  1. I suspect the club just felt obliged to issue such a warning but know it might still happen. Personally, whilst it's something worth celebrating, it's not as if we've won the league or anything so I'd prefer we all just stayed in the stands and allowed the players and their families to do a proper lap of honour. Regarding H&S, I was at the Tamworth game two weeks ago when they sealed promotion for the second year running. Some numpty must have fallen over the advertising hoardings (needless to say, there is no upper tier at Tamworth 😀) and had to be taken away on a stretcher by St. John's Ambulance.
  2. Firstly, a win tomorrow will not guarantee us promotion unless both Bolton and Posh drop points as well. So, celebrations on that level would be dangerously premature. Secondly, such a pitch invasion would be a moronic thing to do and I sincerely hope no one is even remotely considering it.
  3. Imagine what that grassy bank behind the ground would look like if we were playing Northampton instead of Cambridge tomorrow? It would be a site for sore eyes, numerous flags and hundreds of Rams fans (until/unless the police moved them on).
  4. I wouldn’t quite describe it as “exemplary”. Our performances against Northampton and Wycombe (in my book, by and large, the management and players take joint responsibility for the poor performances and credit for the good ones) in particular are enough of blot to make such an accolade unjustified. Even most of the wins have been less than convincing but, I agree with your other sentiments. whether he is the right man to rebuild and go again is uncertain (I do understand certain posters concerns) but I do think he’s got us close enough not to be sacked. Again, I get the concerns voiced by some others if we go up but he will have earned the right to give it a go.
  5. And the four cup vouchers at the back.
  6. Do you mean after next week’s deadline? I have no idea.
  7. I think you’re confused. That’s just the waiting list for Cambridge tickets. 😀
  8. I’m not sure you’ll get anything in the post so, don’t wait. To renew you just need to go online (your new price and confirmation of your seat will be there) or ring up. Hurry up though, you’ve only got just over a week.
  9. I reckon I’ve probably still got the confirmation of my first ST, delivered by carrier pigeon, somewhere. 😀
  10. True but I didn’t advocate putting any player on for a five minute cameo. But if we did, nothing personal against JJ, a player here on loan (that hasn’t appeared a great deal) would probably be bottom of my list.
  11. Why, unless he's likely to sign for us next year If we're looking at a 5 minute cameo when the result is safe, I'd rather it was youngster or some other first team regular.
  12. I'm sure it will be somewhere between the two. Go for the win but not so gung-ho that we put ourselves too much at risk of losing. On the front foot please but with control and composure.
  13. You should be able to see it in purchase history. Log on to the DCFC site. Click on your profile at the top. From the drop down options select "my match tickets". On the left hand side select "season tickets" That's how it looks on my Ipad anyway.
  14. From what I can make out, all this article tell us is if you run a random set of numbers many times you’re much more likely to get the spread of results you’d expect than if you only ran it once. That’s pretty obvious stuff in the same way that if you tossed a coin 6 times, the chances are that you wouldn’t get a 50:50 split between heads and tails. If you tossed a coin 10,000 times though, you would get much closer to half heads and half tails. The author claims to have taken into account the fact all teams don’t start the league equal and has allowed for some being stronger than others when arriving at the random number that generate the results for each individual game. However, as far as I can see, he hasn’t explained what weighting he has applied nor how he has applied it. If the weighting is only marginal then you’d expect fairly similar variation to the completely random results. I don’t think anyone is denying that the larger the sample size the more likely the results are to reflect expectation. But what I think we are saying is that, over the course of a full season, whilst there still be a few random results where a “weaker” team will beat a “stronger” team, the impact of these unexpected results will be dissipated to an extent that the league table, by and large, reflects the relative strengths of the teams competing. and breath………
  15. If only we had someone that could score from set pieces. 😀
