    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2021/22 Edition

    We were 2 of them for our first non league game in donkeys years. Enjoyed it, better quality than expected and decent atmosphere. Good to watch with pint in hand too. Will definitely be returning. Small steps

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    IIRC that Swansea team was predominately a reserve team I think you're right that he was a huge talent as a (younger) youngster. I just think he's got age on his side and might have been better starting off at one of the 'bigger' L1 clubs that have a real need for a goalscorer...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    We don't really know how good he is. He's still young and I agree with GT49er, better off dropping down, being 'prolific', getting his confidence sky high and then moving up vs either stalling or not getting game time at Boro and then confidence and desire being sapped out. Who knows, but I...

    [Albion] Solution for new striker

    I agree that with those 3 we should be ok, not sure about top 10, but definitely avoid a relegation fight. But I think the club might take a punt and bide time. Maupay and Trossard have proved to be fairly resilient and you'd hope Welbeck could be good for 7/8 games at a minimum. We have the...

    [Albion] Aaron Connolly - joining Hull permanently

    Agree. Sadly I suspect the move to Boro will be a stepping stone to oblivion. Hope the lad proves me wrong

    [Football] Norwich fans tell Billy Gilmour to f*** off back to Chelsea, how about BHA step in?

    I've got a mate who's a Norwich STH and he reckons he's shitehouse

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    Of course they are taking advantage. They can simply jam a £20+£20 charge on me without any fear of the consequences. It's as overt a nickel and dime rip off as I can imagine. I'm paying for something but getting zero value whatsoever, although you will argue that I get to share a ticket that I...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    I haven't seen any figures nor do I think I have suggested I have. I am one of what appears many (not a majority perhaps but a large enough audience) that find the intorduction of a £20+£20 charge unreasonable and unpaltable. Maybe it does put more money into the coffers of the club but it will...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    Of course not, but I do listen to them with an open mind and most certainly will adapt and modify my services based on their feedback. Indeed we (as do many businesses) invest large sums to understand the views of our customers. We don't have a captive audience though so can't take advantage...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    You are quite right Paul. I am able to successfully run a $400m business but I can't grasp even the basic fundamentals of a football club and how best to deliver its product

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    Agree, and if he backed up his arguments with real life data, not assumptive or extrapolated hypothesis, or a couple of quotes, then I for one would grant him more credibility as indeed I hope many would. We may still not like the outcome of course, but at least we would know the argument is...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    Of course the vast majority will be down to Covid but that shouldn't hide the fact that there are a fair number of disenchanted supporters. Do the club care? I'd suggest not from the reply from PB. Much is said about his stance that he's always right and he will back up his position with some...

    I was a little reluctant to post fearing spys will report back to he who know everything about everything who will now chase the fella down and demand £3 royalties for every box sold

    [Misc] Amex Jigsaw

    Sure I posted this but can't see it so apol's if appearing twice I've finished this and before taking to charity shop thought I'd see if anyone here wanted it. Unfortunately I lost a piece but not noticeable amongst the other 499. Deal is need to collect from Seaford. 1st to say wants it gets...

    [Football] Spurs kicked out of ECL

    This is the first season I believe, maybe you're confusing with Europa League. Leicester have been dumped into this having got knocked out of Europa League and Rodgers said he didn't even know what it was. It's a total waste of time, should just be a stand alone thing for clubs from the back...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    If I were a smart man like Barber I would absolutely seize that opportunity. Using non attnedance at Wolves is plain daft and easily shot down. But if you go through this thread that isn't the reason that's being used my the vast majority. In my case I gave him our 2 tickets to my next door...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

    The perspective is that the sum total of all those £20's will pay maybe a week or two of wages for that striker. The club have found another way to nickel and dime their loyal customer's and they do it, just because they can. It's cheap shot and thankfully I never worked in a business that...

    [Politics] Lib Dems Win North Shropshire By-Election

    I'd be surprised if it does. BB will shrug this off by lunchtime with the normal mid term drivvle and announce he's 'getting on with the job' (cue photo shoot at yet another vaccination centre)
