Talking of the West Stand. Why do we now have two Steward Spotters sitting either side of the dug-outs watching us all game now?

OI - cheers.

Sort of Airsy. I don't go and I don't return my ticket (but then I never do). Not that there seems to be a demand for tickets this season. I suspect by some point in the game, the seat will be used, it is becoming more common for folk in the centre of the West Stand to invite friends to move when there are empty seats near them.

RK. We do that as far as we can. We always confirm when each batch of TV matches are notified and that no more fixtures can be moved for TV up to a certain date and thereafter when the next round of fixtures are selected for TV coverage (I think everything up to Christmas is now fixed). International breaks are different as no-one knows until the squads get announced if a game can get called off.

$6M - Re: OTD. Perhaps the GB keeper came from a North Atlantic fishing family and he was protesting after the start of The Cod Wars. Hence the 'Significant Gap' between the officials and the rest of Team GB?

It would help enormously, if Clubs like ourselves, could indicate which fixtures were firm and those that are subject to date and/or time changes

RK - I came to the same conclusion on Cambridge. Stevenage could be at more risk. They have 3 players who seem to get regular calls ups. Vancooten (Guyana), Phillips (Trinidad & Tobago), Magennis (NI).

I hope you meant the 26th a4e

That's from BOTH teams but I did a quick check on Camb and it looks like they won't have any call-ups

Minimum three players have to be called up iirc

Phew - my train tickets for Cambridge are for 19th, so that’s a relief….. (now just watch as the game gets called off because of one player being called up to sit on the bench for Northern Ireland again…).

With the regular saver accounts after a year they move the money to their lowest rate account in the expectation that you don't immediately move it somewhere better.

Well check my sources! That’s great news Hash we’ll be nicely rested and can give em a damn good thrashing.

What Keefy says. I can get 6.5% from the Nationwide but it's limited to £200 a month over a year.

Cambridge game is the weekend after Trigs :-)

Bit harsh having to go to Cambridge on Saturday after playing Thursday night. They’re scoring goals for fun as well could be a difficult day.

Laurence, most lenders who offer very high rates are accounts limiting a small monthly payment into the account over a year. So yes 5 becomes greater than 8 when the investment is made upfront.

Leddrede ......... when did 5 become greater than 8? :o)

Great Britain must have been confident to beat Iceland if the OTD picture is anything to go by given they seem to have 11 outfield players and no goalkeeper.

I was expecting them to have started the season stronger than they have done. The fact that they come to us without a win yet sits uncomfortably with the football gods. It’s an odd thing to say after keeping four clean sheets already but we’ll need to defend better. A lot of new players for this fixture so I hope they get on and play the game and don’t let the occasion impact them.

RIP Ludek Miklosko

Get there and support the team!

So how is everyone feeling about Thursday?

It was also quite a poor quality game in terms of the football on show when you consider the amount of money that was on the pitch.

City vs United was something of a refereeing disaster, with a sending off missed (Fernandes) and a goal given that shouldn’t have been- you might argue that the two cancelled each other out in some cosmic way but really with all of the attention and money on the PL these things should be done right
