I remember once driving through one of the tunnels between Switzerland and Italy. The car said it was 40 degrees outside (whilst inside the tunnel). We didn't believe it so we briefly opened one of the windows. It was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Bah humbug!!! 38 Degrees C to 40 Degrees C - is nothing compared to when I was working on a Saudi Arabian desert airfield, changing aircraft engines, and the temperature reached 52 Degrees C., that's 126 Degrees Fahrenheit in old money. The desert heat is very dry, so God help us if it had been humid as we get in the UK. You can get used to a high temperature, but the humidity is worse.

StevenageRam Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Anybody heading down here tonight wanting a drink beforehand there is clubhouse bar behind the away end which is for home and away fans. Other than that there is the Roebuck inn or Toby carvery which are 10-15 minutes walk away down London Road and there is a harvester on the Roaring Meg retail park. Other than that you will need to head for the town centre which is about 15-20 mins walk away Ellafella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Sat in the bar in the holiday inn hotel (as you do) team bus just pulled up for pre match meal. Spoke to Jake Buxton cos he was at School with my kids, had a few words with Cashin, said he was looking forward to it, spoke to NML told him I thought he’s had a good couple of games so far, my wife’s busy getting autographs for my grandson but she’s no idea who any of the players are. Was going to have an afternoon nap but that’s not going to happen now ? Inverurie Ram, bimmerman, angieram and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never experienced temperatures as high as today - and I lived in Malaysia/Singapore for 3 years. Saying that, when I was a lad at school in Singapore, historical records indicated that the highest screen temperatures ever recorded in London were (at the time) higher than the highest screen temperatures ever recorded in Singapore.

Millenniumram Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Pretty sure Rosenior said he was planning to give the younger / reserve players a bit more game time in this one. I’d hazard a guess that means it’ll be the opposite to how we set up against Hertha Berlin pretty much - start with the backup team, then bring the first choice players on at 60 mins roughly. With that in mind, I expect us to start something like: Loach Oduroh Stearman Cashin Forsyth Aghatise Thompson Robinson Nunn Stretton Sibley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, what do we learn? For example, Cashin at the side of Chester, Stretton and Sibley playing off McGoldrick. But you may well be right. Missed opportunity, if so.
