1,200 scientists are going to try to save Earth [Link]

 7.30pm at Hanworth

 Does anyone know the ko time for the FA youth cup game tonight ? The OS has given details of the location, but no ko time.

 Reckon some money will be made available January, now wally has gone.cup runs tv matches and Toby's fee wouldnt of been budgeted for last season.

 Did he sell that car in the end?

 Snowy - 😂

 REPD see if Don's Outlook is still got his for sale.

 Alan - if it was guaranteed to keep us in L1 next season, then it might be a risk worth taking. The trouble is, the likelyhood of another dud on higher wages is all too real

 If we do end up in that rather sticky situation it's going to be a bit sweaty at board level. If we get relegated the decision to sack the geezer that kept us up in a similarly dire circumstances is going to come under further scrutiny. Did personal feelings/relationships come before the bests interests of the club? And should we have paid any attention to the feelings of disgruntled players if what transpires is they see us relegated then leave the club.

 Agree with OI. If we go out the cup tomorrow night (or indeed in R2) there is going to be sod all to spend in January. Wally brought in as much as he spent by getting us through against Fleetwood and beating West Ham, not it's up to Glyn and Nick to do the same. If we earn nothing we have to go with what we've got and pray Sanders and Forss don't leave.

 It might if it meant that Alan but it doesn't, we might go down with the investment, we might stay up without it, we might stay up with it and go down the following year reducing attendances during the bad run. The board got criticism, valid in my opinion, for overspending with Ardley. I'd prefer them not to overspend with Hodges and Dawser.

 I am naturally cautiously minded person who likes to be certain of objectives, but the football business requires a certain amount of gambling in it, particularly on the player front. Part of the risk will involve a certain amount of wargaming of pro and cons and the use of a swot analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) to mitigate the risk. Obviously a player going lame early doors isn't predictable (although some are more likely than others) so can be a major blow to plans, but would say, a £200k uplift now on a 25 yrs mortgage that means that we don't suffer a £100k downturn pretty much immediately be accepted as a good strategy to go forward with.

 Sarginson is the ref tomorrow

 There isn't enough stadium money as it is without wasting it in January. League 2 is probably our natural level unless crowds at NPL are a lot bigger than we get at KM. With no sugar daddy running/ruining us, we probably need 7K+ average to be regularly lower half of League 1.

 SA-quite often what it says in the prog turns out to be incorrect

 Alan IoW - not a road I'd like us to go down, as we could end up needing to raise more NPL money again (which IMO we'll struggle to do, at least from the supporters)

 Serious question here. Is there an option for the club to use some of the stadium fund for a modest investment into playing staff in January? I ask as the cost of going down might bite the longer term aspirations for future years and ultimately may cost the club FINANCIALLY more than it would do if we didn't.

 CW - yellow being worn at Bolton, so hope for a second win?

 Anyway, SW19 report on Blackpool now up - [Link]

 Nine away games in the league and one win with eight defeats, clearly the reason for this is the awful green change strip, at Southend we wore yellow

 Yeah and I bet they’ve had a damn good think about what else they could do - but given the underlying subject matter of nonceness and sex slavery probably best to leave it at that.

 Trigger - they did - [Link]

 Poor Pizza Express all these mentions and they just can’t join in. Must be excruciating in their PR/social media office right now.

 Yeah I got the vote and I’ve got a proxy and I’m voting out. English and always will be. On another note. Come on you dons

 Ha ha you should try the iPhone Pro Max, smashing phone but it’s massive and very heavy hence why I didn’t bother. Plus it’s so damn expensive, those prices are mental. But if I was given a pro max for free I wouldn’t complain 😃
