Alan - our previous pop up in Parliament was in 1986 when Thatcher was saying, iirc, what a meritocracy the UK was including the line 'if Wimbledon can reach the First Division'.

Are emojis bigger when shown on mobiles? Even with a large monitor on my PC they are too small for me to distinguish betwen so I follow a4e's advice of ignoring them

Blair in his last PMQ's said it was a daft rule

Woking - sorry…. People can always scroll past the emojis they don’t like… 😇

Good fight from England's batters.

Perhaps we should ban emojis on here too

Years back I played for Wimbledon Rangers in the South Thameside League. We were top of the premier division halfway through the season. However, we had a player who for whatever reason hadn't signed the registration form. He had played for us for 5 years and was happily signing the match card each week. We had all the points deducted for the games in which he played despite it being an admin error and no attempt to play a ringer. Oddly, the league registration secretary was the an official of the club in 2nd place 🤔🤔

Wasn't he called Turdey by many at that time? Perhaps that's what he complained about.

The way I remember Darlogate was that the FA realised their rules were not fit for purpose when a long term accidental registration offence happened. So they appointed someone to oversee the appeal with the intention of cutting the penalty drastically and then turning that into the ongoing penalty. I think you now only lose 3 points unless they think you were taking the piss.

A4E my eyesight is too weak to differentiate emojis on this site so I ignore totally them

Darlogate and not being allowed into the Rymans were both down to rules although wasn't there some discretion / leeway possible on Darlogate?

ML, no yjey didn't, which shows where their priority lies

Anyone know if Northampton played their strongest team against Luton yesterday in EFL trophy

Bloody hope that doesn’t happen, Trigg - it’s time we put on a really good show at home… 🤞🥳

Naz I think the talk is of us typically being crap against them.

I may be wrong, but IIRC Turvey got loads of abuse, inc on here, over Darlo(?)gate. He may have been an old buffer in a blazer but he had stuck up for us with the FA, so in my view some respect and thanks were due; he was only sticking to the (admittedly stupid) rules.

6M - only kidding (hence the 😉), although I confess my attention span isn’t great 🤪 I find it hard to focus on JG’s posts as they’re often “listen to me I’m a hugely successful businessman and I definitely know best ok….” 😯

OI/Woking - yes, I know, hence my 😉 emoji… 😬

Wasn't the other two Raj Parker (the FA's legal representative) and Steve Stride (Villa director)?

6MDM - at least Turvey voted in our favour as part.of the infamous 3 man commission, not that it helped in the end.

A4E if you're not interested and can't skip the posts why not go and wash your hair? Discord is not there for sensible discussion only censored views that suit the DTB and their minions

You know most don't use Discord a4e. I'm sure you can actually manage tl;dr quite well.

A lot of TL;DR on here today… 🤪 Maybe take it to Dischord…? 🫣😉

If this were a normal business and a handful of owners could dictate next steps, nothing is off the table. This isn't. It is effectively wearing a straightjacket that nobody can remove. The thing you hate with a passion has saw to that. Even if the majority of engaged supporters and the DTB wanted rid of it, to do so is nigh on impossible for reasons that have been repeated ad nauseam. Therefore, only administration will see any meaningful change and the hope that whoever brings us out of it does so with the best of intentions and not for something sinister. I don't care if they see the club as a mechanism to self-publicise or to massage their ego as long as they get it on a stable footing and it becomes viable. If we had a bit of success on the pitch too that would be nice as that's the whole point. £43 for an adult ticket in the west stand, which is what my seat will cost on a matchday, to watch crap on the pitch most weeks is not value for money either.

How would you insure you were on the Board and had the power to implement your plans after a rights issue JG? You'd presumably have to buy a big shareholding and line up like minded parties to give you the power to run the club/company. You couldn't fix it a price that would attract me so I am irrelevant but I imagine a large part of the take-up might not want your approach adopted.
