    Of course the squad needs an overhaul, my concern is where the money is coming from.  DC is running a tight ship - and I approve of that, given the past few years, but if you recall the lean GSE years even they were pumping money into the club and getting nowhere.
    You could argue that (assuming we finish the job next weekend) we've gone up too quickly - the squad needs a fair amount of surgery next season to compete and we're still a fair way from any youngsters coming through.  I don't envisage many signings as such, more freebies and loans again.
    We we're warned at the fans forum a while back that if we do up we're looking at a couple of seasons of stability before we hopefully push on - to me that means avoid relegation/push for mid-table. Given that we've been in and around the top 6/top 2 for months and some people have still wanted to get rid of PW, unless we've got some 'god tier' scouting lined up next season is gonna be a tough and PW will come under pressure again from the usual suspects.  
    Personally, unless we get some outside investment I'm okay with slow and financially prudent progression.

    The mini and the Fiat 500 maybe, but all those others look big to me. Probably just because generally cars seem to be trending towards the ugly big blocky thing, and no longer compact and sleek. Even hatchbacks seem designed to look like 4x4 these days
    As I said - I'm not a fan of cars anyway 😂

    Let the following be a warning regarding the dire consequences of pitch invasions.
    Back in the early '70s when I was about 9, me and me mates went to a night match at the BBG. As was our custom, we paid a tanner to go in the boys end. As was also our custom, come half time we nipped over the fence so as to get into the Pop Side.
    As we walked along the edge of the pitch, a photographer was blocking my way, but in going around him, I strayed over the line onto the pitch. Then, disaster! A stalwart steward, spotting my incursion, swooped. Having single-handedly foiled the mass pitch-invasion, the heroic man in the tabbard frog-marched 9 year old me out of the ground and told me to clear off.
    As well as having to navigate my way home alone, I also had to tell me mam that I was early because I'd been chucked out.
    Now tell me that pitch invasions are a good idea!

    That bold bit is where the problem lies, imo.

    I envisage the majority of the attendance (22k+) will scuttle off home having not had the chance to thank/congratulate/celebrate with the people that matter... players and staff.
    Shame really... but utterly not unexpected.

    I don't watch a huge number of TV ads - normally record stuff and then fast-forward through the ads...
    Radio ads however are a whole level of annoyance higher:
    "Do you have more than £8000 in unsecured debts? get an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) with us - warning this MAY affect your credit rating" - no, it'll screw your credit rating forever....
    "Sell your unwanted Gold, Silver, platinum & palladium - post it to us and we'll pay you next day" - I'm sure you will, but the chances of getting a fair price are pretty damn remote....and how many folk will ask them to return their items?
    "If you've been the victim of a scammer, the system has failed you" - no it hasn't, you've been a knobby and sent money to someone dodgy despite the system warning you to check if they're kosher.....
    "If you owned a diesel car between...." - ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

    I'm in favour of pitch invasions, ever since that wonderful day as a 10 year old boy at the Baseball ground, high fiving Ron Willems and having a cuddle with Chris Powell!
    I talk about that day every single time I see a pitch invasion elsewhere. I think about it now and then for no reason. 
    It's a top 5 moment in my entire life and I like to think there are youngsters at Pride park who in 28 years time be looking back on the Carlise match in the same way I do that Crystal Palace match.
    It doens't have to be ruined by thuggery, it can be magical
