Enjoyed that. Could/should have had 10.

Any idea of the crowd🤔

Cheers Shaun, that beat the 1465 they had against Rovers.

Very nice to meet you Molepar and Wobbly Bob.

I have to say it felt like 1700 people when I was crawling around trying to make sure people didn't bump into me.  I even wore shorts so people could see the bruising so they may have been a bit careful around me.  Didn't seem to make much difference.

Enjoyed what I could see of the game.  Typical of these games the lower ranked team seemed to have a couple of players who were trying to show these poncy types from the football league.  Chip 6 I think it was who tried to force Smiths head into the ground in some sort of wrestling move.  And their 11 was trying too hard.  He was nicely ignored by Clark who practically just laughed at him.

Will Henry had a great game and kept the score respectable.

Nice run out.

Doesn't surprise me. Same at the air tattoo today - people walking straight into the push chair and trying to push past me and my 12 year old lad in the shops afterwards. Society massively gone down hill since I was younger and I'm only 36!

Edit to add: these were mainly 40 plus blokes not teenagers 

Sounds like the footy could be promising this season anyway. Top 7 has to be the aim!

Holloway not too pleased and apologised for the colourful language   He mentioned the Smith contract situation here; how did you all interpret that? Sounds like Smith may have rejected the initial offer?

[Jimmy Quinn]

He’s certainly passionate

Blimey, he wasn't happy. Good to have high standards of course

Yeah, sounded like we didn't offer what he wanted.

Still, unambiguous he's not for sale  and Ollie has the day on that

[Jimmy Quinn]

At least we know he’s going to give everything whilst he’s here. Also sounded like a few of the Town fans had been on the beer 

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Sounded a bit harsh on the face of it but in any sport you can't accept second best and he can't have the players becoming complacent. He couldn't have been more emphatic that Harry is staying while he is under contract and people really need to take him at his word on that.

Got to see down expectation markers up front.

Bit like a teacher with a new class year, hit them with the strict early on so they know where they stand, adjust as term goes on so they don't rebel against a year of hell

Whilst of course there are some fantastic people about, there are so many thoughtless, selfish urchins around. Commuting into London 3 times a week I see endless examples of this.
