  1. For a brief period Logan Campbell was unplayable also agree with Barry Williams, Shane Varley and Johnny Limmer
  2. Scottish film Schemers currently on iPlayer, recommend to any
  3. The Wager by David Grann, absolute belting non fiction book that reads like a story about the shipwrecked vessel and the aftermath
  4. In non league football both Widnes and Farsley Celtic won’t play this season, big disappointment for the northern premier league with Widnes going , will have to run with 21 teams now
  5. Totally agree watching at the moment and enjoying, love Scottish drama always familiar faces the 2 brothers from guilt and the trainspotting girls
  6. Dragged along to see 28 years later and surprisingly quite enjoyed it, think Danny Boyle has finally lost the plot with his final scene, although did like the way he cut other film clips and news reels into the main film
  7. Reds doing a presentation to general public tonight, is there plans for one at derwent park or is this the only one, will probably wander down as I’m off work and listen to the q&a
  8. The only improvement they will get is their big tv screen sailing in from god knows where, while not totally convinced with the new plans I’ve been impressed with the town boards responses to negativity from our own fans and feel more comfortable knowing that they are fully behind the scheme
  9. Shareholders meeting on 17th June to share the latest on the new development
  10. Hopefully see an improvement in crowd numbers, not helped as usual by a terrible fixture schedule, am at work for nearly every home game this season . What was attendance last week and what is the budget figure needed ?
  11. The Religion is mainly based on the siege of Malta in 1565 and its defence by the Knights of St John, the follow up is based on the St Batnolomews day massacre in Paris. Willocks also wrote the excellent Green river rising about a prison riot in America
  12. Wow, Edward Rutherford haven’t read Sarum but his book London is excellent and no doubt set out the same, only read a couple of Scarrows Roman books but all been good , his Sword and scimitar stand alone book is good but not as good as Tim Willocks similar book The Religion (part of an unfinished trilogy) which is always my favourite historical fiction book
  13. Will be loads of clubs near yourself been at Glasgow at weekend playing in a 24 team tournament, competitive but great fun
  14. I’m a few years older than yourself but ever thought of taking up walking football, socialising and fitness all in one
  15. On hurricanes twitter page
  16. Just under 50,000 for a women’s nations league game on a Tuesday night in February, would have been over 70,000 on a Saturday, get your pricing and marketing right and the crowd will be there
  17. Also took time to look at the website which hasn’t been updated for an age, all very vague on there, about time for some honest feedback. Also took the time to go to the reds game Saturday and have a good look around. The old grandstand which is due for demolition has had it , a third of the roof sheets on the popular side have been totally removed and the steelwork on that side and behind the goals needs replaced, however the terracing around the ground is in good condition. The Lonsdale park dog track area is well overgrown but hopefully will provide an important 2nd all weather community pitch and to honest should have been the first thing built down there . 1200 at the game but couldn’t find anyone with any solid information to what the hell is happening ,just rumours.
  18. Enjoyed the game even with the final score line. The challenge now is to try and market the league games to the same standard as this one . Well over 2500 home fans for a game we had no realistic chance of winning, no reason that we can’t get the majority of those interested enough to watch a winning team
  19. Must be paying adults, which will be fantastic news
  20. Should be a great occasion, beautiful morning just hope grass thaws out , garden is solid ice this morning
  21. Reds have issued a press release today about the above, demolition of old grandstand in may and hope to stay there for a season during construction but should be completed for the following season.
  22. Weather forecast dry and cold ,not too much wind , think there could be a large walk up attendance with people making last minute decisions . Possibly just over the 3000 barrier
  23. Definitely hoping for 3000 , any chance of an update on how many tickets sold so far?
  24. 19 million pound nhs diagnostic centre and 12.4 million pound innovation centre. As usual there is no joined up thinking in decisions and would have ideally and easily have been incorporated on one site with the stadium. Anyone who has walked down central square lately will wonder how planning permission was granted when they see it. Just hope that if it all goes pear shaped some money can be salvaged for a full size 4g pitch on the dog track site absolutely criminal that the council has allowed the town to still not have a facility within the town boundaries
  25. Worrying times for sport in the town , absolutely no feedback on this venture from any source. As far as I understand reds lease is up this year and town sold theirs in 2020 leaving everyone vulnerable. Time for some honest comments from both boards, the council, the csv and mps present and past. The only answers I receive is work is going on but it’s confidential. Best comment I can make is let’s try and achieve a really large crowd on Friday night and show everyone the value of the club to the area
