Yep, 9974 was the official figure. Always expect a few more for first home game of the season (even though it technically wasn't), but given we probably lost a few to time/day/live telly, a very healthy turnout.

But if you keep doing it, it will eventually become funny again. Just ask Stewart Lee...

Robinson said in his post-match we'd be appealing it, but based on the above I wouldn't expect it to be overturned... looked like a fairly deliberate shove from the highlights.

Beret well.

Possibly not directly, but if not they could likely hook it up to a laptop and use something like OBS Studio (free) or something better (not free) to stream via their service of choice.

It's just frustrating that when they're already filming and commentating on almost every game, they can't go the final few yards so we can see the pictures alongside the live comms... or even just the pictures. The bandwidth cost of the actual streaming is probably pretty small... in the absence of any other overheads, I'd guess they'd be more than covered if every viewer was asked to pay a couple of quid to watch every week. Or it could just be considered a Well Society perk for overseas members, since the other ones aren't usually much use to us. (Though here in Ireland, I'd lose out both ways as they're not allowed to live stream Scottish fitba' here either...) The whole rights/geolocation issue is the main problem I presume -- as far as I know, none of the 'simple' solutions (YouTube, Facebook, Periscope, uStream and whatnot) have either a way to stream to paid subscribers only, or to block viewers by IP or location. So presumably the club would need to pay for some bespoke solution, and that's what'd put the price up for viewers.

Well, no, quite literally all we actually have to go on is Flow saying he was ill.

Hmm... hate to play the wet liberal PC card, but going from a claret boy bear and an amber girl bear to a macho white bloke doesn't really seem to capture the inclusivity zeitgeist...

Which is fair enough, but I can't imagine that means they'll benefit much from raising their profile around the 'Shire.

"Caribbean-based gaming company" according to the 'fishel site ("Authorised and Regulated by the Government of Curaçao" according to their own website), which makes the whole Turkish thing even more odd...

Good old Wikipedia...

Only if there's an equal likelihood of it happening or not.

Yep, that's my recollection from stats classes 20-odd years ago..

Not to my recollection, but, as you say, it doesn't really matter. The next 12 I flip are still always just as likely to be all heads as any of the other 4095 outcomes...

As somebody says every time, so I'll be That Guy this time: if the draw is truly random, as we'd all hope it is, then that's just as likely to happen as any other sequence of home and away ties they could've had.

Ben Hall knew when he left that he was going to join Brighton's Under-21s, so he can't have too many complaints if he's still there after just one season. If he's still there when his contract expires, then it'd be fair to re-assess whether he's out of his depth there.

I doubt he would either. But in that case I'd expect him to say nothing at all since he has no need to do so (especially on Twitter), rather than just lie about it.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

If you have any follow-up questions, I'm sure you can go along to (or submit them to) this month's "Ask the Board" session: http://www.thewellsociety.co.uk/2017/06/23/have-your-say-monthly-surgery/

More specifically, he said it'd be a goalkeeper, and our new assistant would be confirmed as well.

£20 sent.

They covered that here: Head Groundsman Paul Matthew catches up with MFC TV

Hardly a wild punt, the manager's already on the record saying we're hoping to sign two or three early this week...

Flow said they didn't really want to announce Faddy's departure yesterday, but the papers got wind of it so they had to. So even if it were to be Lasley, they'll probably make that announcement on a day when there's nothing else to announce.

Actually I pretty much have one of those, just need to subscribe to threads on the forum to get them in your email, then set up notifications for whatever email folder you filter them into...
