Re: What next for office culture (and the commute)?

I've been working from home since mid-March and could happily do this full time. I love the social aspect of the office, but is that really worth 2 hours of driving a day? I get more sleep now, save more money, and I have more control over my work than ever before. The 9-5 rat race is exhausting and...

Re: What are you looking forward to next season?

Always liked the look of Bolton's stadium, so looking forward to that away trip.
It'll also be nice if we have a cup run and get to wear the braces kit more than once.

Re: BEST ORIENT GOAL YOU HAVE SEEN

Despite being the least talked about Orient goal in history, Odubajo's volley in the play-off final was great.

Your hatred for Man Utd goes back to the days when their star striker was bullied by Arsenal players at the end of a game?

Re: New kits revealed at 4pm

Brilliant gesture, although I'm surprised we can make such a mess of the home kit when the other 2 designs are quite decent.

Also looks like it's a sticker badge again? Judging from the way Kane is holding the braces kit

Re: Northampton stewards

Looked like the issue at the start of the game was with fans standing on the stairs instead of finding a seat. I was right behind the goal and there were several seats available, so it all seemed a bit odd to argue with stewards over. Maybe there was something I missed? The steward chasing the fan a...

Re: Second Cheltenham sending off

Missed both red cards somehow, and I hadn't even left my seat! Maybe it's the angle the ref holds the cards from the south stand. Asked around me and we were all confused, so we were counting the Cheltenham players to work it out

Re: Angol ill

Very strange the photo was taken without him. Wasn't there talk of him having an attitude problem at previous clubs? Maybe he just didn't turn up ... or, of course, maybe he is actually ill

Re: Change of Badge

Nothing beats the badge when it's actually a solid part of the kit, but this option with the white background is much nicer than having a sticker like in recent years.

Re: Still annoyed

It was a great achievement, definitely. As a season, it has been a success. I just don't think we've been decent for a while now, with my original point being that our last 2 games have had a trophy on the line, and both times we played terribly and couldn't even score.

Re: Still annoyed

Have a word mate. We turned up when it mattered, Wrexham both games, Solihull both games, Fylde both league games, Salford away, Harrogate both games.

Re: Pitch Invasion Saturday

I went on the pitch for about 10 minutes and then went back to my seat, looking forward to watching the team lift the trophy. Not sure why a couple of hundred fans thought this moment was too huge to be anymore than 10 feet away from. It's selfish from them, if not a little pathetic, but the club re...
