  1. I am a Blade. I just don't do the emotional links with the past that cloud judgement. We need a new owner, and a completely fresh start with new energy and thoughts.
  2. CW came back because he wanted/ needed a job and had obviously been working behind the scenes to make it happen. The prince wanted him back as he wanted/ needed a lift with the fan base. If it were any other manager with the recent record of CW, we wouldn't have wanted him as supporters. Simply - a marriage of convenience. His interviews are already becoming more difficult to watch, as happened last time. Sorry Blades, but I don't see this working out well and really hope that a much hoped for new owner starts a completely new chapter for us.
  3. The 2007 floods were the worst since the Dale Dyke flood in 1864. 2007 was described as a 1 in 150 year weather event. 16 years later, here we are again. We are surrounded by hills with a number of rivers that were developed by water run off historically. That doesn't change. It is about climate change and the fact that, no matter what interventions we put in place, the volume of water being deposited in very short periods of time is increasing and we can' build another major river to help it run off. Deny it all you like. There are thousands of home and business owners who deserve a little more respect, never mind the ones who will be affected in future.
  4. Hi there. Take a breath, and put 7pm Monday night in your list of things to do, and just come along. You're guaranteed a warm welcome, will get looked after, and you don't have to talk, just watch it happen if you like and see if it's for you. If you need any more info, feel free to send me a DM. Please don't overthink it.
  5. Cracking venue! Had a day there last week. Fished the bank in front of the cafe, and only a couple of rod lengths out. Old school, float at 10-12 feet deep fishing nice and steadily on the drop mostly, the on the bottom too. Caught right from the off, all silver fish with some bream to a couple of pounds, and fished close in, in the last hour catching plenty of perch. A well looked after venue, £5 for the day, fish in great condition and free parking. Definitely going back. Tight lines folks.
  6. Chapter One coffee and cakes. Next to PA Jewellery. Easy to find. Enjoy, you can even Google boundary changes, post codes and geographic pedantry whilst enjoying a visit. Have a good day, always better with good coffee.
  7. Opened by the folk who have the coffee van in Weston Park, and now opened a new café on Barber Road in Crookes, next to P.A. Jewellery. Lovely people running it, great food and drinks and excellent cakes! Well worth a visit!
  8. Went up to the Flask for a couple of hours last night. No one else fishing on a beautiful summer evening. Set up in the middle of the bay, just below the gate from the road, after clambering down the rocks as the water is quite low right now. Simple wag and mag set up, first put in was a perch, as it was the very first time I fished there over 45 years ago. A good few hand sized and above roach and a couple of skimmers followed to keep it interesting. Had to change depth a couple of times to keep them coming, but all the fish were in top condition and most never seen a hook before. Fish topping all over the reservoir as the sun went down. Think I'll try the plantation next time out. Worth a visit folks, if you get chance.
  9. Haven't been up there for a good while. Anyone fished it recently - how's it doing these days. Thanks folks
  10. No, they're really not. It's an event that makes many thousands of pounds for charity, every year. People commit to it to help others, and improve their fitness and mental health. It's a few hours, once a year.
  11. Once it's inside a football ground, it's a football ground issue. 'Modern phenomenon' or not, it's pathetic.
  12. No one can say there haven't been enough warnings given at the Lane. Finally, the self entitled 'we'll do what we want' attitude of the teenage 'wannabee's' and the older end who should know better has been challenged. Personally, it got boring watching grown blokes shuffle into the cubicles together, looking round furtively, sniffing deeply, and coming out giggling like kids. The standing issue is down to folk not using the seats they are allocated and standing in groups in the rows, causing difficulty and danger to others while they perform for instagram or any other chosen social media so they can show how excited/ giddy/ rock hard they are. Maybe, just maybe , the flares and beer chucking on away concourses wasn't actually such a good idea, after all. Why is it that the actions of a small minority have repercussions for the vast majority of folk who simply want to go to a game, watch the match and sing when they want? Those responsible know full well who they are, and no amount of deflecting it onto the council, Police, SAG, SGSA will wash. Thanks very much folks - this is on you! Own it.
  13. Mate ... if you need to talk - Andy's man club is here for you. Lots of us have been where you are. Take care mate
