Good luck, Alan.

Sorry to hear AIoW, hope all goes to plan mate

I'm in the bricking it stage of my knee infection at the moment. I'm 19 days away from surgery and can't take a course of antibiotics now until then. This is to positively identify the bacteria thats at the root of osteomyelitis. Last night I was feeling nauseous have had a second sinus breakthrough 2 days earlier. So proper cacking myself as I so need this surgery done ASAP. If I get ill I will have operation cancelled. If surgery is your thing the surgeons doing my op at Oxford bone infection unit have a teaching video on YouTube explaining it all. Gonna wear some of my dons gear, the plastics guy is an oxford fan.

It is a fascinating OTD, I was trying to work out what the chimneys were. The tallest could be the railway power station? The other I presume is in Weir Road. And then the goalkeeper(?) appears to be wearing a baseball cap featuring the French tricolour whilst one of the other Hillingdon players seems to have the gloves.

Couldn't help but notice that OTD two coaches of fans went up to Blackpool to see the lights

Per the link to the PLB below posting: Late 2026/Spring 2027 repayments due = £3.1m. Redeemed (exchanged for shares or donated) amount expected to be £1.2m. Total amount required as a cash injection = £1.9m. So, it appears that the £1.7m "cautiously" budgeted is the £1.9m with a little flex. one way or the other, a cash injection is required. the Plough Lane Bond Update on the Club site could have been worded differently, it uses "supporters" just the once and "members" is used three times on separate sentences/paragraphs. From memory, the Club have previously received a loan from a Club director, for a 6% return, which was repaid within 6 months. If no current director (or even supporter or member) is able to provide us a material amount loan at a very favourable/competitive rate to help us during the period through to the end of our season (Spring 2027), then that could of been included.

One of the replies to the tweet StD posted below showing Jackson attending a Charlton game: "Was lucky to be in the Lennie lounge and Jacko was having dinner. Asked did he have much to do with the Junior Nkeng deal - he replied "yeah i tried to stop it happening"

The one I was referring to, the cyclists footage included speed. As cyclist was also exceeding speed limit, both were prosecuted.

Car driver, must have been caught on camera, as they said the cyclists reported it, but you be able to prove it, a go-pro maybe?

Alan - who was - the car driver or the cyclist? I saw a report of a cyclist that had done just that and both he and the car driver were prosecuted!!

Alan, there are other awareness courses. My son was on his motorbike a few months ago and was hit by a car on a roundabout. Thankfully minimal injuries this time. Surrey police were considering prosecution but decided to offer the driver a course instead.

In the same conversation on the radio, it was mentioned that a cyclist reported a car driver for overtaking without leaving the right amount of room and they were put on a speed awareness course.

They also need to change the law so that you can't use a moped for business use on L-plates.

I like the theory of identifying dangerous bike riders just as I like the theory of identifying dangerous drivers. However if I ring up the police and say car XX99XXX nearly ran me down on a zebra crossing, what action will they, or even can they, take? So it will be the same with bikes with number plates. If someone is seriously injured and there is proof of the licence plate then it could help but how often will that happen?

Spartan, according to an interview on LBC its forest bikes only in Richmond not the Lime bikes

The Standard are reporting that rental E-bikes are going to be given number plates to help track down rogue cyclists. And about time to.

If anyone is interested in owning part of the best pub in Wimbledon, following last nights meeting the investment opportunity has opened up. I’m sure you are all sick of being asked for money to prop up a struggling institution, but this one is a bit different [Link] Good to see a fair few Wimbledon supporters at the meeting too.

I agree with OI, this isn't a twenty pound note lost on the street, an explanation of sorts is needed and any lessons learned from the episode mentioned.

It happens, I've had a company go bust owing me money. However the whole thing could be finished with by a simple statement that says "The money was paid to company X and is not recoverable. We have taken steps to tighten our policies so a repeat is less likely".

Only getting 7300 at home against Wigan and seemingly loads of spare seats still for Saturday isn't going to help our financial cause. Only once did we go under 8000 last season, could it be twice already before the end of September?

How do I find out if I have a priority group, last bought a ticket before all this malarky started.

Inclined to agree with Silk. If I remember correctly we paid a company to provide a service for us and that company then went bust so we lost the money - i also seem to recall another club being affected? Huge near catastrophic error for a club like us - i guess the key learning questions would be did we do the right due diligence on this company and if not, why not and how will we make sure we do it next time we are parting with 400k for something.

What Silk said.
