Postie will be happy, flying ants in morden

Bit of a swings and roundabouts thing this altitude issue - there are benefits and drawbacks to being there early and arriving late, but I’d imagine any decision has been made rationally rather than by just tossing a coin. Either way, I think Mexico have the advantage, and it wouldn’t be the greatest shock if they won, especially with the massive atmosphere their fans will undoubtedly create. If Ecuador had won, would it have still been in Mexico?

But FIFA insists on you being there 36 hours before kick off. The ball also moves quite differently at that altitude so a training session may be useful.

One of the players in this Aus v Egy game is Harry Souttar who will be at Plough Lane with Leicester next season

Red kite - I read somewhere that physiologically it would be better to actually get there as close to kick off as possible (due to altitude) rather than 3 days before. It doesn’t help acclimatisation, it hinders it

Anyone else having probs getting BBC HD channels?

Well George’s LinkedIn profile says kit manager at Farnham ladies

Does the Dons Trust need a Secretary now? Their minutes are so brief as to be pointless, and I doubt we will be having elections in the future (it being the modern way) so what would a new Secretary do?

I've read that if you don't have 2 weeks to acclimatise, it's best to spend as little time there as possible and get there on the day of the match.

OI for Secretary.

There are often some good ideas here that could be taken on board when people are monitoring this place. Purely as an example, someone could publish the "Volunteer Code of Conduct" on the DT site (so it turns up in search). Updates on the ESG would be good too.

Looking forward to the lidls pub on plough lane,like The middle Ale in belfast

Apparently, England are delaying moving to their Mexico base until 48hrs before the game.

CW - that’s a great shout!!! Imagine the confusion in Lidls opposite on match days!!

The new home shirt is the first one I’ve disliked, the collar looks tacky, might be better when seen up close in real life

Reece has gone has he? Lucky Meadow said no insults.

So George has gone and Reece has gone who’s secretary now ?

George does looks like a football manager in this picture: [Link]

His transformation from Ryan Giggs to David Beckham was to be expected

Think George is being lined up as our new manager:-)

Insulting people is not a crime - no matter how much the DTB act like it is when it comes to them and their ilk. That said I see no cause to be mean to the now ex-secretary. He and I were in fact in ongoing conversation so I hope (and think) that that has nothing to do with his departure.

I think I’ll be getting a home shirt - just need to see it in real life to be certain before I buy though…

Thae was a bit previous Meadow, people are in the most grown up here!

Wasn’t there a rumour that George is starting a new job with Farnham Town FC?

Before anyone thinks about posting insults towards George, do be aware that this place is very closely monitored. Keep it nice please?
