It's very unfortunate that this thread has become more about an alleged troll/trolls than the brilliant person it was actually intended for. This should be an opportunity to give Erin the congratulations she very much deserves for her efforts.
Well done, Erin, you should be extremely proud!

Would it be too far-fetched to simply reverse the fixture?

Didn't we play a team called Ilnest or Il Nest in a friendly during the 90's?

Mid-season friendly away at Trafford in 1994/95. Roger Palmer played as a triallist and Peter Stanier made possibly his only appearance for the club. Trafford won 1-0, if I remember correctly.

For sheer anti-climax, the 5-0 defeat at Kidderminster in the FA Trophy Quarter Final in 1995 takes some beating.

Very sad indeed!

The main reason we didn't play any higher opposition in friendlies last pre-season was that we couldn't play any home games, due to the pitch being replaced.

Especially Tom Hark by the Piranhas.
I don't think it's bad sportsmanship, I just find it tacky.

« on: March 13, 2022, 05:18:11 PM »Without getting into an interminable argument regarding musical taste, surely the compromise here is just to turn the volume down a bit? It's not Bowlers in 1995.
To quote Pete, it's not a tea dance.
It's not The Prodigy live at G-Mex either, though, is it?
It's unlikely to impact upon me any time soon, but if it's loud enough that you can't hear someone who's stood next to you (in this kind of setting) then it's probably too loud.
For what it's worth, I really like the initiative.

« on: January 30, 2022, 03:08:22 PM »PP leaving is not an option at this stage. That would simply be suicidal.
For what it's worth, I think we'll beat Woking on Saturday and then hopefully we'll be having a different conversation.
In what sense suicidal?
It would most likely cripple us, financially, I suspect.

Portsmouth a couple of years ago was absolutely taters.

Once inspectors attend a site due to a potential safety issue, they quite naturally start sniffing around and looking for other things. The worrying thing for me is that once an area has been deemed unsafe, it would require a very brave individual indeed to allow it to reopen unless the proper remedial work has taken place and been inspected. My fear, now this can of worms has been opened, is that it could potentially be a very long time and a whole lot of £££ before we are operating at anything like full capacity again. Whoever started this sh*tstorm knew that this would be the case.

Crowdfunding has worked well for us previously, but what's needed, with extreme urgency, is details about the exact works required and the timescales involved. This is a dire situation, it really is.
