!2:30 Kick off today

Note to everyone. Wycombe away is not due to be on the Red Button on Sky. The 4 fixtures at Xmas only include 2 "Holiday rounds" Dec 26th and Jan 1st. All Holiday matches are automatically shown The Exeter at home and Wycombe away are treated as normal weekends so only the 2 matches chosen by Sky will be on the Plus Channel

New 9yrspodcast out now! Stu and I review the Exeter defeat, talk illness and injury, squad options, financial pressures, early kick-offs, and Mansfield. We also pick our 14-man squads! A festive ROFHOG too! Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube via [Link]

Timmy - the blog has super graphics, some amusing points, but one or two glaring misconceptions. Right of reply? Looks like people have to pay substack to do that.

Padds, KD was my first thought. Then again that X account appealed for more contributors so who knows?

CW - I had a fruitless exchange on x with the person that wrote it

Geminids tonight if you have clear skies where you are.

Biggles was my first thought when I read one of his/her pieces a few weeks ago.

Reading it again, the writing strikes me like Biggles, mildly sedated

I agree with Trig about that blog. Blames the wrong people. Gives no insight into why people don't see their term through. And as for this league table of 'flouncers' we allegedly keep (???).

Made I chuckle [Link]

Did anyone e.mail the Huddersfield prog editor? And if so did they get a reply

It was an unusual thing for a club to put in a programme.

ALSO - Kopparberg spelt as "Kopperberg". "Andy be answering questions from our host" should be "will be answering".... "snap-up" should be "snap up"

Thanks 6MDM. I had no idea it's an early kick-off!

DD - search back on my tag. I posted about the issue on the day of the Huddersfield game. It's to do with an inflammatory and factually inaccurate two page article that appeared in their matchday programme.

"COLLCETIONS 2.30pm is the latest time for away ticket collections from the ticket office."

1 -1 draw tomorrow, wimbledon spoons beforehand if anyone wants to have a pop:-)

What's the issue with Huddersfield?

That part about "When a Board Seat Becomes a Personal Stage" is spot on.

RIP Stanley Baxter

There are some valid points in that blog (i.e. ones I agree with) and some invalid points (i.e. ...). Not everything can be addressed in one blog post, especially one where I can't see how it is likely to effect change.

Timmy - it’s quite amusing that blog, but I do sometimes wonder who’s writing them… There might be a good reason why it’s anonymous… 🤔😬

Respectfully disagree Timmy it’s pointing the finger at the wrong people and conveniently ignoring real problems.

Who is behind this blog - [Link] I rather like it !
