General Tuesdays big announcements

[holdsteady]

What will today bring? Training camp in Skegness? Pre season match against Thame? The long awaited reveal of the third kit left sock? Liam Kelly signing a three year deal as a mascot?

 

[Essexyellows]

What will today bring? ......Liam Kelly signing a three year deal as a mascot?

I wouldn't advise that. I tried with him on the old Bentley but there are 2 critical problems: first, at speeds above 75 he starts to get very floaty and by 85 he's stuck on the windscreen - we tried to alleviate this by having him wear a pair of Captain Haddock's old sea boots, this was fairly effectively with the floating but scratched the bonnet, second, he squealed like a little girl whenever I approached a roundabout which was simply unacceptable.

There was no milk for my cornflakes

 

[Paul Cannell]

I have standards, your reverence. Perhaps Karl can convert him into another purely ornamental full-back?

[ZeroTheHero]

Those socks aren't going to put themselves on the displays you know...

 

[Marked Ox]

I'm hoping they switch it up and start the kit reveal with the keeper's shorts for a laugh.

Just what I need to wake me up, Jack's bulge in pink shorts right in my face!

Still, it'll give @RyanioBirdio a bit of a tingle.

U's play Peterboro' twice the same day in a behind closed doors double friendly ....

[Cass63]

That’s today’s announcement done and dusted then, on to tomorrow.

 

[holdsteady]

I reckon the club are going to do the most mundane announcements all week now just to wind people up.

Well it is innovative and a change from the 3 friendlies in 3 days approach.

Dat sounds mad. At least it implies we will have 22 players and more than one full back, though.

U23s, U21s & U18s will form part of those two squads - ( both of 18-20 players)- I'd've thought?

Sorry, Mr. Cannell, but I'm having a hard time understanding why you think that it's unacceptable to approach a roundabout. Could you explain your obvious antipathy to roundabouts?

You’re missing the point. It’s the things he doesn’t scream about that make him so effective.

 

[Oxford57]

Why concentrate on the negatives Mr C? Presumably at speeds of under 75 mph Liam performs perfectly adequately, apart from the roundabout squealing, obviously.

Anyway, the REAL big news will be hot water in selected basins in selected toilet blocks at half time.

But there will be 1 basin in 1 toilet block. The secret location will be only given to those who are A) in the know
B) firm believer in we are going to have a new stadium which will be full every home game irrespective of what the standard of football is like
C) entitled to any form of snack item
Everyone one else will be able to have the bracing cold water deluge followed by the hand dryer which is incapable of producing any form of warmth

2 friendlies with Posh on the SAME day July 27th 5:45 and 8pm Kick Offs

 

[gingerox]

I like the sound of it, shame its behind closed doors

 

[Marked Ox]

Looking at providing a stream for the games.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

"Mutual respect between the two clubs" Lol!
I thought we were cowardly back-stabbers?

Behind closed doors? Best place for friendlies, they are hardly exciting

Are they still on their Revenge Tour?

Surely, as your Bentley is undoubtedly a vintage model and it won't have a parking sensor at the back, a better use would be to tie him to the back bumper and use his high pitched shrieks of terror as the wall approaches as a fine and effective substitute. That out-of-the-box, blue-skies thinking shows why I am a great loss to the world of management consultancy - I have turned someone's weakness into a positive asset.

Now, where has that application form for the Fan's Council got to? ...

Oh don't worry, we've got your number! You'll be co-opted before you can say what about the toilets?

 

[Oxford1996]

Believe we also playing Sheffield United behind closed doors on a 4 day training camp.
