About 20 pence a sticker. Give me mine at the turnstile and I could probably stick it on myself.
Unbelievable Jeff.

Will they ever learn ?

So game 1 we played OK for the last 45 minutes.
Game 2 we played OK for the last 4 or 5 minutes.
Maybe 8 years of sideways and backwards passing wasn’t just Southgate’s idea.

Why?
Barrows can do the marauding runs before giving the ball away.
Starbuck can do the poor defensive positioning.
Pretty sure young Rose could grow a passable mullet fairy quickly.
Waste of a wage we need to be spending on decent midfielders or a centre forward with more than one trick.
They’re using the term legends fairly loosely then Pele.

When the USA was awarded the World Cup their networks asked FIFA to introduce “Quarter Time” breaks so they could sell extra advertising.
FIFA fearing a backlash from actual footballing nations surprisingly refused but suddenly we get 3 minute “Hydration Breaks” whatever the temperature. Amazing coincidence.

Pretty good summary TJO. Covers all the main points I remember.
Wish I’d saved 30 minutes of my life and just read that.

Heard somewhere we had sold about 2,200 a couple of weeks ago. Might have been the Butler interview.
Don’t know if that’s good or bad relative to last season. Not the sort of thing the club shares as it doesn’t have a sponsor.
Suspect every Scunthorpe fan is disappointed at Roberts departure but whilst that might stop the odd casual attendee most fans willing to buy a season ticket are those that support through thick and thin.
I hope Butler is planning to at least try to not carry 5 or 6 passengers in his squad for this season so probably sees the games as having some value. If he achieves a near full squad of genuine National League level players on his budget then he’s a better manager than I thought.
The other potential benefit is we get to further build relationships with our local(ish) Premiership neighbours and get a close up look at potential loanees.
Those that don’t like the competition don’t have to watch it.

I’m obviously close to the IA and NI age bracket.

But no-one else in the entirety of English football has taken up their irresistible offer.

They were both decent having promised to be better than that when they first arrived.
Agree with Ironawe they were top 5 performers but nowhere near as important to the way the team played as Roberts, Rowley or Whitehall for whom we didn’t have able deputies.
Beestin when properly fit is better than both of them because he creates things and has a goal in him. Not quite as defensively disciplined as Westbrooke and Ewing so our cautious manager never started him unless he had to.
Butler does not have a track record of bringing in goal scoring or assist generating players. Dec is the only exception and Butler can’t work out what to do with him.Butler has his work cut out to replace Roberts, Ewing and Westbrooke from the bargain bin or he might be delivering post again by Christmas.

Don’t think we are in the financial position to be offering 3 year contracts to OK National League level (almost) 30 year olds.
We only had one player worth a 3 year deal and he’s just left the club.

Evans for me out of those already here. Hoping we give it to one of our new driving combatitive midfielders.
