    Beaten by the pitch

    Yesterday when with PB i joked with him about sorting the pitch out whilst on gardening leave. He laughed but then became serious and said that the pitch had "done for him". It had stopped the players playing football and achieving the style and results he had wanted. He's probably not far wrong.

    Question 2016 - How Was It For You?

    Not spotted a similar thread so thought I'd start it for a bit of quick reflection before we properly get going with 2017. Have seen something similar I think in previous years and always find it interesting - we all have a common bond in SUFC but outside of that all have different lives with...

  3. Gardening

    **** me this is going to be a boring thread. Here goes... I've dug out some beds in my garden. The garden is pretty shaded and stays reasonably damp. I'm looking for some nice plants and shrubs to plant which won't cost a fortune and are fairly idiot-proof. Any ideas? Suggestions? Already got...

    I know it may not be the best time of year to do this but my garden is looking a right mess and I just want to put some grass down. I bought rolls of turf but it didn't take well and has died but is slowly growing back. Plus I don't like the turf I would rather use seed and be able to have the...

    Hello folks, as I've slipped into being an old fart I need some advice regarding gardening. I've got a trellis that needs a good climbing plant - can anyone recommend one that's easy to take care of? Many thanks. And no Mad Cyril, Marajuana isn't an option. :facepalm: Oh, and is it easy to...

    What a strange world football is...

    Totally unlike any other and particularly the "real" world. A player (employee) signs a contract. For arguments sake a three year deal. It does not matter how poorly he performs his job as a player - he gets paid and not sacked. His boss, the manager who gave him the opportunity (not...

    Latest Rumours Tilson still not seen his money?

    Thought this was worthy of being in the main forum for now, rather than in the 'Ex-Shrimpers' forum where hardly anyone will see it. A little birdie told me recently that Mr. Tilson still hasn't seen any of the monies that he is owed by the club. That includes wages for 3 months before he was...

    Sturrock on the radio

    So once we got past his bid to present Gardeners' World, he sounded (if I could follow the accent ) pretty worried about the situation , especially as we can't compete financially with Conference sides thesedays. He pretty much accepted we were manure today and unfortunately I'm not referring...

    Completely untrue rumour that I will start

    The reason Paul Sturrock has not signed a contract is because when the embargo is lifted and all the players sign on the dotted line, Sturrock's contract offer will be withdrawn and Tilly will come back off Gardening leave......

    Would you go back?
