Player Kit Sponsorship
at 09:14 19 Aug 2024

In the past we have sponsored a player's kit. I see in the programme, that there are quite a few slots available, so would anyone be interested in being part of a consortium sponsoring a player's kit in the name of the forum?

I'm happy to coordinate. It's £390, so I'd suggest 39 shares at £10 each.

As part of a sponsorship package we'd get a signed match issue shirt and a couple of tickets. We'd do a draw to choose the 'winners' of these with a draw entry per share.

The manager & supporter relationship
at 12:22 1 Mar 2024

Over the years, as a supporter, I've have various interactions with the manager. My fondest will be Parky often coming to the supporters bar after a game. Even after he'd left the club, he still had time for us - on the way back from an away game at Sunderland he approached us for a chat (he had not long left us for Hull).

Anyway, yesterday to my shock, I had a whole new experience. I posted something on twitter/X about Zach Mitchell not getting a game and I got a private message from Danny Cowley himself 😲

I don't know if this is a common thing - I'm not going to publicise it on twitter - but respect to him for paying attention to supporters views on social media.

For all we know, he could be lurking here too...

Looks like the club are taking action to sort out the pitch. A new job or has the existing been relieved of their duties.

Sam Walker
at 16:15 16 Nov 2023

I saw that Sam Walker was between the sticks for Charlton last night for their FA Cup replay at Cray Valley. He's signed for then on a short term deal having been without a club since the summer. Incidentally, he conceded one goal in the 6-1 win, scored by Kyrell Lisbie - son of Kevin Lisbie.

Anyway, it got me thinking about his career since leaving us in 2018. Over 4.5 seasons with us he made 213 appearances. Since leaving us he's made 75 in 5.5 seasons.

Reading (2018-21) 14
Blackpool (2020/21, loan) 2
AFC Wimbledon (2021, loan) 14
Kilmarnock (2021-23) 43
Charlton (2023) 2

A prime example of why it's not always better to leave the U's for more money.

Octopus Energy
at 13:19 28 Sep 2023

With the new energy price cap changing on 1st October I decided to see if I could get a better deal elsewhere. I've decided to switch to Octopus Energy because they were cheaper and I'd heard good things about them (such as a free electricity trial in our region).

They do a referral scheme where if you refer a friend you share £100 (£50 credit each), so I thought I'd share my referral link here if any of you want to take advantage.
