If we get Dagenham & Redbridge away, go for the Corporate package. Not overly expensive and it is quite a modest affair - the Halo it isn’t!! Basically a Sunday roast with wine and beers. The best bit is they put you in the front two rows of seats directly behind the dugouts!! And when ai say directly behind them you are about 6ft above the dugouts and right behind them and they can definately hear what you say. Now, if there is anyone who has a burning desire to tell RM exactly what you think of his team selections, tactics and substitutions you’ll never get a better opportunity 😀 |

If we don’t get the Sk8’s then Harrogate away would be a new ground for me and a nice place to stay overnight to make a weekend of it. Some decent pubs and places stay.
By the way we are ball No.36 and as has been mentioned the Sk8’s are ball No.31.
If we do get the Sk8’s away Tyler Dibling will probably get about two grand in £ coins thrown at him by the inbreds - I’ll never forget Lawrie McMenemy’s post match MOTD interview after the 1983/84 FAC 4th Round 1-0 win at Fratton; when asked for his reaction to the win he said “we got a result, 2lb of bananas and £5.50 in loose change!” As you may well remember, the inbreds were throwing the bananas at Danny Wallace.
In an attempt to get the above quote from Lawrie as accurate as possible I came across this article which is quite a good read and features some quotes from our Nick. The deluded Sk8 ST holder interviewed near the end of the article is hilarious - in fact, it might well be 130 years & 1 cup - yep, that deluded…

I think the Vergini OG in Sunderland’s 8-0 battering at SMS was a better quality finish but this one did have a certain degree of deft subtlety about it so I see what you are saying Pat. |

No doubt using skills they were taught by Mandaric during the Gyspy Caravan era famously featuring the cash only turnstiles 😉 - of course they paid the VAT on those admissions, yeah sure they did - more chance of seeing the Pope lead a sounder of trained warthogs in a complex tap dance routine… |

Hmmm, not sure on this one. Looking at the ST T&C’s, on the one hand, it looks like if you default on a payment (such as cancel the DD) they would simply block the ticket giving you access to home games. However, there appears to be a sting in the tail in that it is further covered in Section 13 of the T&C’s (specifically 13.2.18) where defaulting on payment for your ST becomes considered a ‘serious breach’ of the T&C’s. Now, I am no legal expert, but I would think that might mean if /when SR finally see the light and kick RM [Football Genius] out of whatever is left of our club and you decide to come back to the fold you might just find that you are blacklisted for a seriou breach of club rules & regs. As I say that is only my assumption of what might happen but I wouldn’t put it past them!
I have not exactly done an exhaustive search for the ST T&C’s so the link below is to the T&C’s from last season. Anyway, might be best to check out the what if’s before you or Saint 22 cancel your DD’s, that said, I do fully understand your utter frustration with the current situation.

I’m not the only one that saw it, I mentioned it on the ’Dibling’ thread and Grumpy replied:
I saw that look on Dibling's face. Martin and his whole crew need to go.
I think we have already seen Dibling receive a bit of the cold shoulder treatment from RM [Football Genius] having been started on the bench for the two crucial games against v Everton & Wolves when he has the talent to make a real difference against two teams who on paper were both beatable - and indeed both would have been rather than just the one if we had a decent manager… [Post edited 26 Nov 18:03]

5 - The football genus that is Russel Martin giving Dibling a b@llocking on the halfway line during a break in play in the second half, by the look of it, for not doing defensive duties. You should have seen the look on Dibling’s face, fair play to the lad, he argued his case but in the end he just gestured as if to say what’s the point. The final look he gave Martin was as if to say you total and utter pr#ik - and how right Dibling is… |

You are spot on re Martin getting on Dibling’s back - there was a break in play this afternoon with the score at 2-2 and you could see Martin having a go at Dibling face to face by the touch line. You could see Dibling didn’t agree with what he was being told to do and did have his say back but Martin was insistent so it ended with Dibling shrugging and gesturing as if to say what is the point? I reckon at 18 Dibling has a better footballing brain than the oaf Martin and certainly more of an idea how to play the game knowing his own ability. As you have pointed out, a perfect opportunity presented itself near the end to have got him away and quite possibly get the equaliser, that is, if we didn’t have such a numpty for a manager… Because of his love for SFC I thought we might have half a chance of him staying here for a while as he feels so at home here but every week Martin isn’t sacked the less likely that becomes… |

I really miss the Dell days - was talking to a good friend of mine who supports Man U (born & bred in Ancoats) and he was saying he remembered the days when I really looked forward to Man U & Liverpool games at The Dell and he never felt confident going down there as it was such a hostile atmosphere to play in and often difficult to get a result. Three of my top Dell days were victories against Man U (3-2 Keegan era & 6-3 when Keane got sent off) but that 4-1 win against Liverpool was probably the best 90 mins I have seen. On top of the four goals shared by Paul Rideout, Rod Wallace & Matt Le Tiss, both Rideout & Rod W hit the woodwork, Shearer could have had at least one before half time and Grobbelaar made several good saves one of which defied gravity let alone belief! Seriously, 8-1 would not have overly flattered us that day. Those were the days, just look at us now - and for that matter, what the game itself has become 35 years on from that glorious afternoon at The Dell. |

I think he’s at the club but not in RM’s PL 26 - far as I know clubs have to select a PL squad of 26 players max and I don’t think ABK is in the mix. Have no idea if / when you can alter the nominated players or if emergency alterations can be made to cover injuries. I assume the January window must allow changes but not sure otherwise…. i stand to be corrected if that is wrong 😀 |

Thanks Nick, fair comment, I had not considered the reasons you have highlighted and therefore the potential impact had the Club done something along the lines of what Villa did to remember Chris. Having read your post it now makes sense so thanks for enlightening me - just didn’t join the dots up on that one… |

Agreed, so sad to see such a commanding player reduced to what he is today by this cruel condition. Had a bench seat under the West Stand when he was playing for us, it was just past the outside edge of the box so for 45 mins every game we had a ringside seat for a Dave Watson or a Chris Nicholl masterclass every home game. Hard as nails the pair of them but sadly both have had to pay a high price in later life - and I still have not forgiven the SFC hierarchy for failing to acknowledge CN’s passing at the following home game. |

Just go to one of its posts and tap the little icon with the red X in the bottom right hand corner of the post [ignore user] and it consignes all of its drivel to the UI sewers and you no longer have to read them. Did it for this tool and also that other tool Porchy Blue. Anything they post just disappears and any reply, like yours, I can read your reply but the original post just shows in a little box as ‘post from 130 ignored’ Simple, and makes the site Sk8 free for me as I have zero interest in the likes of 130 and anything they have to say. |
