I really liked the way PB dealt with the parking whinge.

Other stadia such as WHL have next to no parking, the club rely on third party landowners so it’s beyond the club’s control. In essence, it’s a bonus or privilege when available.

I’m guessing the caller owned some 1901 Platinum seats and had wrongly assumed that they could rock up to Bennett’s Field for every game forever, with a two minute walk to their seats.

The parking situation is what it is and isn't PB's fault but actually that annoyed me when he said that because the location of the Amex on the outskirts of town is completely different to WHL as are the transport options and exit routes. The Leicester game where there is no parking and a Sunday train service which is likely to be WELL below what most people are used to will be interesting to say the least (again, it is what it is and mostly outside the club's control and we will all just have to be patient).

Surrounded by the Downs, non-car sustainable transport was always THE Amex blueprint, long before Barber joined the club. We were all meant to get there by train, bus, coach, walk or cycle. It was in all the planning packs.

Bennett’s Field, The Bridge and uni parking was a bonus that came along later.

With landowners free to withdraw as and when they please.

Posh bird does bucketloads of bootlicking.

She’s lucky we let her watch a man’s game.

Then the crux …. moaning about the parking.

Lol. As if she can actually park a car.

Bantz!

Of course - no dispute with that (although uni parking has been there since day 1 and has eased the burden on public transport) but I just don't think you can compare to WHL for example. I guess the loss of Mithras House P&R hasn't helped either. Bring on the monorail

The complainant now joins tens of thousands of other supporters in a time-consuming mixed modes of transport malarkey getting to and from games.

Money doesn’t always buy you everything in life.

I just get the bus or walk but I live within a distance to do that. I'm currently moaning at a staff member of Network Rail about their maintenance timings for the Leicester game & I'm a bit miffed that walk is going to be my only option, as Coldean Lane is closed (2 separate issues). I can't moan at PB for that though.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

They didn't ask mine.

Should have sent it to me. There were only about 30 of us there!

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Ha! An old picture. Graham’s beard actually still present and correct. Apologies for the excitement.

That was the only startling bit of news to come out of this thread. I was shocked and dismayed to read the beard had gone only to later learn it was fake news.

Just because your question was asked and answered, don't go getting all sexist on women's parking ability!

Lamptey could get some minutes vs Swansea. Interesting.

Ahem, need to shift some tickets….?

The club said it was a 550 attendance sell out.

What did we learn tonight apart from strikers don’t improve teams wing backs and midfielders though great lads don’t give you a headache like them pesky strikers

He said he wouldn't take the easy route of signing a new striker that didn't fit our model even though it would be easier and get fans off his back.

He also said that looking at the fine margins of last season he believes our current strike force can improve and that's his responsibility.

So not quite what you said.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Did we confirm a new world record.......most months out for a hammie?

That really is some PR bullshit, they spent all summer trying to coax Nunez to the club after the Gonzalez deal fell through.

If he can get the numbers from our current crop then hats off, can’t really see it though if it was that easy clubs wouldn’t be paying millions for strikers that can finish.

Are you responding to the post you quoted?

If so your reading of it is extremely different to mine.

Calm down dear!

 

[Change at Barnham]

It was well presented, Jonny did a great job hosting it and the audience members who made the effort to attend asked some thoughtful questions.

A worthwhile exercise which shared information with us and once again reminded me that we have some very clever, decent people running our club.
I like the thought of a pre-season tour to North America when the time is right.

According to NSC’s finest, including a certain Swede, you can’t coach finishing. Odd.
