    The Brennan B2

    I'm thinking of investing in a Brennan B2 and moving our entire CD collection onto it. http://www.brennan.co.uk/ The starting model is around £380 and whilst that isn't mega money it's enough to make me ask if there is anyone on the Zone that has got, or used, one. Alternatively, does anyone...
  2. 1966 and all that

    First of all I have to agree with PB and quite a few of the SZ contributors: in balance there wasn’t evidence enough to award a goal. Sorry Barry. But the mind goes back to 1966. I’ve looked into that, and I have to say the (West) Germans had a point. A 1996 study conducted by the engineering...

    Crowd Cube

    Does anyone use it? Whats it all about and has anyone had any returns from it yet? Just looking into other ways of investing some of my savings as banks just don't give you great interest.

    Winter Coats - what's your preference?

    Thinking of investing in a new winter coat. I have seen a Fjallraven parka I quite fancy but it isn't waterproof which puts me off a bit. What's your style for the winter? Gore tex/Poor tex shell, anorak or a smart raincoat or wool overcoat?

    Player advice

    Hi, just been having a look at my squad, and I've got one stand out player. His rating is three times that of my next highest rated player, and four times any beyond that however his wages are also four times that of any other player. I'm at the moment considering whether he's worth keeping...

    The club appears to be going forward.

    Whatever the rights & wrongs of taking a chance on Freddy...it really does look as though the club is determined to go forward. If you look at the investment in the playing staff (good and not so good) since January, it is difficult to criticise the club for lack of ambition or for failing to...
  9. Investing Question

    Couldn't find any threads on this from the past couple of years, so thought I'd create a new one. Sorry if this has been discussed before. I have some money in a Savings Account getting interest at about 0.2% per year, so I am wanting to get more for my money. I've heard about Cash ISAs and...

    iPad3

    So it seems that the new iPad3 will be announced next Wednesday. Anyone thinking of getting one? I've not had on before, but have looked enviously at others who have. Thinking of investing as it's my birthday next week. Anyone else tempted? http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1331226

    Is it worth still investing in the youth academy?

    If like me the finances are biting and you are running at a loss, does it make sense to continue investing in the youth academy at a time when the transfer market is deflated? How much are you receiving from your sales of youth players? How much are you spending on trainees in the transfer...

  14. New Youth setup

    Has anyone got much insight into the new youth set up in Blackout? I decide to start investing the full amount with about 4 weeks of the season to go (last season) and have a reasonable youth set up for the cross-over to the new system. So far I haven't got any decent players, but I guess the...

    Ron Martin in truth shocker

    "The reduction in ticket prices will not as a consequence reduce the level of planned investment in the squad" In other words, we wont now be investing less than the planned zero. ;)

    Question Is it time for us to take a leaf out of Cardiffs book?

    Cardiff fans yesterday protested about there chairman Peter Risdale not investing enough in to the squad. In my opinion the situation Cardiff are in ,was our situation about this time a year ago. I beleive as fans we are too fickle accpeting that we are such a small club that we shouldnt be...

    A Vision From Our Future

    Last night I ended up at Darlington v Lincoln. A new ground, not sure if we've ever played there. A beautiful piece of architecture. A cracking ground inside. Certainly much better than Colchester. If I could liken it to another ground, its a larger version of the Keepmoat. Capacity is, I am...

    Time for RM to show he means it - actions speak louder than words !

    In his countless blogs, which do as much to confuse as clarify, we have been reassured by our beloved Chairman that the club has a bright future. This month could well be pivotal to the club's future. Cast your minds back a few short years and many of us were urging Uncle Ron to not let a...
