With regards Geoff Norcott, regardless of his politics, I just don't find him funny and therefore wouldn't pay to listen to him, tbh.

a4e, fine if you're a school-teacher, but when you take into account all the stuff you're advised to bring, an endless list. You have to make practical decisions, otherwise you get weighed down

2L water, food, camera (mine is pretty heavy), torch, maps, last will & testament;-)
What RK said. I know I can be “somewhat down” on the DTB’s decision making skills, integrity, credibility, fit versus purpose, conduct and overall capability, but if we are in financial trouble (mainly due to all of the above being accepted for 7-10 years and getting worse year on year) then coming out and saying it could hasten our demise.

I know some would like that to get us over the line and into the future more quickly and they’re entitled to that view absolutely. For me when you have boards that have always preferred to bury their heads in the sand then things aren’t likely to change under these circumstances. Plus things are just rumours at the moment though I agree with Hash’s point that these things tend to have a knob of truth butter melting in there somewhere. Can understand the lacklustre performances.
Kentish should be on here. Please think about reinstating him and see how it goes?

I agree with Meadow. I have no desire to look at an ai image because it's not real. Generative ai is the Franchise of the art world. It needs to go away.

I don't think the Club or Trust will issue a statement. Problem being, there's a big tranche 2 bond redemption next year and I expect that there will, in a few months, be a big effort to twist arms to get bonds extended, donated to Club or converted to equity

filed tax return this morning, and will pay tax next week - never my best week of January! Was at another event last night, so could not make Geoff Norcott's gig.

These kind of rumours tend to be exaggerated by agendas but likely do have at least an element of truth in them. Best thing club can do now is issue a statement on finances and where we are at with the 50%+1 vote that was coming in the new year.

Wall of silence not what we need right now
Good to see kentish post on the Facebook page, more rumours than I thought,apparently! Will give whad a listen later, seems if rumours true we are in far worse situation.

Really needs a statement, to either nip rumours in the budget or confirm to the fans.
Come on OI ,you must like his first name:-)

I got endless emails about Norcott, but I had some paint to watch dry whilst washing my hair.

or failing that excitement, Braga v Forest
I would certainly have gone to see my fellow PL programme seller (back in the day) Geoff last night - if I had known it was on! Did not see it once on OS - nor mentioned on here.

I also enjoyed the comedy nights at KM. Was a big fan of Milton Jones back then and felt it was a shame when he started doing the Mock The Week dirge. understood his reasons as he went from the smaller more intimate London comedy circuit to bigger venues and fair enough. Mark Simmons is pretty good nice gentle comedy done well and you just can’t beat Stewart Lee - as long as he doesn’t have too much political stuff in his act.

Saw his Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf thing late last year and it was very good. It’s nice to have a laugh.
Just my little bit of optimism before heading up norf tomorrow morning.

Was gonna say the same Spit about events in general in January. People’s December pay packets stretched as far as they can go before January pay day. Weather is dark and horrible days are long and boring comedy not really something that springs to mind.

No comment specifically on Geoff I don’t know him or his stuff and typically avoid political acts because the subject matter has become unfunny. 1-0 Rotherham tomorrow you can put your mortgage on it it’s the only result possible. I’d take a win if you offered it to me now tbh.
Going for a Rotherham 2 -0 win tomorrow if we go cautious :-(

A right wing comedian probably not aligned to those that attend plough lane events.. bad if people are paying and they can't get the sound correct..(maybe a reason some didn't bother)

I can do my Al.Murray tribute act if called for:-)
Stuart - Norcott isn’t a particularly big name on the comedy circuit, that’s probably why ticket sales were low… 🤔🤷🏻♂️ I remember seeing Dave Gorman and Milton Jones at Kingsmeadow - both well worth the price of the ticket !! 👏

They need to book people that are really well known (and funny…), but their fees are probably prohibitive…
Went to the Geoff Norcott event last night at PL. Sadly ended slightly early due to a medical emergency in the audience and hope the person is ok. I am not sure what is needed at PL to get more people to attend these events. Strange when Geoff can sell out bigger places than this on his national tours. Also the sound last night wasn’t good and echoed terribly which did impact on the event.

£12 for member and £15 for standard price with I would guess no more than 120 in the room.
Kite - always take extra layers with you just in case whenever you’re going up a mountain…. ☺️🥳 Went to the Chiang Mai area in 1982, met an Aussie lad who had recently been released by armed guerillas in Burma (Myanmar) whilst on a trek!! 😲
