Poynton ram

Would be great to have Jim Smith recognised in some way. That promotion season at BBG and the first few years at PP were fantastic

Any sightings yet or are they still preparing for Vegas? I suspect the usual destinations will feature, Greek isles, Dubai, Balearics, Norfolk Broads for PW.

3.0 at PP v Arsenal, goals from Wanchope x2 and a deft chip from Sturridge, the Old Trafford win when Christie scored with his left foot, the win at Norwich under Lampard, the win at Everton when Duncan Ferguson was sent off for elbowing Wanchope, any game v Leeds

Not seen that, where has it been reported?

Do we get any cash for finishing runners up?

I would assume there will be promotion clauses written in to contracts which will trigger an increase in wages which will help but are players like Nelson likely to be targeted by other championship teams. Will Brighton come back in for Cashin? Could see a cheeky bid come in for Wilson too. Methinks the next week will be busy with contract negotiations

As the dust starts to settle on an amazing day when do we expect to see the retained list? Particularly interested to see if Sibbs and Wildsmith have been offered new contracts.

Tried a credit card and it worked, debit card didnt

Just tried to renew on my phone and get an error message. Then tried to renew via laptop and get a message to say seat already occupied and I need to ring the back office. I assume that means the premium rate number between 10 and 4. Anybody have similar issues with a solution. I doubt I can ring tomorrow as have back to back meetings and no doubt phone lines will be busy?

Fairly certain Host and Stay’s sponsorship is this year only. I am guessing a new sponsor won’t be announced until we know what league we will be playing in but it will be interesting to see who the new sponsor is

Could NUFC have done anything to help out Gateshead seeing as they are neighbours? Not sure if they could have or even tried but huge respect if they did. No idea where NUFC reserves play, ironic if Gateshead. Is that season over for Brown now?

Whilst I appreciate we don’t know the retained list yet with so many players out of contract we ought to have a reasonable kitty to fund a rebuild. I am sure it has been reported that Hourihane is on 12k PW and he’s leaving. If we do go up how much extra tv revenue is there in the EFL? Off topic I have seen some bookies offering 100/1 on Bolton finishing second and 1000/1 on Peterborough finishing second- tasty odds

Gateshead playing again tonight, didn’t they play Monday?

“Shall we take a trip”, Northside, Granada Soccer Night with Elton Welsby. Absolute worldy of a tune

With NML struggling for form should Warne have made him captain? Don’t get me wrong I think he is a real quality player but the dip in form is a worry and whilst it extends longer than when he has been captain I do wonder if the captaincy is placing additional pressure on him. Probably too late to change things but I wonder if Nelson would have been a better choice?

Sibley or Wildsmith extension?

Castore? Seem to be signing up a number of teams. Think Wolves and Newcastle have their kits, not sure if any clubs outside the Prem/Spl though?

On the bench for City, no doubt still has it

With so much talk about investment and the depth of DCs pockets I question whether the club maximise the commercial opportunities at PP. Other clubs seem to hold concerts and not just at stadiums like the Etihaad, Old Trafford. I am sure the Killers played Bolton. No idea if the clubs make much money from these events and clearly the pitch may suffer but can’t recall much happening at PP. With all the nearby parking and the vicinity of the station I would have thought PP would be a decent venue. Maybe the club have tried to attract promoters but no interest or couldn’t get the numbers to work?

Budapest

Back on the 11th March there was a suggestion Collo was 3 weeks away from being available. Any updates? If on track could he make Pompey away?

Great atmosphere today and loved the flags including the Dave Mackay one. Would be great if those extra walk ups would return for the remaining home fixtures. Will they?

Ah ok, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying

Trying to get my head around player valuations within intangibles. Are the accounts saying the whole squad is only worth @ £2m after allowing for payments due on certain players? I know our valuation of players was one of the things that got us into a mess but that figure seems low particularly in the context of Cashin’s “value” and what fee we have received for Bird. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding the numbers

Any whispers about his intentions end of season and a new contract?
