I agree but I was responding to your original post that you’d like him on the bench even if he’s nowhere near match fit which is a bit different to high percentage fit.

I’m not sure it’s that spontaneous given some people are already declaring their intent.

As long as you ain’t being anti social and/or harassing the general public you won’t have a problem. It’s a dispersal order not an exclusion zone.

The way I see it, why rush to do it on the first day or two when there might well be teething problems and why leave it until the last day or two when you might forget, encounter technical problems or have another unexpected commitment that means you might not have time?

I assume it just means they’ll allow celebrating fans behaving sensibly (if we nail it tomorrow) but reserve the right to move folk on if it gets a bit too rowdy or members of the public feel harassed.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, I never understand why some people renew on the first day or wait until the final day.

Still got mine simply because it's a Derby scarf (and hasn't got "with compliments from Mel" on it 😀)

How can I possibly know if he is any less fit that Curtis was for that game but I doubt he was "nowhere near match fit".

Or just stop being a crypto evangelist and just enjoy your profits instead of trying to convert the rest of us.😀

That's just you though. Can you vouch for all the others running on the pitch? I don't think anyone would deny that we have our fair share of morons. All it could take is for one Carlisle player to react to being blocked from reaching the tunnel and react in a way you might not expect. I agree with @Ian Buxton's Bat's comment that a pitch invasion, whilst it might give a few their moment of jumping around on the pitch, it might deprive the majority of enjoying the bounce started by PW and the players (and their families) lap of appreciation (unless the pitch can be cleared fairly quickly).

Haven't you got a garden? 😀

I'd take mid table next season (in the Championship of course 😀). I'm not sure any of us have realistic expectations for top 4.

Are you talking about Nelson being relegated with Blackpool? If so, he only joined them in the January of that season by which time they were already bottom but one in the league. So, I’m not sure how much of Blackpool’s relegation you can attribute to him.

I think that depends on the nature of him keeping us up. If we survive by the skin of our teeth, having spent a reasonable amount in the summer, playing awful football then I’m not so sure. I may not be sacking him (or maybe I would if the season was panning out that badly) but extending an expiring contract is a little different.

I understand that but I wouldn’t want to waste a place on the bench for someone not remotely match fit. We have enough players, that may be called upon, to fill our substitutes allocation. Also, how much of a psychological boost would it be to be seen to be picking a player in that condition? I’m not convinced it would have that much effect or is even required. I would think, and hope, the players and fans will be going into the game full of confidence (but not complacency) already. I’d love to see Gayle available and on the bench but only if fit to play.
