday.

    The Terriers just about dragged themselves out of the bottom three with a very good performance and the second 4-1 win in the week!

    Now it's on to the magic of the cup next week, Man U back at the JSS and after the way they played at Newcastle yesterday I believe we could just, maybe, possibly, perhaps have a slight chance of getting into the next round 🤞🤞🤞

    My  fingers  crossed  for  us  both,  Rog,  'cos  we've  got  an  easy ( ! ) away  game  tomorrow  --  us  in  the  nether  regions  of  Div  2   away  to  Achrinton  Stanley  {  WHO  ?? }  from  2nd  place  !!

    I certainly do Brian......

    Accy Stanley received the princely sum of £10000 from 'that' advert and for a founder member of the league who went bust, it was from the advert Stanley were able to secure a ground and manager..... the rest is history!

    Like a Phoenix from the ashes, they reformed and went straight through the divisions to eventually climb back into the league in 2006 and I watched from the terraces for 10 years until I moved.

    Still the smallest club in the league I continue to follow them with interest, the only 'live' game I get to is at nearby Gresty Road.

    Milk's not only good for your bones and teeth!! 

    "Come on Stanley" 👍😀

    I'm wondering how many saw MOTD2 last Sunday. Apparently one of our substitutes was changing his shorts on the bench when BT Sports' cameras caught a glimpse. I've seen a still photo and considering the fact that it was a bitterly cold day it was quite impressive.🙄

    Cold  morning  but  at  least  there's  a  bit  of  sun  out  there  --  might  be  even  more  if  the  blessed  Crewe  Alexandra  score  a  half  dozen  &  get  their  merited  three  points  today.  Then  I'll  probably  wake  up  to  find  my  bath  waters  gone  cold,  such  is  life  frown

    Will a trip to bottom of the table Barnet prove a potential banana 🍌for Stanley? Fingers crossed for an away win.
