An idea for the Club Shop - the Dale Fascinator*
Might become an item worn by Dale Yoof?
*Aware our ladies wouldn't be seen dead wearing the same one as anyone else |

Thanks 14bowlers
The request submitted to the Trust to hold a meeting had sufficient numbers and the meeting is scheduled for 11am next Saturday, 19 July. There's a Family Fun day and a pre-season friendly on the day so it's hoped as many members as possible can attend to put their views forward
It's important to note we all want the very best for how the Trust can continue to meet the requirements of independent representation, given the new, positive and exciting era with the Ogdens but also in view of how the new Club Advisory Board (of which the Trust is part) can operate to best effect
Feel free to PM me with your full name if you wish, which can be added to the existing list should the Trust ask for further confirmation prior to the meeting [Post edited 14 Jul 12:29]

They should be starting to think they need to up their game
Gilmour did well, but East faded |

Sensible batting by Root and Pope, just 70 runs scored in the afternoon session but laying foundations for a decent score
Apparently, Geoff Boycott watching in the stands was seen to smile every time Root took a quick single to get him off strike against Bumrah |

Could be a "make or break" fixture
Happy with the list, including around holiday times |

Although SC sales seem to be holding up reasonably well, many others will be "waiting and seeing" and with good reason
Signings, on the pitch and additions off the pitch look good but the debacles witnessed at the sharp end of last season are too fresh in the memory, and i'm afraid any attempts to cajole otherwise will rightly fall on deaf ears, deafened by the sound of opposition fans celebrating in the Willbutts
Everyone will make their own minds up and if the team start to perform more consistently, and fans who didn't buy a SC buy tickets for most matches, it'll be more money coming into the club. Let's stop the cajoling, it's unnecessary [Post edited 8 Jul 9:42]

Gibbins will not be missed
BBM has done us a favour (without realising) by taking him off our hands, which has opened up the opportunity of a refresh |

He was once dropped by England after scoring 246no... for scoring too slowly |

Given the Zimbabwean response (currently 88-6) he would've been justified in batting on, on the grounds of only having to bat once, which seems likely anyway
Or perhaps, he'd have felt guilty about taking the record against a nation that's barely at the level of test match cricket |

It was inevitable that the era of "possession-based" football would eventually come to an end, as all styles are found out and ways of countering them introduced, ushering in a new approach
Those who've trotted out the "this is football as it's played now, get used to it" mantra failed to take this into account. Some of us have seen these fashions come and go before
The danger for newish coaches, who've only ever been "educated" in the one way of doing things is they'll be left behind unless they can adapt quickly enough. Even Pep himself seems to have acknowledged this
My take on the summer signings is that JM is recognising it too, but that's me being optimistic. The bigger question is: when you've spent three years pushing a system into a squad that still retains many players whose press releases on signing included "we're signing because we believe in the way the manager wants us to play" how much can you really change? The signing-on quotes should always be taken with a pinch of salt of course, and we've heard similar this summer too
As ever: let's wait and see |

"Right lads, just pass them amongst yourselves for a bit before handing one to a player"
But seriously, amidst the natural optimism that fans have during every close season, especially where incoming players promise better prospects, i think we should wait and see how that translates into performances. It will require a change of mindset and much greater sense of urgency and game management than we've seen
Nothing would compound how we fell short last season more than other teams exploiting the multi-ball system than us not doing [Post edited 6 Jul 6:56]
