RE: Match Thread - Fulham - Jacko The Flopsy Piglet - 10-01-2016
Tend to agree with Consilio about Lopez. Yet to see him have a solid 90 minutes, he does some good things but plenty of bad things too.
I'd been talking to my mates before the match yesterday about the Committee and wondered whether the Lachman deal had soured the relationships a bit. Wonder if th McGugan deal is another that Carlos wasn't convinced about but got overruled. Good to see the chairman takes action when he sees issues arising and doesn't let things drag on that aren't working.
Also glad to see he's still passionate about getting us up and doing up at the stadium. It's actually been enjoyable watching Wednesday this season and the more the ground improves the better it will be. As long as the football continues to improve with it!
PS can't see any ratings / comments from MS. Hope he was able to go and he's feeling as well as possible.

I have had a bad 48 hours with the effects of chemotherapy so was unable to go to the match yesterday. Feeling a touch better today so still hopeful I can make it on Tuesday v Bolton.

Sorry to hear that, MS. I did wonder if it was something like that. Hope you get to the game on Tuesday. You missed a disjointed performance yesterday, albeit a winning one. I thought Fulham played very well for most of the game and will feel a bit hard done by with the result. However, I think they'll climb the table soon under their new manager and I'm glad we won't be playing them later in the season when they improve.

Also sorry to learn of your setback, MS. Keep battling away. Never give up. You're a Wednesdayite. cheers mate.

The Leppings Lane end needs sorting a.s.a.p. as its an eyesore. I would have personally leveled it a year or two after the disaster. That end is a constant mill stone and reminder; for the club to move forward the stand needs to go. Fed up of seeing it every year when reporters stand outside for the annual '96 'memory jog and ritual police bashing by The Pity City.
I think we couldnt level it due to the f-cuking inquiry that still goes on although i agree !! back to the ground and the capacity 45k is something that we will struggle to fill if the prices are not made more accessable to the masses ? sure lets say when we get there and the first season goes well it will fill !! but give us sometime and well get bored of playing Manutd like we did before and the fans will get bored of paying a f-ucking fortune !!
Something needs doing quickly because quite frankly its becoming embarrassing when the blades are getting near enough round the same gates as us ?
Our Thoughts are with you Ms !!!

Chansiri can see that we have a potential fan base of 40k
It's up to him to bring back the missing thousands and convince them that paying £30+ is a good Saturday afternoon out.
You didn't miss much yesterday Steve. Hope you can make it on Tuesday. WAWAW

"Yeah I rang streamUK at half time and they told me that they had experienced network problems for other clubs too today and I have retweeted some of the clubs I saw having problems on my Twitter timeline rob_phoenixmp
Unfortunately today the feed in the first half was working for some people and not others. I actually recorded the entire commentary at home and didn't have one drop out.
It sounds like a capacity server loading error or something.
StreamUK should apologise but bet they don't."
I do think he is doing as much as he can do but it is the Football League who decide where the contract goes and what format it is delivered in so until we get in the prem we cannot do anything on our own.
Seems Everton and Sunderland had the same issue as us, so being in the Prem may not even guarantee better service if they use the same company to provide the service!!
I expected it to be something along these lines. It's generally lack of investment in infrastructure of anything. How many plugs can we stick into this socket before it finally blows?
Whomever we're contracted to seems to have pushed a tidy policy through tying us and many other clubs to their piss poor service for 'X' amount for years without recourse.
This is neither the clubs fault nor the guys at WW, it's always the higher ups. Though I do wonder what our options were to refuse this contract.
As I said yesterday I stopped paying out of principle, the way I see it by continuing to pay these people for a deliberately capped/un-invested service is giving them the thumbs up to continue. Enabling degenerate behaviour essentially
If everyone across the country (and abroad especially) dropped their shitty subscriptions you'll see a semblance of action, but not before.
On a more positive note, in response to Consilio's information. that's great to hear. I recall reading last year we were rebuilding the players Gym? turning it into a two floor Gymnasium with new equipment!
I'm not a firm believer in fancy bells & whistles. But, I do believe the modern buildings and equipment will play a part in building the players pre-match mentalities.
RE: Match Thread - Fulham - Imre varadi - 10-01-2016
The defence Looked shocking again yesterday and we could have easily have lost that game 2-4 against a better team than Fulham , wake up call going into the Bolton game , they will come and park the bus and hope for chances like that and if they get one before us ? we will struggle to take 3 points .
The sooner hunt lees and westwood are back the better !!
RE: Match Thread - Fulham - St Charles Owl - 10-01-2016
The more I hear of DC, the more I like him. When he came on board and we found out he wasn't a football fan but had bought the club after his 9 year old son badgered him to, I have to admit that concerned me. But it appears that he is running us as a business and making sound commercial decision in the best interests of the club.
Redevelopment of Hillsborough is long overdue, especially the away end and it's very good to hear he intends to do something about that. Personally I wouldn't wait until we are in the prem to do the away end, I would do it now before we get there so that we are ready for the prem.
RE: Match Thread - Fulham - Imre varadi - 10-01-2016
Yep for what its worth we should start now
because we wont be having many big crowds unless the Facup draw goes well 
and put the 7 fans that will be coming in the future in the crows nest on the corner and just ban the leeds fans altogether
