Yes but he's already in Boston or Washington so suggestion is he's on a flight from SFO tonight which seems as likely as rockinghorseshit. Rockinghorseshit is in Texas anyway.

Get in, ‘Bart time. Bit over the top though imo for the appointment of an Head Groundsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCOWl Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 2 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: Learned today that it’s not about duff UK engineering - we deliberately only stress/stretch the steel to around 27 degrees Celsius worth of expansion in UK, as we’re so rarely above that it’s not worth extra cost to ‘prepare’ it for greater expansion during forging (plus ours also has to cope with freezing temps & contraction in winter too). Other hotter countries set theirs up to expand to 35 degree temps or more, ‘cos it’s worth the significant extra outlay during manufacturing if they hit those temps fairly often. Cost would be phenomenal to upgrade our whole network. Makes you wonder how much of our country’s infrastructure just isn’t ready to cope with a baked planet - we could actually end up in a worse position than many currently poorer nations in that regard. So does this mean there is a senior meeting in London or isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Manwithastick Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Sorry to be mr boring but it's pretty straight forward. Someone due at the meeting in London has told Casbah this in good faith but has simply got a minor detail wrong. I'm sure that whoever it is was sincere in saying DC is flying in from SF - what that does is actually confirm that DC WAS in SF. The fact that he's moved on and is in Boston is immaterial. Much better flight - will be fresher than a haul from SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 For DC to call a mgt meeting in London is not per se unusual. What is unprecedented is him calling one on the weekend of a prestigious home game against a respected European club who’s officials DC would normally host! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
