Same as kissing the badge on a football shirt. All it means is that they can coordinate their hand and lips into a single action. Give them a better deal elsewhere and they'll be kissing a new badge before you can say Ron Micklethwaite.

It's all she said, he said and a bit boring now though. We only need to bother about where we go from here and forget (or at least not keep trying to make sense of it) about events around this time last year. Chapman said in Aug: "We have made mistakes along the way but they are honest mistakes and we will try to learn from them" - so after a dogs dinner of a season lets hope that statement is correct, as it is when Johnson says "No-one wants to finish bottom of the table and, as I promised the fans at the end of our final home meeting against Wolverhampton, we’ll be doing all we can to get into the play-offs next year."

Easier just to re-register and I'll approve

Back up and running Rodders.

Beware mentalists with 2 posts Rodders

With. I wish no harm to Rodders but we're both like a dog with a bone when we're not happy about something

Rodders, you're begining to sound like a bungee jump.

Must stop lateral thinking

Certainly is if he gets out of the gate but misses it with alarming regularity. Get that sorted and worth another punt but look elsewhere if that's a permanent fault.

Don't we all, but rather infrequently. Especially in the summer.

I didn't even remember that it was on, just saw some Twitter post I glossed over. Did anything interesting happen

I always make excuse for Taps, all year round.

You've done it now Dick! Flappy with his team a day and Taps posting while under the influence of whatever noxious substance the local shop has in that day. Jeez, roll on March, assuming the correct decision was discussed last week.

Can you understand a Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel please said in Danish? Good effort!

Never heard that one but imagine that Mr Greer and co would have looked at anything that might have worked.

Thought that I read somewhere that we looked at that location (think that there was a moto ball fixture there with the likes of R.Greer participating) when we first started but there were noise issues then so we ended up at the EoES. Shame that Mick Horton's Fengate motorsports complex (remember the ET splash and plans) never got off the ground, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Travel firms use it every school break and hotels close to any event use it etc etc, people gripe but pay it so it's par for the course.

In what way is that encouraging Rodders? I'll give it 2 seasons before it starts to turn into a building site and we have to hope that we're still running and the promise of alternative arrangements are honoured, but surely if there were other options around then we'd have left the EoES years ago anyway. Does that mean we'll have to find a new piece of land and start from scratch? Can't recall that working out too well anywhere else. We can only hope that things don't progress as smoothly and quickly as that plan indicates. As you say though, when developers are involved, hit the panic button.

As usual Rodders, for those of us who don't see the rag you're missing the vital detail.

I missed that. Sounds quite positive. Without having any idea he would have stopped at "which league" so fingers crossed

Hopefully not closed down Rodders but just resting like the Norwegian Blue.

Paper never refuses ink. Chapman already made his and the club's position clear in August so unless something is confirmed externally and officially around that then I wouldn't take too much note of anything else.

Mork calling Hodgy, are you there Hodgy! Having said that, wasn't the parking charge started when Bratters and Horton were in post to cover the club's SRBF contribution? One wonders if that's where it ended up then or where it ends up these days? I'm sure Bratters will correct me if I'm wrong

It was an end to a means though wasn't it? So his job is done. Johnson has always been the one paid (well perhaps not?) to do all of the work and take all of the blame (or at least be the public face) as was once famously said of a previous TM, so that's all very much in keeping. Interesting that Rodders says that Watson and Rathbone were there. It may be that they were there just out of interest but I'd be more inclined to think that that indicates the direction of travel?
