Chris (Barry Bannan look-a-like) in the ticket office has been there some years, always happy to have a chat and I bump into him quite a lot at away games. It's people like this that deserve recognition for me.

As others have said, feel like we just need an experienced keeper who is probably pushing 35+ with experience of the lower leagues and wont command a free. Transfer Markt state Ben Alnwick is available on a free, but I'm sure he's at Bolton?

Possibly a combination of all three. I believe he has hinted at issue getting money out of Thailand before in one of his press calls. Whatever the reason(s), at least things seem to be getting sorted behind the scenes. Great scoop for Nixon again btw, he's obviously got a reliable HP source feeding him updates at the moment.

Nixon indicating money not an issue for Chansiri, which makes this entire farce baffling if true. What possible explanation is there for Chansiri doing this?

It was Börner and Paterson. Börner wanted to push through his move back to Germany. Paterson was just peed off about missing wages.

I heard he kicked up the biggest fuss about the unpaid wages and was the first to threaten to hand in his notice. Looks like his actions got it sorted. If he's been paid up to date then surely others have as well? Positive step forward but it can't keep happening.

Trumpet player has worked in our ticket office for years and I often see him at away games. Nice guy. But yeah, should have hung up their instruments years ago at Hillsborough. All a bit tinpot now.

Also just finished Clarkson’s Farm. One of them TV shows where you think "am I really going to watch this?" but after one episode you're hooked. I thought we saw a different side to Clarkson, and the programme really got across the harsh realities of being a farmer in the UK. Kaleb, Charlie, Gerald etc. all stole the limelight, it was hard to remember that these guys aren't professional actors. Great watch.

We binge watched the lot in one night, loved it. Never really though I was a fan of Sean Bean but I thought he was brilliant in this. Stephen Graham is one of my favourite actors, too. His back story is just incredible and always comes across as down to earth. Read a story over the weekend about him living in a quiet village in Leicestershire in a modest house. He went to the local tattooist for something small doing, bloke says there's no charge in return for a pic for social media and his signature to hang on the shop wall. SG pulls out £50 and signs it for him. Brilliant.

Imagine this was driven by Liam Dooley, would have to be a good deal for Chansiri to axe Elev8 so credit to him. I have no issue with the quality of Elev8, but the constant delays and ridiculous pricing structure just made it difficult to accept by the fan base. It feels like Chansiri has has enough of the work involved to manufacturer our own kit, wonder if it's for financial/time reasons or due to something else... Stokes new 21/22 kit is priced at £48, so imagine ours will be similar. It's still a bit of a saving when you consider last year's Elev8 shirt was launched at £59.

I remember being quite impressed with our recruitment back then, the season wasn't going too bad and then we got thrashed 5-1 at Exeter around Christmas time and just fell apart. Irvine couldn't get the best from the squad, feels completely different under Moore but the recruitment is non existent at the moment.

Love McKee's work (my house is covered in his prints) but the irony of this is lost on me, like walking around in a t-shirt that says 'point and laugh at me'... suppose it's the same with the replica shirts to be honest... And I was mega excited after he put a teaser out yesterday!
