Boo Boo the local Council.. who ever it iz
The council’s so financially cash-strapped they need to sell the stadium – like virtually every council in the country their budget has been cut and cut and cut over the last 14 years to the point that they can’t afford basic services, nevermind valuable community facilities. The real story here is how communities & society have been so royally shafted in the last 14 years. And maybe also why the EFL felt the need to have such a hard & fast rule – especially given the unusual circumstances and the fact the club has played there for more than 40 years….
Never vote Tory.

Hand of God and 2010 goal are clear and obvious – would take 5 seconds then goal awarded. This suspect line drawn around somebody’s foot with a debatable point of release from the player playing the ball in – something has to give with this.
Playing Devil’s advocate, here, don’t you have to take the rough with the smooth? Is creating multiple truckloads of awful VAR decisions (like the one on Sunday) and slowing games right down really worth it, just to ensure a couple of goals given that originally weren’t, or to disallow the Hand Of God? In other words: are the occasional positives of VAR really worth the consistent negatives, as well as the general effect on the pace of games?

Forest aren’t too happy with VAR, they’re in for a hammering from the authorities.
I absolutely applaud them for publicly speaking out and saying they’ve had enough – in the same way that I applaud all of the clubs who have come out and complained about the recently announced changes to the FA Cup.
This quite British attitude of ‘shut up and take it on the chin like everybody else has to’ is a self-defeating trick. Revolution has to start somewhere.

If you mean physically hand over cash or tap your card at the turnstile itself then absolutely not.
This would seem to the easiest way to do it, or am I missing something?
Ordinarily on a match day you can’t hand over cash or tap your card at the turnstiles. You have to queue to get a ticket at the window located where the home end snack bar used to be near fanzine / Iron Trust corner, or go and get one from the main office. I imagine there is a reason for this, and I don’t see it changing for the Play Offs.

Everyone who really wants a ticket will get one.
Is there any members of the forum or anyone they know can honestly claim that they wanted to a ticket for an SUFC home match but weren’t able to get one either online or by visiting the ticket office or via telephone?
No, didn’t think so.It’s not a complaint about the availability of tickets. It’s about the inconvenience to all concerned, especially the club staff and systems, when there is an unnecessarily narrow on-sale window.

Do you not think it’ll be pay-on-the-gate?

Are people just frustrated that they can’t post a screenshot of their ticket on their social media?
I think it’s more generous than that – ie. it’s an awareness of the (admittedly short term) undue strain this is likely to put on club resources, plus the hassle involved for those people who don’t buy digitally having to go down to a very busy club office within a very limited timeframe to, probably, queue for ages.

It’s possible that those from recent years might be the subject of gagging orders. Surely any manager between Laws and Nelson (inclusive) will have tales to tell if able. (Maybe leave out those that would send the crowd to sleep before they got to the interesting bits. You know who I mean!)
There was the sense (during Laws’s bit at the Kevin Keegan event) that he was unable to talk about the Peter Swann years, so I suspect you are absolutely correct about NDAs being in place.
Turnbull only half-heartedly tried to draw Laws out on Swann, and it was obvious this was more Turnbull putting Laws on the spot to make him uncomfortable for a laugh between them.
It was also equally clear that there was plenty Laws could say about Swann but wouldn’t, or would say about Swann but couldn’t.

Hopefully no injuries and or red cards in the last 2 fixtures
I think the worst case scenario would be Whitehall getting injured or suspended and having to play Elliott in the play offs.
Start with Whitehall on Saturday, go for it from the off, and once it’s clear we’ve won the game take him off. Then don’t play him at Gloucester.
