We went on a Saturday night, on our way to Rhod Gilbert at the Victoria Theatre. We had three courses, and I don't recall being in there much over an hour.

Interesting, page doesn't exist when you follow the link now. Click on go to homepage, and it takes you one called Ossett United.

I couldn't recall how far back it was that the sky deal ran out for Champ/League 1.

Can't comment for 25, but in previous seasons they've not been allowed to due to the sky deal.

Cheers. Not sure if that wholly explains why prices since pre covid have gone from £3.40 to £5.60+ in one and £3.20 to £4.30 over the same period in the other, but does make sense. Still seems nuts to me, but if the brewery is making money I don't suppose they'll care.

Always a risk. I only made about half the home games last season, so I'm still up on that, for now at least.

It is what it is, but I'd be interested to understand why fixtures are getting changed.

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?

Toby Boothroyd confirmed. https://featherstonerovers.co.uk/boothroyd-makes-featherstone-switch/

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.
