I'll translate for you Harty ... Official Speak = "New Markets" Real World = "ooohhh, money!"

Exactly. That is how they work, they are significantly discounted wages (not zero) which are then topped up with excessive appearance money.

Andy Carroll signed one this summer to go back to Newcastle.

Can't blame them, how are they supposed to know when our own app was at a loss.

It's a very sad reality, but perfectly understandable. This is the aspect to last night which seems to have been completely lost on the club. We are loyal fans, we support them through thick and thin. Whether it was season tickets at Gillingham, the Hereford game, or march to protest about...

Against other top flight teams ...... who barely need to get out of 2nd gear because they have the game in the palm of their hand against a team who are completely outmatched. Let's see how we do selling Cup games, especially League Cup games in the future under Potter, because we sent out a...

And yet, you had no sense of a smirk on my face as I typed my response. Ok, as you were.

I know my basic England and Wales geography from football teams, and away games. I know my basic "County" knowledge from Cricket. Therefore Sussex is a county, as is Middlesex. Anything else is just white noise. Also, my years tend to run August to May, with some summer, maybe an "International...

What an indictment on how bored you were with the game. I'm a numbers man all day long, but blimey, I've lost all interest in the game if that is going through my head.

If we are taking this game and extrapolating it out to see what he delivers in our future, I would say the most likely thing it will be remembered for is being the end of us being able to sell tickets for a Cup game at anything north of a fiver. Why pay £15-20 when you can watch the U23s for free?

This. Absolutely this. End of thread.

Was I sounding down? Sorry, I thought I was making a witty observation. I'll get my coat.

By that logic, once safe from relegation, do we just rest everyone up for August?

Personally, I'm disgusted, and if I'd have made the trip, and paid my money, expecting to see at least a fringe 1st team out there, then I'd be demanding an explanation. U23 games are FREE to attend, yet last night we charged regular EFL prices, and put out the U18s. When 6 of the starting XI...

That's another thread ticked off. Done. I assume it is a game some people are playing, that "BREXIT" must get mentioned somewhere in every thread.

What happened? Were the regular administrators "injured" and we let the kids have a go for a while, because we just can't be bothered with Wednesdays, and felt we needed to rest up ahead of a busy few days on NSC.

What is your definition of "injured"? Is it, "will be perfectly fine for the weekend". Reality is we really can't be bothered with this Cup, and will treat it as a run out for the kids.Tough luck for those who have paid to see the 1st team, and have got to see the U18s with a few others...

Yeah, made a few quid, thanks. Felt almost guilty, it was just like buying money.

Trust Funds. Are they going to ban them?

Pretty much. A lot of nonsense is being spouted. We'd always see Parliament shut down for Conference season, and the extended prorogue was only a matter of a few days. 3 or 4, I think. So it was far more a case of grandstanding than anything else, as is recalling the MPs now. We still have the...
