From Jonny Leighfield at the Adver:
EFL contact tells me he is asking about an update this morning RE Morfuni approval but that Town fans shouldn't be worried as it's just a case of properly completing the process. As far as asking for a timelime goes, I'm unlikely to know as the EFL doesn't comment on that. #STFC
I have heard something very similar over the weekend. As for gambling, I have never gambled or bet on anything, its a mugs game and you never come out on top in the long run, I have several mates that gamble heavily and yes they win some but lose far more. I don't even do the lottery.

I remember as a kid there was a guy in the Working Mens Club who used to play the fruit machines most of the night, , I recall one evening where he left to go to the cashpoint to get out more money to keep playing, and someone else won the jackpot whilst he was away.

I once worked with some Irish bloke in a pub who knew how to game the machines. He wasn't allowed to play them himself but would still tell me which buttons to push when nobody else was around. I often ended up going home with pockets full of coins.

I think he eventually broke the gambling link, even if it sounds bonkers

We used to solder pound coins onto copper wire when we were younger and go in to flickers and come out loaded

My mum worked in a few arcades with her cousin Charile Edwards, of Edwards fairs (and Becky Godden-Edwards) fame. There were several one arm bandit games in which if you press the "hold buttons" in a specific order and then cancelled them they always paid out the jackpot. That was about 30 years ago but I think some are still around like that.

Sorry to tell you Fruit machines are just basically a micro processor with set% of wins loses and jackpots and all other random results... But end of the day they return what ever % they are set too. Sad but true. Bit like every lottery.

Mate of mine at Uni would sit there and watch the fruit machines in the pub, then after a few had played he would normally ask us all for a few quid and invariably we would get back more than you gave him.
Just a question of watching them for the cycles he seemed to suggest.
I have a bet on the horses most weeks (watching ITV racing on a Saturday afternoon has become quite the habit to do together for myself and the missus each week(, my 50p E/W bets are never going to change the world, put £20 in 18 months back and still not had to charge account since.

I can remember an Edwards from the fair at school maybe by the name of Jane

I think the only proven winner was an American who travelled from state to stated buying thousand's of tickets in local lotteries That said finally he got caught and was charged by some petty law... May be not completely correct.😎

Perhaps Hodgetts can enlighten us from where he resides - deep within the Power camp?
