1) police football officers , wearing high viz tabards with blue shoulders, normally located not too far away from a coffee bar?

2) of course !?

3) yes it is this season 

And are you also able to confirm that both local clubs are fully up to date with payments for policing and neither team has outstanding invoices?

Unfortunately I don’t deal with that side of football policing 

freedom of information request would be appropriate to get answers regarding questions around finance as I don’t get involved in that side of things thank god !!

My Mums one of them, and I live next to the Valley so off to the game today. In the away stand so I’ve had to change my phone case and phone screen so it’s not the City badge....

Least my neighbours will be happy at 5 o’clock today.

Not a single Gashead in my family, ever.  It must be the genes - we were certainly all born with 5 fingers on each hand.

I stand to be corrected but thought Gasheads, like Mules, were all Jaffas......

Another lesser known similarity is neither are able to see a thing staring them directly in the face.....

You were lucky to get a ticket as I presume the away end is sold out as usual.

Overall a pretty funny afternoon. No one of any class for the G*s, and Charlton never really left 3rd gear. 

Some awful defending for all 3 goals, one positive for R*vers is that none of their players told any fans to **** off today.....

How was Karlan Grant for Charlton?

Saw he got an assist for their second. He's a really good prospect.

Really pacy, got behind their defence a few times. Need to improve his touch but only 20. All depends on his attitude but could go far.

If we do unearth another decent goalscorer, rest assured we will be selling him at the first opportunity.

Depends what you mean by 'anything decent'. Are you into camping? We may have overstocked on some equipment lately.

That bloke must have no scruples at all or he's being handsomely rewarded.

I know the majority of the fewers are half wits but it would take even the thickest of witless irene tupping half breed to believe he's talking anything but a load of henbury.

He's just the frontman, who gets thrown under the bus by owners when they want a mouthpiece to address the unsettled fanbase, or deliver bad news (UWE stadium cancelled).  Not sure that he knows much more than the fans to be honest. 

He gets paid £70k per annum - I'd do it for £50k if they asked nicely.

£70k? That really doesn't sound much for a chairman.

I'd say that's 50k too much for your ******* shower. I'd do the job for 20k and I've already got some soundbites prepared:

"We've taken advantage of the Black Friday sale at Go! So expect to see more fan accomodation soon."

"We've been scouring the markets for talent that we can afford. Unfortunately despite attending various farmers markets there appears to be a dearth of local talent willing to give up their giro for the privilege of playing for us."

"Wael is constantly looking for new opportunities but eBay is proving a difficult place to offload a white elephant."

"We hope to have news on a new stadium soon. As soon as we can figure a way of stealing one you can expect news on that front."

"Our fanbase is huge. Our potential fanbase is massive. It encompasses the whole of the South of England. We have the potential to have 3/4 of a million fans in our new stadium with a further half a million locked out. There's no other club that could or would say that."

"Everybody loves the r*verz, innit."

"We are the premier club in South Gloucester."

"Nicholls is a proven goal scorer at this level, evidenced by the fact that he has scored a goal at this level and is likely to score another at some point."

I've got loads more but I'll save them for the 1st presser I do. Bargain I'd say at 20k.

The Chairman role is usually a part time role, couple of days a week maybe, so £70k is pretty good.

I'd have thought both he and the CEO are actually very busy owing to the apparently remote owners with their tight purse strings (so regular cost and payment schedule negotiation with supplier to stay within cashflow budgets) and requirement for endless updated reports on ground improvements, new ground, training ground.

If the story of the training ground improvements is correct (sky high spec, £3m budget, cost estimates £11m, no attempt to bridge that gap just drop hands), and the lack of progress suggests so, then it's going to also be a fairly thankless job.

I've worked in a situation where the Board was such that you knew you were wasting your time in bringing new projects to them yet they still demanded they be brought.  It was like a silly parlour game.

I can't remember us ever taking less than 1000 to a Saturday London away Game. But of course, they are the better fans.

We took 699 to Charlton on a Saturday back in 2013, when we were already relegated and playing absolutely dire football under O’Driscoll. 

Bar that, I can’t remember any other time...

Eh? It is still November - are the gas ‘already relegated’ then? Are you a Swindon fan? They believe titles, relegations and promotions are decided pre-Xmas....

I was just writing them off. Jokingly..!

Rumours claiming the new big screen due to be installed at the Memorial Stadium is now for sale on E Bay.  

Which I presume is near Sand Bay ?

Bert, didn't you used to take your R*Vers team pre season training at Sand Bay?

Or was it Uphill?

Sunday lunchtime if I remember correctly and yes we were already relegated, in fact it was the last game of a ******* shit season.

Correction: it was a Saturday.

We started at Uphill but by 1961 were going rapidly Downhill

 

Quarters looking a bit shabby lately Bert.  Maybe time for a change?

Do you still have the stripes up in the loft?  You remember, they were what you were using before the blue shirts.

In fairness. Charlton is a bastard to get to. And seeing they are proper shit . That is a good effort. 

Woah woah woah. As someone who lives in Charlton its not that hard to get too! 

Either one train from Charring Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge, Cannon Street. Or get the tube to North Greenwich (next stop after Canary Wharf) and then it’s 1 bus (486).

Isn`t all public transport suspended for the visit of the g*s though for fear of being overwhelmed by the unprecedented number of away fans?

Close, it’s Sags only, Heathrow, Gatwick, London Underground, and Buses all reserved for them, no one minds though as it’s them the worlds most loved club.

Gas legend Dean Windass I'd imagine!

I still can’t believe how desperately sad it was that he was invited to be a guest speaker at their Christmas do the other year. 

Yeah I know we sent Colin Daniel a bottle of Champagne, big deal...His goal rid the League of that haemorrhoid of a Football Club. 

Windass would never say it publicly and I expect at the time he only cared about the money he was getting for being touched by Sags for an evening but somewhere in his mind he must have thought “sad bastards, when was the last time you were in a Championship Play Off Final?”

I thought it was normally extra security employed at local car parks to prevent the hordes locked out congregating?

That was the first thing that jumped out at me, well, that and the fondness for ampersands.

With a poster of that quality, you have to assume that the person who made it will be redesigning our club badge.

I don't mind what we have for a club badge as long as it has hash tags and ampersands.

No dress code??

Won't they all just turn up in Carbrini Tracksuits bottoms and Lonsdale slip on's...?

I believe it's so their current resident tramp and legend will feel comfortable in his everyday clothes, having to spruce up after being shoved into freezing sheep dip this time of year can' t be a pleasant experience I would imagine, also if some of his Special Brew oppos want to attend they won't stick out like a sore thumb.

Heard whispers of a new feature film release Irene Does Ilford is also to be premiered that night due to their link up with Babe Station.

Cheese and biscuit were going to be provided but because of on going cut backs within the club it is now advised to bring your own cheese.
