    Get The Crowd "Going" Music

    I am sure I heard Big Brian say on Saturday that the club were looking for suggestions for music to, I assume, get the crowd "going" shortly before the teams come out onto the pitch. He said that any suggestions should be sent on to the commercial department. Did I imagine that request from...

    Big brother by stealth ?

    More and more laws coming in telling us what we can't do. Annoying and often pointless announcements broadcast on public systems, e.g. TFL wherever you go. The rot has set in. It wouldn't surprise me if the government isn't sponsoring and playing subliminal messages in tha background of all...

    Ideal First Fixture Next Season?

    I know it's a month and a bit before the fixture announcements, but what would your ideal 1st fixture of the League One season be? For me Millwall away or at home!!

    Stadium plans include 127 flats ?

    Interesting front page in the Echo today saying that the stadium plan includes 127 flats in 5 or 6 story buildings. The paper shows the picture of the big buildings which I assumed was the hotel. Ron has says its part of the plan to make the stadium a 24/7 living environment. Seems odd it was...

    Season Tickets

    Saturday morning I pitched up at the Home of Football to renew my "Season Card" to take advantage of the Early Bird Discount. So, being the organised so and so I am, I had the form filled out correctly, and had a cheque made payable to the club for the £380 price. I then waited for an hour and...
  9. Jevons

    ...but to where? On the Yeovil boards it seems they are certain Way and Jevons are going. Way to Swansea and Jevons to either us or Bristol City! I am expecting announcements by Saturday's game. Yeovil board

    quality!

    Actor Tom Baker is to take over BBC One on Thursday evening - giving viewers spoof continuity announcements written by the duo behind Little Britain. Baker's script has been written by Matt Lucas and David Walliams to coincide with the show's new series. The former Doctor Who will...
  11. Managers making their transfer targets public

    Just a few thoughts on all of the latest 'Players refusing to sign their new contract' news. I think we should wait and see what Flavs, Dudfield, Che, Nicky and Jay do re their contracts, before we get too worked up about whether they will or won't sign. It would be somewhat ironic if a player...

    Grimsby match & thoughts....

    What a nightmare... we got our tickets pretty late and ended up with a choice of first or last row. I chose last and things were looking good as the hard rain lashed down before kick-off... But we quickly realised that we couldnt see the opposite end of the pitch without ducking down - but...

    Anyone Flying Soon

    Here are some real in-flight announcements that have been heard or reported: On landing the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all your belongings.  If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have." "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there...
  16. Arena Essex Hammers

    Announce the signing of Gary Havelock, having already announced that Mark Loram will be re-signing for the next season. It means we have the last 2 British World Champions riding for us. Thoughts? Personally, I've not been really convinced by Havelock as a top class rider in recent years...
  17. Match Report

    Well I arrived at the Hall for my 1st home game of the season due to being on holiday for the other ones. Sat in Row P of the East Greens for the first time, and my praise goes to everyone who sits on those wooden seats normally. No leg room, and very stiff backs! Anyway on with the report...
