 All aboard the ZaviAir flight to Mansfield! Look mate, the players have all been issued with second hand Nike Air trainers. Happy now? |

When did Michael Doughty last clock in for a day's work?
This passage is still appearing in the Monthly Nonsense:
With Michael Doughty now announced as Chief Sustainability Officer, the Club is working with the OSC and
Trust to drive improvements to its environmental footprint and be a leading light in sustainability.
Someone now runs around and turns the lights off at the end of the day and they've been using Devine as a draft excluder. We have also managed to get ourselves knocked out of the mid week cup competitions to avoid needing the floodlights too often. See also the response about not having potable water, which ensures we use less of that resource and help reduce the risk of drought conditions in Swindon. |

Add to that the lack of infrastructure investment and all that terrible embodied carbon that comes with it. The North Stand probably one of the most carbon efficient football stands around nowadays. Doughty is doing a fantastic job.

I think that Elton John at the CG was announced in mid March 2005 for June 19th appearance. All in good time. |

The world has changed. Almost every major act will have their plans locked, announced and onsale for the summer by the end of Nov at the very latest. |

We'll see. There are plenty of areas where the club is fair game at the moment. This isn't one of them. Not yet. |

Well, I think it is fair to ask what is happening. They've gone off half-cocked and announced a concert before they had any idea of how to make it a reality. I can't think that any promoter wouldn't want to announce well this side of Christmas when they are looking at selling approx 10,000 tickets in a completely unproven market. Saxondale made some good points on this. It is another example of the pie in the sky, amateur approach. Much like saying we will be a 'leading light' in sustainability and have the best Academy outside the Premier League. This is by no means a slam dunk and if they get it wrong, it'll be the playing budget that suffers. |

Yeah, a large helping of scepticism is understandable. We don't know the degree of effort that is going into this behind the scenes. I would say that James Watts seems to be doing a decent job on the commercial side of things at the moment and he's got a stint as a Promotions Manager on his CV which is encouraging. |

Ah come on, we aren't on the hook with a promoter afaik.
If it's aborted because it's not viable, it doesn't matter.
Something to worry about if they fuck it up. Not now

Well, he ran some nightclub nights and he does profess to be the most successful underground Welsh act of all time ! That was over 12 years ago. |
