Why? It’s that thing the ref gave you for a blatant dive the other week.

Because we were denied a stonewall pen against Exeter, which Denzel doesn’t believe would have influenced the game.

We’ve gone round in circles over it, so the jest was about his not knowing what a penalty was.

If there are any further clarifications or jokes you feel need explaining, please do let me know. PS, not everything is about Orient.

I just love winding you up about it.
I'll stop going on about it now, and the ones we've been denied, and the ones Wycombe have got..

That Wycombe one was 100% a pen. Most of your forum agreed too

Do shrewsbury have undersoil heating , if not any chance Saturdays game will be played

 

[AdamStag]

I’m increasingly confident mansfield and wigan won’t make it in the cup

-7 tonight, -5 tomorrow and getting upto 1 during the days.

Also dropping back down to freezing around the time it kicks off.

 

[Conker]

Be a hard call I imagine, think frost covers protect up to -3?

No under soil heating but frost covers. There been on all week and work down to a certain temperature. Tomorrow isn't supposed to get above freezing in town, only going above freezing Saturday morning. The problem area is usually the goalmouth at the home end that never gets any sun this time of year.

The frost covers are usually pretty good, but it really depends on tomorrow.

Further to my previous reply, this was the latest from Twitter / "X" from the club about 20 minutes ago

"We are closely monitoring the Croud Meadow pitch ahead of this weekend's clash with HTAFC.

The covers have been on since Tuesday morning and preparations are continuing as normal.

Further updates will be provided when possible."

Cheers , any advice on decent parking spots near ground

It’ll be a shame if the Mansfield and Wigan game is off given it’s been move for “tv abroad” i should imagine the international audience will be distraught if it doesn’t make it.

No they didn't. Hit their players hand first..

(Not to mention the bizarre disallowed goal and the lack of bookings of any Wycombe player that day..)

There's not much in the way of on street parking nearby, lots of resident oly schemes in place. The retail parks also have ANPR cameras and have a limit of 90 minutes on match days.

Brooklands Pub and Pritchards Van Hire are both just off the Meole Brace roundabout by the BP Garage and both charge. Pritchards definetly £5, the pub can fluctuate between £5 and £10, but is only over the road. It's usually the away pub but not sure if it is open again after the floods in November. Was due to open this month. Meole Brace Park and Ride also charge £5. All 3 are about 5-10 minutes walk to the ground.

Could chance a bit further down into Belle Vue, but the roads are tight and further to walk.

Thought Meole Brace was free parking? Does it change on match days? Think it's a bit more than 5 to 10 minutes though.

Right back at ya. I haven’t even seen it

The park and ride site at Meole Brace used to do free parking. Now charge on a match day as its part of the official travel plan. It is probably closer to 10 minutes, unless you cut through the back of the retail park.

If I drive is usually park at Brooklands but haven't for a while. Normally walk up through town.
