Unfortunately most in this country hate British values:-)
How many surveys will be required to test the temperature of members for changing lightbulbs?

Certainly worth asking about the Broncos at the AGM/Proboards
“Less intelligent were more likely to back Brexit” - what a load of nonsense 🤪🤡🤷🏻‍♂️ Next thing you know, they’ll be saying the racists voted Leave as well!! 😤

Looks like Wales have two home draws in their attempt to reach the Euros. Home to Finland in the Semi and if they win, home to Poland in the Final. I'm assuming Estonia have no hope of beating Poland, but you never know.

I think your correct Saveloy, but we all know the old adage about how many people it takes to change a light bulb.

On the topic of the Broncos. Can anybody with a bit of knowledge in the area work out where the income from the Broncos and the income from the West Stand is covered in the 2023 Financial Statement? I thought perhaps under "Donations and Sundry Items" under Turnover, but that would be less than 100K after subtracting the donations. Probably under "Food and Beverage, Conferencing and Events". That figure took a kicking though. Down from 960K to 740K. Would suggest that drop is questioned at the PLC meeting. It should have gone up unless 2022 and a one-off accounting special included.

Official fixture list still shows as the 23rd
Isn’t it just changing the expensive lightbulbs rather than any substantive work? I can’t see why they would need a years grace to achieve that.

Not in the know though!
And talking of fixture lists, the first two weeks of the Rugby League Super League were released yesterday. Broncos start away at St.Helens (third last year missing out on the title by points difference) and then at home on Friday 23rd February under floodlights hosting Catalans (second last year and obviously missing out on the title on points difference)

So. Do we get new floodlights installed by 23rd February or do the Broncos tell the Super League to stick their floodlights up their IMG Grading? I assume the agreement with Wimbledon is if the Broncos need improved floodlights they pay. Rather than paying for new Floodlights because they are in the SL. If like football you have a year to upgrade your ground or get relegated then it makes no difference to the Broncos as they will be relegated (by IMG Gradings) even being champs.
CW - my memory of the Ian Cooke goal, FWIW, classic Cooke , ghosted in unmarked, subtle header, keeper rooted - the non league Martin Peters!

Thanks Silk - the Whole Game System is a fascinating rabbit hole to dive down. My suspicion is it is absolutely fraught with dodgy data and how good small clubs are at keeping it updated is open to question. I still think relying on it for individual cup match eligibility would create more problems than it solves but the idea of such a comprehensive system is interesting.

come on, someone must have a FIFA ID number, fess up!
OI I didn't say I have a superior understanding - now you're just putting words into my mouth that I didn't say. I said I can see how it was possible to misunderstand. It's not someone being superior every time they have a different view.

You could spend hours telling me how 'the' could be interpreted in different ways, it wouldn't necessarily be relevant. The FA think it is clear, Barnsely think it is clear but Lurker has a superior understanding.

Interesting, I wonder how often the clubs at the lowest levels actually get that right. Does every affiliated club have access to the database? Anyone on here have a FIFA ID number (Yorkshire Womble maybe but he's not on here)? Something good to put on your LinkedIn profile!

OI getting forgetful in your experienced years? I said I felt sorry because I've seen FA rules. You said the rules are clear and quoted it. So I explained how eligible could be read in different ways and you keep trying to say it's grasping. That's how we got here.

Each association must have an electronic player registration system, which must assign each player a FIFA ID when the player is first registered. A player must be registered at an association to play for a club as either a professional or an amateur in accordance with the provisions of article 2. Only electronically registered players identified with a FIFA ID are eligible to participate in organised football. By the act of registering, a player agrees to abide by the FIFA Statutes and regulations, the confederations and the associations.
23rd Nov 2023 09:25:14 
[82.lo.gg.ed] 
The rules every association has to abide by - so yes, every player already has an ID number.
Well you can claim he was eligible, however he was quite possibly playing for York at the very time Barnsley were playing Horsham. Given Barnsley admit they screwed up I'm not sure your strange defence of them is relevant.

OI he wasn't signed after the first match - he's their registered player and if he's on loan where he can be recalled outside the transfer windows then it's not even as rigid as a standard loan. That scenario is a hole in the current definition that has now been filled by a precedent. It's not clutching at straws it's finding the gaps in a rule.

Does the FA assign a unique number to each player who plays for any affiliated club? Genuine question.
23rd Nov 2023 09:10:34 
[86.lo.gg.ed] 
I think it far better that the clubs are held responsible. Barnsley admit they screwed up, they aren't trying to blame it on the FA rules or procedures.
OI - You can introduce drop down lists which only has the registered players for your club on it. There is no need for anything to be typed in. That could include the player's number in it as well. It is impossible to eradicate all human error but you can look at what reduces it to a minimum.
