I'm just using this as an opportunity to purchase a new reporter's bag

Regards the Beasant / Law statue, maybe it should be given a clean up and brought inside the ground out of the weather.

That's a shame that they've banned stools ...... I was looking forward to seeing a steward putting his hand into my bag of shit. 😉

Expect some delays getting in for the Reading & MK games if not Newport Co

Sorry, OI, but if they were going to allow you an extra inch, they would have specified a foolscap bag, not an A4 bag.

Michael Carrick is the 2nd longest serving manager in the “big six” clubs.

Depends what’s written on the paper.

The bag I have been using since the sixties just takes a box of A4 paper with about an inch to spare lengthwise. Will it get me banned?

The club should have lockers bags outside, raise some money! Fucking health and safety! Big brother is watching over our every movement.

And to sign off, a quick stat(s) for you- Jackson is the 8 th longest serving manager of the 92. Marco Rose the Bournemouth manager is the 12 th longest serving current premier league manager. He’s been in situ 60 days! Crazy

I give my outside woodcarvings and furniture a coat or two of beeswax every year. Let it soak in, that's the secret. Also, wood has a right and wrong way up when left outside. Top down is correct, provided you can tell. Too long winded as to why. All wood will eventually rot. All you can do is try to slow the process down. But if that statue at the club has been just left then the rot has probably already set in. This hot weather will have dried it out. It'll start cracking next, allowing rain and insects inside. Only takes a few woodlice to cause major damage. Personally, I offered to make a collection for a Roy Law brass plaque some years ago, which was turned down. It would've weathered a darn site better than the woodcarving, that's for sure.

Is the Womble seat even on our land? Statues at football grounds rarely work out well in the long run (yes I know there are exceptions). Do we have a duty to keep Roy and Dave forever?

If you’re in need of your footy fix, Scottish premier starts tonight…

Almost literally - looks like someone has poured crap over the head.

True though it does look shit

Blooming eck CW the photo of and comments about the Beasant statue aren’t good. Shirley when you make a statue out of wood you have some sort of maintenance plan.

Never one to miss an opportunity to criticise but this one doesn’t really grind my gears tbh. Hopefully common sense will prevail for individual circumstances.

Oh, ok. Guess I’ll just have to swerve a few midweek games

It's all part of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (better known as Martyn’s Law).

Another part of what makes us different and welcoming gone

Just had a look at other London clubs websites. All the big clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Palace have the same A4 bag rules. Even Spurs have have this rule.

Hope this kid from Chelsea does not turn out like last season's loan.

MK Dons received revenue of £1.14m from car parking, thats pretty tidy!

MPH, I delegated my worrying to Exiled a few years ago and he does a damn good job
