I was about to post that home games fall better for me this year, with 9 of 12 I can make without any diary clash. If London has been moved, that's down to 8. Season ticket turning out to be good value again.

Question for those of you who may know more about brewery workings than I do. Why is a pint of Taylor's beer in my local Taylor's tenanted pub generally between £1 & £1.50 more per pint than in a free house a mile down the road? Do brewery's usually try to price themselves out of business in their own pubs?

Probably depends a bit on the demographic of potential customers. I'd put money on things being more expensive in Hebden Bridge than Fev for example. A wider question to me is what is the purpose of charity shops? Is it to maximise revenue to generate as much as possible for the charity, or should it be a low priced offering, enabling those who are struggling financially to be able to pick up second hand essentials at an affordable price?

Could be, given the sponsorship of the night in the clubhouse announced yesterday.

One of the last big hitters, in more than one way. Shame there aren't so many left like him

The element that's most pleasing to me is that for the first time in a few years we appear to have a recruitment strategy that's a little more complex than "sign any older SL players that can't get a contract". A mix of younger players, proven Championship experience and still a smattering of SL experience seems a more balanced approach. A mix of contract lengths offered out also gives assurance and continuity, with 12 months seemingly being offered to either those towards the end of their career or those just getting a first chance at this level.

I'm sure the club will have a far clearer picture of his fitness and potential future plans than we do.

Perhaps he's not decided.

When was he at Fax?

One of my team came back from 10 months mat leave this week. She had a tree (albeit a tiny one) on her desk within about a minute of arriving.

His brother is landlord of our very expensive local.

Thought he was already signed up?

I wasn't particularly replying to anyone with my view, other than the OP. That said, I'd agree on your view about Bradford, given they've announced what I would expect to be the bulk of their squad.

Far too early to say, we need to know what squads are looking like.

Joining Hull?

I was more concerned about the comment about us being good at the back end of the season!

I'd agree in the context you're saying. It's more the quantity to me, as I mentioned earlier I'd have expected a daily announcement or a signing this week leading up to season tickets being available. Everyone will have a view though, and I doubt anyone will be spot in with what actually happens.

I'm calm. I'd just suggest that we need to learn to manage expectations across the fanbase, not indicate lots of "exciting news in the coming days" when one of them is nothing more than a calendar. Under promise, over deliver.

I'd have expected a signing announcement per day at least this week, assuming we've at least 5 to announce.

Aekins 2 years. That's two half backs in two days.

LED advertising boards, they're the future.
