The only way you'd get one for only a season or two would be to pick one up from an individual seller at the end of season 3 or 4 of a 5-year term. Picking one up from the club direct (if available, and I suspect they will be this season) would tie you in for 5 years.

That's true. But we don't - Solly, while excellent, is currently crocked and, even when he isn't, doesn't have Tariq's sheer pace - and the oppo know that, meaning that they can continue to use that tactic to nullify him, at least for the moment.

Me too for the same reason. Plus, imo, there were signs in his last three (-ish) games for us that the oppo had started to suss him out...

Yes

:smile: Other than the cost, which makes me wince every 5 years as I look at the total sum I’m committing too, the requirement to wear a lanyard in the club is the thing that grinds my gears more than anything else*. I bloody hate it. *Mind you, my mother politely clapping the opposition...

It’s only that much if you assume there are no home cup games that season...and it’s 5 years into the future...but, yes, it’s still expensive.

I’m 99% sure the answer is yes. I went for a 5-year term for Mum’s seat (for obvious reasons), so have no personal knowledge, but recall conversations with other newer members who did buy a new 50-year license and they said that their license was 50 years from date of purchase. A quick call to...

The initial cost of a lifetime (actually 50 years, and we’re 10 years in, if they were bought when 1901 first opened) license was £1k + VAT. Owners of the license can sell them for whatever sum they can get for them. Some have tried to make a profit; I am not aware of any that have succeeded. I...

If I understand his situation correctly, Giraffe may be interested in this post.

Maxwell. You said nothing about excluding bobbing.

Turnip

Yes. Concierge service, gardeners, good security and monitored alarms, window cleaner, and, ideally, a trustworthy neighbour. Bob’s your uncle.

I suspect Churchill. He was PM during the war. Lose that, and i think my life would have been radically different.

While I would concede that leaving the Goldstone may, with a lot of hindsight, have turned out to have been a butterfly moment, I am absolutely positive that, for me at least, looking at pictures like the ones in the OP gets no easier. It was a punch in the gut opening this thread. For all its...

Isn't it more likely that the top plate would rise, thus opening the lid of the bin rather than crushing the recycling? I think you've just invented the internal bin lid opener. Patent the idea, quick.

It’s a euphemism. Google it; but not in polite company.
