Whatever happened to Baz?

"The EFL confirmed that a hearing date has been set" When? Is the date 'secret'?

Remember going up there to see us play in a friendly, and being served a ‘Loyalist Burger’ in the concourse

As a season ticket holder, I support the decision by the Trust to fully boycott the 'Boro game and, much as it stings, will not be going. But I would also like to hear something from the Trust regarding direct media-friendly action towards the EFL and the incoming Football Regulator. Basing protesting solely on home games is ok, but will only go so far, especially with an absentee owner. A mass demo outside the office of the new FR, with MP's in attendance, blue flares, megaphone, and tv, radio etc in attendance would surely be appropriate?

Purely looking at numbers, and bearing in mind that nobody would want to see anything remotely resembling violent resistance, particularly towards stewards etc, I'd say you'd want a ratio of 10:1, fans:stewards/police. So if, hypothetically, there were 50 stewards on the 3 sides of the home stands, minimum 500. Plus, it would have to mostly originate in the Kop and North Stands, as I doubt anyone in the South is capable of going anywhere in a hurry.

Scrubbers vs West Brom?

Just checked online, showing as ‘Sold Out’.

Anyone know when they’re back on sale again?

Thanks for that. Very helpful. Do come again next week.

Did it from Hunter’s Bar once, via Broomhill, Crookes & Walkley. Won’t be repeating that again!

Wait until we're bottom and adrift in January, and Despot announces he's pleased with season ticket sales. Oh, and he's selling another couple of players...

It would only take a few hundred to get a match abandoned. Then watch the EFL meltdown…

Whilst I mostly agree with the gloomy prognosis, it’s worth bearing in mind our almost complete lack of a pre-season. An interview with Slot regarding Isak had him saying that Isaks lack of a pre-season had him 6 weeks behind the pace at the moment, and so he would have to be eased in gradually. Our entire squad is weeks behind where we should be conditioning-wise. Things will get a bit better, although probably not enough to keep us from going down.

It would have to be carefully orchestrated. If a steward grabs anyone, then don’t resist etc.
