Very unfortunate last minute defeat for the women's team today. In all fairness, Watford looked the more talented team and had hit the woodwork several times, but a real battling comeback by us in the second half. Until a last minute melee in the box and heartbreak.

Arse bottle it again

That report states one thing that really grinds my gears. Why do players find shame in kicking it into row z? It's not just our players, but obviously they are the ones I really give a shit about. JJ, if you are reading here, you really need to explain percentage play. 100% of the ball off the pitch equals 100% chance of regrouping and a great chance of not conceding. Play the variable percentage game and good teams will find you out. The Peter Kay approach works bloody well when you've got something to lose, and boy was that evident yesterday.

KT2 - I'm glad I made you chuckle, but why ? What made you chuckle ?

Spartan, your 12.58 post made me chuckle. A long one since I recalled the shitness of the view from the John Smith stand at KM. We'e spoiled rotten these days tbf.

Good report on yesterday - including the comments below... [Link]

Going down again - in a minute

test

Connectivity will be lost for a few minutes at about 3pm. Shouldn't be long

See Morgan Williams scored twice for King's Lynn yesterday. Shame we did not persevere longer with his development.

What was Bishop up to on 1st one? Browne's 2nd attempt should have easily been on target, Johnson should have dealt with the back pass better but Bishop's attempted clearance was woeful

Big names in the hat tom for next round of fa cup jersey boys could get daggers or torque

Thanks, information.

As I usually do the polar opposite of what Surrey Bob says, here's one vote for Martin, should he stand again

Also Martin hasn't yet managed to find the answer to my question about how many of the 7824 members and 854(?) under-25 members had season tickets. You would think that was a relatively simple question to answer.

I remember the day being very hot for that very entertaining Grays game. Didn't we have a couple of goals disallowed or a couple of dead cert penalties turned down ? I seem to remember something controversial like that.

Blimey, even I couldn't spin that and be believed... "Membership GROWTH to 7,824 members, up from 3,488 last year ~ dt news letter

I bet quite a few of our growing fanbase are supporters who would go to KM a few times a season but couldn't really enjoy the games because of the poor ground with very poor sight lines.

I bet less than 0.5% of our new support since we returned home are here because of our ownership model (and 0.5% is being generous)

Paddington - re. your point about Maverick - you may well be right about him (I don't know him so I can't judge). To be clear, I wasn't saying that he, or any of the DTB members, are bad people, it's just the way of human nature that over time people in positions of power tend to identify with the "in group" of which they are a part, rather than with the "outsiders", who may have elected them and we certainly have a lot of precedent of people who are on here a lot at election time then disappear once they are "inside the tent".

We have only 1 win in 16 games against our next two opponents so woudl certainly like to see that change for the better.

CW - not sure I was blaming Grays either … JAW - I think we can attribute some sponsorship, especially John Green, to the model. But I don’t think I’d be wrong in my assumption that it wouldn’t be top of the list of reasons why people come and watch us, should we ever ask.

Don’t think Grays can be blamed for the sun, very entertaining game there even if the return was ghastly

Nick D, to your earlier point, certain members of the DTB would swear blind the polar opposite of your point. They truly believe fan ownership is the only reason we are where we are in terms of support.

Grays was a horrible experience. We won but all I remember was the sun.
