Reply | The Summer of ‘24 - ins, outs and maybes

You can see the strategy behind all of our signings. To sign boys that have had success in Essex before, that maybe have roots in Essex and the local area, is so important. Some that we've worked with before.
I agree with this quote. We have in the past signed and then released players whose family lived some way away, or who couldn't settle, or even afford to live in the area
In an earlier career I worked for an organisation that offered great support to newly qualified staff. We supported them then they buggered off. So we trained up our long serving support staff, and stopped recruiting from afar. |

Who would invest £350 in a play for which we don't know the cast, the subject, or the script ? That's why we are supporters, irrespective of what turns up each Saturday. |

I've not been involved in parking schemes such as this but there will be Councils who have the need to waive the charge for their own vehicles accessing their anpr controlled car parks. Does anyone have a District Council contact?
I'm also up for some form of campaign to enable our away supporters to park on site for away games. I am also surprised we haven't had a holding response from Robbie. |

Durham mentioned (and I agree) that the Notts Cou ty pitch looked immaculate. Reading their programme I see it is to be completely rebuilt this summer, with underpitch heating, new drainage etc. It's around 25 years since it was first installed. |

Replays for smaller clubs is what it's all about. You may struggle for a draw when playing at home against a higher club and a grand day out for your fans is a reward |

I missed rhe incident but believe he was adjudged to have elbowed McGuire which had been holding him when he was going for the ball.
Referee went from decent to a homer in the 2nd half.
I had promised Mrs Witham fish and chips in Brighton if we won, so just home from Harry Ramsdens ! |

In answer to your question about the pitch, it was soft with about an 80% rebound bounce, and looked bare in places but it was at least level. |

1mm of rainfall on a pitch of approximately this size is8100 litres of water. I'm not clever enough to calculate the size of pipe required to discharge that volume into a ditch at an acceptable rate but I am sure others will be.
However having done some locum work for a Town Council that had been "gifted" an underground suds chamber of the milk crate style and was having complaints about it, we soon realised that what it required was regular cleaning of the gullies, silt trap plus an annual washout of the discharge pipes. Often when longserving staff leave that's the sort of knowledge they take with them |

We can blame the sticky pitch, we can blame the referee who missed several late challenges (and obvious fouls - you could hear the slap Akinde got to the face from 20 yards away) but in reality we had no outlet in the second half and invited them to attack. Either the linesman read the offside rule at halftime or Sutton knew how to beat it, but time and time again first half we got caught out.
And as at Harrogate too many (every?) corner went to their keeper. |
