Thanks DD - yes, if successive trust boards have failed/not capable to get a grip of the rewrite it makes sense to pay a professional consultant.

Same. Sometimes it’s actually good to pay for an expert.

I haven't read the new constitution yet but, for whatever reasons, the DTB has failed year after year in its ambition to rewrite it. It looks like Dave Boyle has managed to do it and I don't see paying him a few bob as a problem.

Not sure what he actually does ?

For ya lads n lasses with a finger on the pulse, how long has Dave Boyle been the paid consultant by the DTB /constitution updates/rewrites en all?

Carshalton - If nothing else, after 40+ years working for the railway I retained my free travel when I retired.

A bit of a schoolboy error for Brentford to wear a Sunderland strip against Newcastle.

It is also no surprise to me that our best run of form came when Browne was suspended.

Talking of not taking issue with collective performances, it's worth reading the OS write-up of yesterday's match. Not a single word suggesting that any of the players, or the team collectively, put in a below par performance. Indeed, the only normative comment on our team's performance was that somebody made a great ball over the top.

REPD - the reason why Browne gets it in the neck from me is that he is fucking lazy and the last couple of times I saw him his laziness almost cost us a couple of goals. He is the best player we have technically but he does not GAF. That might be a big clue why he had dropped down to play for us.

Our Tim, who art in Wetherspoons Hallowed by thy name Pints of bitter come to where we sit down on chairs that are covered in semen Give us this day our daily red and forgive us for spilling as forgive those who spill against us and lead us not into Yates wine bar but deliver to us IPA for thine is the brandy the vodka and whisky for ever and ever

In my church last night, one of our fans i know was drowning his sorrows after going to Peterborough. He left at half time when we were 3-0 down 😂

I promised myself that I would no longer post any criticism of any player, but the team, collectively need to take issue with their recent performances and decide where the want to be at the end of the month. Midtable obscurity or leading the League.

In church this morning I gave thanks to the Lord for the 25 points we have accumulated to date this season. Even so, we are looking at the desperate reality of being just 10 points clear of the drop zone, a gap that could soon be eaten away. Amen.

And me OI

We need Stevens back. And Hippo & Asiimwe. Hutch needs game time to see if he can still cut the mustard. And where the heck is Foyo? Hackford to start v Bromley as we need him to play as well as we know he can, rather than as he played v Gateshead.

Hope your bank balance can afford a train ticket to Exeter or Newton Abbott or wherever they play

The train will happily take the strain should I wake up in time ;)

I see that Bert is already trying to guilt me into driving him to Exeter AGAIN next week.....

Thanks Meadow. I thought it wasn't just this place.

I'm in.

The issue is withj Chrome not WUP. It's fine using Adblock Browser.

25 seconders? It was already nigh on impossible for a members resolution to pass, now it’s bloody difficult to even raise one. I had hoped the new set of rules would encourage owners to have a voice but these proposals seem to aim to dampen that voice :( I do hope that’s a oversight which can be rectified in the consultation.

Morning all. If you really want to, a proper SW19 report on yesterday is now up - [Link]

I'm happy to do that
