    Around the Grounds

    Didn't end well in F1 with Haas, didn't end well in British Superbike with OMG Yamaha. Not so long ago I seem to believe he was in for Coventry

    Sky soccer saturday. Simon Thomas

    I've often wondered if it was a sky thing as we were the darling of BT in the non league year, and they didn't show the FA Cup run. If you've ever watched the Checkatrade coverage from Wembley it seemed so Shrewsbury biased from the off to the point that the presenter was almost gutted we won...

    Managerial merry go round

    You've gotta love Dale Vince. Announces launching a "green" airline that initially runs on kerosene. Not sure what his Just Stop Oil mates will make of that! https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/17/green-energy-tycoon-to-launch-uk-first-electric-airline

    Toffolo Betting Breaches

    I think the hypocrisy lies in that they'll nail a player for potentially fraudulently making a few bob but allow clubs who year upon year commit financial misdemeanors of varying types and levels to carry on with a "naughty naughty don't do it again (unless my backs turned)" stance.

    Probably more endemic than we imagine (unfortunately)

    Wigan

    Clubs such as Wigan have done as bad as/far worse than Luton financially yet they remain the only ones to have been really hammered (-30 points). Its the lack of consistency that always gets me. Its as if they're scared of some clubs.

    I hope it is just a birthday message as only a few weeks ago they wished Thommo a happy birthday!

    Cowleys sacked

    Still think they inadvertently contributed to their own downfall by keeping Huddersfield up. Can't imagine Corberan would have accepted if they were in Div 1 next season nor would many Johnny Foreigners want to sign (as appears to be part of the new recruitment policy). See they are quoted as...

    Along with Grant Smith, Adi Yussuf, and Tom Champion in the Borehamwood 20. See Halifax have Dale Southwell in their squad

    Expectations/Target for Next Season

    Mid table to just outside the playoffs and a better indication of a MApp team. Would take that for a couple of years to be honest. Championship would be a poisoned chalice at the moment.

    Cowley or Appleton

    I'll always be grateful for what DC/NC did. Would MA have got us out the National league? maybe not. However, if all the press is to be believed, DC/NC would have spent a lot of money this season on a squad that would now be sitting at home on a larger wage bill I suspect than the current squad...

    Sights, sounds, smells

    Probably as a nipper, sights would be the fair when it was a proper one on the common, or the old carnival when all the floats used to set off from the Sth Common down the high street. Smell would be when we were on holiday at Chapel St Leonards and there was the communal washing/showerblocks on...

    The great Rustons testimonial mystery?

    I think they did it a couple of years on the trot as I remember Reaney or Madeley there also. Think it was part of the ruston gas turbines family day or similar.

    Lost Stadiums: Your Favourite(s)/Least Favourite(s)?

    Underhill (Barnet) - just seemed to epitomise non league at the time. Millmoor (Rotherham) - to get to the away end you went down an alley at the side and were just a sitting target for missiles and abuse.

    DC first presser (htfc) live

    And listening to that its lock stock & barrel. Talking about wives already looking at schools over there etc. Probably would have been worse if they had still been seen in town or Burton Waters. Interesting to see how the tie in with Minster School goes forward now.
