Blue - good interview with Robbo. Interesting he tried to get another forward option in, was told we haven't got the money.

Carsh, apparently some games in non league are getting postponed due to the fuel "crisis"

I thought Robbo came across really well on the podcast. I guess we forget that even a struggling side like Shrewsbury are miles in front budget wise. In a way I wonder if that Arsenal game has taken something out of us. Hopefully just a minor blip and we can get back on track as we know this side can produce the goods.

Stupid rule ,3 players called up and you can postpone a game.At our level get on with it,even if it turns out a heavy defeat.you have a squad of players and youth players to choose.

If I was Robbo I would be on the phone this morning to get a loan keeper who can play in the Palace game as a warm up

Talking of postponed games, the game at Rotherham must be in doubt given the weather forecast for the next 2 days

International call ups for Tzanev are certainly a problem for us - it makes our "it doesn't matter that our reserve keeper is useless as he is cheap and he will never actually have to play" strategy look a bit high risk

Hopefully we get 3 called up then we can postpone the game

Yeah I mean it's up to him but he'll be doing us a big favour if he doesn't go.

I'm guessing this is why our bench keeper played that cup game - cos we're likely to get this with NT being away.

Nik would be doing us a massive favour if he doesn't go for that game

thankfully we probably only have 1 match while he's away

womble the problem is the phrase "sold out" means different things to different people. All it really means is what can be sold has. It doesn't mean every seat is going to be occupied. I've still never found the answer to how many home seats are lost on top of the 400 away fans from the police restrictions. Also how many on the top tier in West Stand (which surely we're not going to sell every week). Plus we're not able to properly notify of unused ST seats yet.

Morning Spartan, morning Wombles

Morning Wombles.

I think we will eventually refinance the loan. I am not going to go on about the loan (not just yet anyway) apart from to say that the most traditional method of raising money from the fans, is via selling tickets. To have the Gillingham stated attendance of only 7,027 with a stadium capacity of over 9,200 whilst the match was officially: "sold out," is obviously very disappointing, and must be costing the club some money. I would hope that any Dons Trust investigation includes how much money the club has lost as a result of all this. But as I said at the start of the post, I am not worried about the loan at all, it will eventually be refinanced.

A player presentation? Is that to do with facebook?

What is it about these right wing cranks that make them hate public health so much? [Link]

Yeah, it’s a shame to learn that Robinson finds it necessary to make a player presentation on social media tomorrow - rather than, say, on how to beat Rotherham - because of some cretins.

Nurse! Madman has escaped from Lavender ward again!

Thanks to the 9yrs team for tonight’s session with Robbo. Massively insightful. We’re very fortunate to have him as head honcho! A different breed and very much an outside of the box thinker. Utterly refreshing!

Programme on TV tonight, The Wimbledon Kidnapping, could this be why all the empty seats at home games?
