The AELTC also have a huge plot of land in Grand Drive, used for tennis. How much land do they need for a fortnight competition, once per year? Golf, tennis, both elitist sports when played in Wimbledon. Where's the benefit to the community?

Fair enough, I'm definitely in favour, others will be against.

OI, Not the top of my bucket list! We certainly don't need an extension of AELTC. It will be ten years of building work and road closures just for those that can afford champagne and strawberries and cream.

pete - when I was first taken to Wimbledon Park in the mid-fifties I asked to walk round the lake and was told half of it wasn't open to the public. If the AELTC get the go-ahead I may be able to walk round it before I die. So the WPRA, which has now been taken over by the people from the posh side of the tracks, gets zero sympathy from me.

Never thought I'd feel sorry for WPRA, but seeing this [Link] I must say, they may have a point this time.

Probably replacement for another ex Womble, Jason Prior, who must be about 80 now

Dons Outlook-rumour has it Ollie Palmer has been offered a 3 year contract by Dorking Wanderers

Some of the Clubs struggling at the start are teams you'd expect to feature at the top end. Like Reading (8th last season, just missing out), Plymouth (relegated) & Wycombe (lost in PO Semi)

Far too early to see what Orsi is about. Works hard and potentially useful. He did set up Hackford well for the goal against Gillingham.

6$m, agree about Orsi but I haven't seen a lot him

Most of the new signings look positive. Can't comment on McCoy-Splatt as I've not seen him play. Still early days but so far I've been disappointed with Orsi. He just seems to chase shadows and is no better than Kelly, who isn't good enough either. Orsi seemed an odd signing given he was deemed not good enough for relegation fodder Burton.

Yesterday we went for a high press with 5 at times from their goal kicks and were intent on making them go long. They broke the press on a number of occasions, but on the whole we kept them contained. Our structure is going to be the reason we stay up if we do.

The good thing is that we have replaced Tilley and Neufville well with Asiimwe and Seddon. We have also upgraded our attack with the signings of Hackford and Orsi. We are now able to counter attack. Couple that with a decent defence and we look okay.

Excellent stuff from Rob and Bush. Thank you.

Maybe we *are* well organised in comparison to other L1 sides?

First Plough Lane By Numbers blog of the season is out: [Link] A stats-based look at our positive start to the season.

Yeah I think we're good to stay up. Interesting that Barnsley fans credited us for being well-organised. This seems to be based on reputation and not an accurate description of us yesterday. It was an open game where both teams got in behind the other multiple times.

What I meant to say, is that this team can stay up

We seem to have a good squad of players and a more than competent management team. Not worried about any more additions as I'm sure we have something like a £1m min budgetary gap

Sad thing is, we could do with Joe Piggott (the 2019 edition, not last season's dud)

Despite two goals in the League Cup, Ollie Palmer has not yet made the matchday squad for any of Wrexham's three league matches. I think he would be a great 'final piece' in our attacking locker. We could not afford to match his wages, but he might feel first team action was more important.

StD - this time around, I expect JJ has a bit more of a clue than MR did

In other news the beautiful Sandra Bullock has been filming a new film in the Hamptons worcester park.

In 21 /22 we got 9 points from the first 6 games and we all know what happened that season..

Sorry, to add "you want to keep the opposition attempts on target down"
