Good post, well put.
Unfortunately you've been dead for 900 years so no-one will hear you.

Great game and result.
It's just a relief really after all the postponements.
We need to negotiate the next two banana skins and we're right back in it.

I think we looking at a postponement. Wythenshawe Park is waterlogged. I know the groundsmen will try hard but the ground is just too wet.
If it's on we'll win 1-0

Did the Park Run in Wythenshawe Park this morning. It was a bog. The worst conditions I've seen for at least 12 months.

I thought he did OK last night. He's not going to win anything in the air. He makes Damien look tall. His game is all about speed and turning the opposition but often the playing surface gave way beneath him last night. There's too much sand and not enough grass roots for his style of game.
If I was going to criticise him I would say that a couple of times he got to the goal line and then crossed the ball even though there was no one in the centre waiting to receive.

Even Stockport's recent form is better than ours.
Shame Luca's header came back off the post tonight but we shouldn't be relying on him for goals.

I noticed the Ashley Mowers one inside the ground was damaged the other week. It got fixed in double quick time though. You've got to look after your Radio Robins sponsors.

It's a combination of things. At Edgeley Park the run off areas were dangerously tight and the corporate facilities were non-existant. Getting there by car, bus or train was fairly easy though and there were plenty of places to eat and drink before and after the game. Crowds varied between 6,000 and 10,000
Move to Salford city stadium. The corporates are well catered for. The rest of us have to fend for ourselves. There's parking for 900 cars, 600 on site and 300 at Barton aerodrome. The alternative is to park in Eccles and walk in. The people who park on site have to wait until the pedestrians have left because everyone uses the same exit.Anyone who used to arrive by bus or train at Edgeley Park can't use public transport because there's none back to where they've come from by the time they are able to get back to the city centre. There's nowhere to eat or drink except at the stadium and every game the stadium recruit group four employees who don't know what they are doing. The queues are horrendous. Crowds have fallen to somewhere between 3,000-4,000. It depends whether you count the absentee season ticket holders. All the issues are fixable but the landlords aren't co-operating.
The guy who made the decision to move to Eccles is long gone. Stupid decision to go northwest when a big wedge of the suport comes from Cheshire and Staffordshire Brian Kennedy is haemoraging money but doesn't have the kind of money to build something new. Sale Sharks are always going to be tenants until there's more money at the top.
I decided not to renew my season ticket. I still go to games regularly but I've enjoyed Robins a lot more of late.

No they wouldn't but as they don't own their ground they wouldn't get any say in the matter.
It's highly unlikely to happen because Edgeley Park needs some serious investment to bring it up to the Rugby premiership standard. The asbestos roof on the main stand is disintegrating for one thing.
It's just sabre rattling to get something done about the terrible access and facilities at Eccles. I don't think Peel Holdings will blink first.

Buzz was substituted within 15 minutes or so. He's not fit. Calf injury I think.

Thanks everyone.
Disappointing but we don't seem to be able to play well on a heavy pitch so perhaps its a good thing.

Any chance the game will be off? I'll be rushing back from Stafford.
