Better than storms in Africa

England game delayed by storms in Florida

On the colours front, I did the tour of new WHL a few years back. Very impressive stadium, and they boasted there was no red in it. Until you got to the shop where there was plenty of red NFL merchandise (can't remember the team). Colours matter.

OI- you are right, of course, but don't hold your breath.

Pete that's brilliant!

Buckley actively looking for someone to replace him, wishful thinking for some of us

We’ll be coming out to this tune next season [Link]

Meadow-presumably they are sending their squad side to Bromley

I do think that we need some sort of safeguards plus transparency to ensure that consultancy and other contracts only go to 'mates' if it can be shown clearly that (a) they are best value for money and (b) are not coming in with a group think mindset but open to fresh ideas.

That'll be a QPR XI as they're at Bromley the previous day.

Thanks OI. Seeing as that is a task he has failed to achieve for over three years now (happy to be corrected on the number) I won’t be holding my breath.

Paddington - I vaguely remember you mentioning the Gladiator bloke's armour advice being ignored, just like I did [Link]

Maybe that's why we want blue and white branding

Home to QPR on 1st Aug

Loving the gym joke, Pete!

OI, do you think AI could replace him?

No district line trains this weekend till after 2 pm from Wimbledon

Nigel James used to be at Hanworth Villa when they had a decent youth set up we played them in the Youth Cup

Trigger - nothing from the share sale should go to any day to day costs, this 'working capital' input should be what boosts the playing budget. As far as I know only Mr. Buckley of the decision makers gets paid and as I understand it he is busy trying to find a way to be replaced.

One thing it will be important to see from any proposed 50+1 deal is how much of the invested money will make its way to the playing budget? Versus how much will dissipate away with pay rises and bonuses for directors and other non-football staff or new roles being created (and filled with clique).

Thought Nervo was taking the piss but it turns out Chelsea really are wearing yellow and blue.

And Pete, I went to a talk in Kingston Library with my dad about 25 years ago from the bloke who'd advised the Gladiator people about Roman armour. He said they ignored every word he said.

Chelsea are wearing yellow & blue next season so we've missed a trick

OI- Nigel James was on Talksport yesterday. Seemed a lovely bloke. Like you I hope we have some connection with him.
