What they trying to tell us?

Perhaps shutting the food kiosk in the town end before it went to extra time in the Crawley game wasn't such a good idea either. I can understand not being able to do hot food, but hot drinks take just a moment to pour. It was freezing and that's all people wanted.

Have a whinge at the weather Watkins, but stuff like that will have longer term knock on effects when people just end up bringing their own flask to football etc.

Win three on the spin and the crowd will go up by 20%..nullifying the loss.http://acfit.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/simples.bmp

Didn't think Watkins was whinging, more just explaining the full ramifications of a postponement - there's a lot of knock-on that most of us don't realise. I thought it was quite interesting tbh

Not so simples leefer. A crowd rise of 20%, followed by a fall of 20% (or vice versa), would in fact still leave you 4% short of the original crowd.

they will lose more than 20% of their season ticket holders the way things are going this year....

Which is why it is very difficult in football to stand still....you either tend to be progressing or regressing....you get the odd interval where the brakes are taking effect, which is probably where we are now...

So recent progress has gone...we're at a temporary stand still....and now most likely to regress.

The money got from the sale of Austin is going to have to be very carefully used in team strengthening...

Good to see the Adver pointing out the bloody obvious.

Slow news day

haha who under 80 brings a flask to football you bellend!

“I had the chef down today to say he didn’t begin preparation for Saturday’s game, which is something as it will limit our wastage, but we have to prepare now for the games on the 28th and January 1.

Chef, is he having a laugh or what!

Come on, you have to be michelin starred to cook the burgers the way they do..

that knack of serving them up cold is hard to master

I wouldn't say the burgers were bad, but the "warning this product may contain meat" disclaimer was worrying.

Pork Rolls from the mobile van in the car park are the way forward.

The only thing Michelin that the burgers have is that they taste of old tyres

 Surely the club budget for winter postponements like this? It's hardly newsworthy.

Batch, those burgers are indeed fucking revolting. They smell worse than they taste though - and thats saying something!

That catering van outside the club shop is the nuts and their chips are even better than the chippy opposite the fire stn. I'd rather give the club my money for food etc, but its a no brainer when the quality and prices are so far apart.

To be fair, food is probably fairly low down the clubs list of priorities at the moment. Its a shame though because they could make a wad if they got it sorted out.

Oh well, looks like that's us out of pocket then.

Been rearranged for Tues 25th Jan.
