    I sometimes watch them to get an early sight of the match highlights. I can only assume the decision to leave in the offending chant was deliberate. Still, it seems the club is happier to cosy up with the vlog “curator” than those elected to represent the fans.

    I am not sure what this has got to do with the thread’s theme.

    Yep, which includes calling out those kind of associations among parts of our fanbase. If you’re okay with that, you’re entitled to your view.

    I see it the same way. Admittedly I have not had a career as a professional footballer or manager, but I know what my own eyes tell me. We have lost a number of points due to ill timed and badly judged substitutions. On other occasions we have managed to hold on, but we have given fans undue stress. There are the fine margins that could make all the difference come the final reckoning in May.

    You are spoiled for choice in the town centre. Some spots are on the pricey side. Personally, I think the Station and Unicorn (Spoons) are to be avoided. It is though worth a short walk to the town, rather than going to the King George (next to the ground). Costello’s isn’t big but has a good selection of beers from a local microbrewery. A bit further afield, the Cheshire Tap, Kennedy’s and the Old Market Tavern are good options. As I say, there are plenty of options and if you aren’t fussy about your ale and want to watch the football, there are other options.

    Richie Ward was a local lad who played one game at inside left in February 1959 in a 2-1 home defeat v Fulham.

    Stevland and Andy both have the distinction of being the second best Scunny players with their respective surnames.

    Have I missed an announcement about what the club intends to do to mark Barrie’s passing? Surely we are not going to wait until the end of the season and wrap it up in the minute’s applause? Personally, I think we can make an exception for him without setting an unhelpful precedent.

    I have asked the club if there is a plan for a tribute at the Truro game but have had no response to date. It may be that we need to clear things with his family. Either way, it would be good to know plans. If I am honest, I expected a tribute at the Wealdstone game.

    Full recording is on Spotify now as well as on YouTube.

    The Spotify link helpfully gives chapter headings so you can go direct to topics that interest you most. Nevertheless it is worth watching on YouTube if you can spare the time.

    It was positive that it was streamed and everyone can see it who wishes. It was pleasing that the Board agreed to it and they may learn from the experience. We all have the club’s interest at heart even when we ask the tough questions.

    Roj’s digression was his sardines following the trawler moment, wasn’t it? I enjoyed it.

    I couldn’t agree more. While it is tempting to speculate and pass comment, the most intemperate posts (here and elsewhere) may make it more difficult for the Trust to advance its cause with the owners.

    Poor guy. Hopefully, he is on the mend. I didn’t realise Lee T was at Partick.

    Duncan, all day, every day. He did all the ground work for promotion that season. Wraith was a crook and a Leeds fan. And less of the old!

    I was at the game and remember this well. I recall that although Elton was at the match, the pitch incursion was by a lookey likey.

    I have started coming back on here and reading The Fishy for a sanity check. The DH cult members really should sit up and take notice if our friends down the road are concerned for their welfare.

    Apologies, I see this has been covered. A risky approach by DH. Once season tickets holders fail to renew it will be hard to get them back on pay per game pricing.
