Re: Our first 10 fixtures

Re: RE: POSH

I always thought the BBC radio rights were agreed with the EFL rather than individual clubs. Interesting. I think any club has the option to opt out.

Re: Ashes 2023

I think the issue today is the fitness of Stokes. If were able to be one of the main seam bowlers then both Bairstow and Foakes would be in the team.

Re: Ashes 2023

Indeed. In terms of England, what could have been if they had a proper, world class wicket keeper they could have chosen... Bairstow, I think, dropped 3 catches and missed an easy stumping. I'm not sure how many runs those players then went on to make after they should have been dismissed but it wa...

Re: Mourinho/Anthony Taylor

Probably an equivalent to a slap on the wrist. If it were me making the decisiion, I would suspend his pro-licence for next season.

I would also give out similar type suspensions to the likes of Klopp, Arteta etc.

Re: The scrap below

Let;s put our away fan numbers in perspective.

I would estimate that we have 3000 hard core fans. If we take, say, 450 to an away game that is 15%.

It is equivalent to 4500 fans from a club that has 30,000 hard core fans.

We don't do so bad at all.

With the end of iFollow streaming, it will mean less money from me going directly into CTFC's coffers. I assume it will be available on Now TV and so assume all of it ends up in Sky's pockets.
