Rob - Barry Scott's wife used to spend a lot of time in Baku with her work.

Alan IoW - Stoke must have its own ecosystem...

It's none of that. The legend of a cold, wet night Tuesday in Stoke has to prove it exists, it does by the sounds of things.

I was colder last night than last month in NY when it was 17F in the daytime

Started feeling my age Naz - by the time I got back to a pub nearer the station I found typing on my phone difficult because of how cold my fingers were. Never had that before even at colder games and places.

I see Goodman is impressing at Barnsley🫣

The facilities at PV are just as bad for the home fans - I was in the Railway Stand (NB the railway closed in 1964 - a good year) and whilst the seats were covered, refreshments behind the stand were in the open air just like the away end (which used to be the home end)

Trigger - if you mean the small, cold, outside, uncovered area down the steps with a kiosk pouring 440ml cans of Red Stripe, cider etc into plastic pint glasses and charging £4.70 a pop then I was there both before the match and at half time - nowhere else to go really either inside or nearby. Even the stewards said it would be easy to cover it - reminded me of "Awninggate" at KM.

Yeah the bar was al fresco half time type fare Naz you missed nothing.

Port Vale looked so good at the back end of last season, and their fans were tremendous that day at PL - it’s quite remarkable the difference a few months makes….

CW - you're right, as tickets from last week were valid and some could not come this week. 88 or 121 they were very noisy. Shame one of our lot did his knee in in the surge celebrations for the goal. Ouch. His parents picked him up at drop off at NPL and he was bound for St George's. Get well soon.

Mike Kelly would be wearing green so AI has probably seen it as a different shade of blue? Goalkeepers have always had to wear a different coloured top to the outfield players (of both sides)

Daniel Levy to sell his Spurs shares for £1bill. Would we sell to him? Nice project for him😀

(Worst hot dog in football btw - absolutely disgusting food they should be docked points for serving that.)

I was in the bar by then

Naz-think 121 may have been the numbers of tickets sold as I did a quick headcount near the end of the first half and only made it 88, certainly less than 100

By their PRman, By the look of it.

'Update and inform', Trig We will be told.

Thanks Doobs!

I assume tonight will be one-way communication from the boards and no questions will be allowed from members attending?

I try to register for Dons TV. I use the same email as for ticketing as requested, can't use the same password as now stricter on format. Create an acceptable password. Try to login, email and password don't match. Click 'Forgotten Password', even though I hadn't forgotten it, to get a verification email. No email arrives.

That’s not a criticism DO btw - when I tried it recently via AI it suggested Shrewsbury and Bristol Rovers would be relegated from L1…

Spit…? Were you referring to the meeting later? If so, I see what you mean…

Vital three points last night. If we can do that to all the relegation possibles... Coldest match I have been to since Curzon Ashton. Nowhere nearby to get in the warm. Was expecting rain but just got a tiny bit of sleet. Very friendly stewards, really impressed with the noise our 121 made. I asked one how waterlogged the pitch was last week and he said "very" - it's one of the oldest pitches in the league and is laid on clay (hence the potteries industry).

We’re 2 wins in the last 10 and have 18 games to play so getting 5 wins is going to need an uptick in form. I still think DO’s maths must be wrong but don’t have time at the moment to have a stab at it myself.
