  1. I didn't but I think in the commentary they said the pitch was looking good for near end of season.
  2. Sure you can and most Wednesday fans will sign it 👍
  3. Can't disagree with most of that apart from the made up playoffs part. We all know the squad will need work if we stay up. Disappointing to lose by such a margin but most fans expected nothing from the last two games, now there's 8 cup finals coming up.
  4. Well that was dreadful. I don't get why he changed to four at back against these, we all know the quality in their team. Carved us open at will it seemed with very little chance of us creating anything. On a plus side the teams around us didn't really pick up many points and after these two tough games we are still well in the mix. Two weeks now to work on things, need a better showing than today to stay up though.
  5. While everyone will agree the stand does need flattening I agree with the fencing statement, the death toll would of been far less. They were as much to blame as the design of the stand. I'm not sure it will ever be replaced in my lifetime though.
  6. I won't be paying too much attention to the tables until the next two games are done. Hopefully we can get a couple of points at least but I'd expect no points so hopefully the teams around us lose abit of form.
  7. Lack of buses it should. No doubt there will be other issues but it's an unknown so hopefully it all works out and any issues are minor. I think there has to be two diesel buses on standby aswell so they are purely relying on everything being great with them.
  8. The buses you see on the connects or in town in general are compliant. What I'm saying is if one breaks there isn't a guarantee they'd have another compliant bus to replace it. Most of the buses on the market to buy that are small enough aren't compliant vehicles, so not easy to replace broken down vehicles. The contract was awarded 3 years ago, CAZ has been in operation for a year. I'm not sure how long before the contract was awarded a clean air zone was being talked about or even decided so it's not like that was an issue originally. We'll see how the electric buses change things, either for the better or worse
  9. No game is impossible but the next two are definitely tough games. I won't be paying too much attention to the table until we get this and Ipswich out of the way.
  10. Around 7 years old I believe. I'm not saying they don't have any compliant vehicles but the fleet of vehicles they do have don't compare to the numbers of First and Stagecoach, so chopping and changing isn't as simple aswell as getting hold of suitable, compliant vehicles is very difficult at the minute. Once the electric vehicles come in I expect the service shouldn't have as many issues unless the new buses aren't as good as hoped, we'll see.
  11. Fairly easily. Only takes around 15 minutes to get round the route. Keeping to time isn't such an issue, more lack of buses. You can't really compare First and Stagecoach, both are multi million pound operators. SCPT are a non profit organisation that only run minibuses mainly. They don't have loads of buses to move about to comply with CAZ like them and there is a lack of compliant vehicles available that are suitable for the routes they run.
  12. Currently there is 2 vehicles on the route. I don't know how accurate it is that there will be 4 vehicles but that's what I've heard. If it's true about the 4 vehicles then maintaining it shouldn't be such an issue. It's not a shortage of drivers it's the lack of CAZ compliant vehicles available that causes the problems. Without the clean air zone operator could get hold of vehicles much easier, now it's a struggle to get hold of them as everyone wants them.
  13. Fair enough, I've not had a proper read of what's been proposed it just seemed going on comments here that's what was being proposed at some point. I expect franchising to happen here at some point in whatever way it's implemented though.
  14. Yes the route shouldn't change too much other than near the city hall might have to change slightly I think but talk of a second 20 minute route going somewhere aswell as a bus running the opposite way to the current route (very unlikely though). I'll wait and see regarding the franchise stuff but yea sounds odd with the depots if they re-allocate routes. I wouldn't trust the council to get it right anyway, that's if there is a right way to do it.
  15. That seems to be the case although details on how the route will be operating aren't easy to find out, I'm only going on bits I've heard but can't be sure how accurate they are. I wouldn't have a clue on how long they expect a battery to last. As for franchising i don't see how the council can afford to buy all the buses needed if that's the plan. I always expected them to decide routes etc but bus operators still use their own fleet.
