I would have thought so. It'd be highly unlikely that you'll have a train to yourself.

Micah is the older brother of our Zech.

I believe Micah was with us too at one point before a long spell at Huddersfield with a loan at Carlisle.

Just a bit of FYI. Late yesterday afternoon an individual donor (not institution) donated a 6 figure sum to a sister organisation of ours for the Turkey / Syria Earthquake Appeal and asked if it could be expedited to local partners on the ground ASAP. As this payment was going into Syria via Turkish...

It's an interesting area that I could really bore everyone to death about. Believe it or not there's a lot of people (Premier League footballers for example) and companies with deep pockets that want to do a lot of good. For many reasons, mainly philanthropic but also publicity, guilt and tax purpos...

Hawala. It's like a 13th century decentralised currency. Who said Crypto was a new thing! There are loads and loads of NGOs in and around Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey that will be able to provide assistance. Reading that BBC article they mentioned the Organisation Doctor's without Borders. I'd like...

Trying to get anything into Syria is difficult and why it's easier to use local partners than outsiders coming in.

Use of the Hawala system is relied upon in some instances.

Yeah, have read another article saying that money is more useful than 'stuff' atm but our nursery is doing a collection so will drop off a few things. It's difficult. It really is. I've seen some horrific stuff, most recently in Ukraine where we have deployed and continue to do so. And also Afghani...

There's collections going on here by the local Turkish community and they're literally driving stuff there. Have to take that in good faith and assume that all the clothes and equipment loaded into the vans ends up where it should. No reason to believe otherwise at the mo. Just had a text from the ...

I work indirectly for a charity that has launched an appeal for this Emergency. They are also part of the DEC. There is far too much waste and inefficiencies in the entire sector. I wouldn't donate to the charity I work with nor any others. The best course of action is direct assistance but I apprec...

Led to believe that Smythe Beckles, vigs and Happe have all been offered 2 deals . One if we are still in L2 and one if we get promoted.Who is going to sign a deal like that at this stage of the season. Better to wait until we know where we end up. By that time other clubs will be in with better co...

Imaging running on and punching your own players to victory while wearing an opposition shirt.

Didn't Swindon fans attack Jamie Jones that time?

There's a long haired kid, looks about 10/11 years old in the North Stand, has recently been sitting or standing at the front of the stand and as soon as a player walks over to take a corner or pick the ball up or whatever the kid is right in their ear asking for shirts, socks, pants. Where has this...

I've absolutely no idea. Maybe you should ask Nigel.

Yeah I do know

It isn't just season ticket holders that didn't turn up. For a fiver you could buy a match ticket a few weeks back and then just decide not to go as you have better things to do or the trains / Covid / traffic gets in the way. This will happen when you get to the point of discounting something until...

I sure don't want that pardner

Howdy y'all

I sure was in the south Stand today and I got the Ling out chant going

Talks like he's sh*tting bricks about something.

Corona Virus hotspots could literally be anywhere - couldn't they? Indeed, you may well be coming back from Lanzarote; sitting next to someone who has just also visted Northern Italy, China, etc. So, in effect, what you are suggesting is that every person coming through an airport (or port) is chec...

Cureton must have the record

It's because the game is in Wales they're allowed to stream it.
