    Off Topic Quadweekly Quiz (Thu to Sun)

    Well done mate, must admit I thought we'd get a 17, but 18 knocks it out of the ball park.

    Off Topic Quadweekly Quiz (Thu to Sun)

    15/25 I thought I'd done worse than that as I messed up quite a few questions, didn't get a single 50:50 call right. Then again a couple of outrageous guesses came good. If anyone get 18 today they'll win, in my view. Thanks @Blond Bombshell

    Off Topic Quadweekly Quiz (Thu to Sun)

    11/20 Once again I'm surprised at how little I knew. I must read completely different news sources to the person that sets the quiz. Or, perhaps, I'm just thick. When you know, you know. When you don't know you're....... (insert suitable word) Cheers @Blond Bombshell

    Shame he's not fit now, would have been LB cover, though I do prefer him at CB

    Off the field operations

    Oh I agree, but it just shows you what we are up against when the Man City group come along and recruit one of ours. There will be a lot of competition. Then again it's a compliment to our initial recruitment, hope we can do it again.

    3 more fixtures on TV

    Well that Bournemouth fixture will cause my lad a load of bother, he have to go down Friday evening now. Don't think he would fancy catching a train out of Durham at 5 o'clock in the morning.

    Off the field operations

    It will an interesting one. Does the club at this early stage go out and get someone in who's done it all and is at a high level or someone doing a good job but with potential to improve. Or do we promote from within. I shall be watching with interest.

    Off the field operations

    Good luck to the lad. Looks like a canny move for him. I suppose it demonstrates to others that they can do well at SAFC and move on to better things. Hope that we get a decent replacement, hopefully already at the club, after all, the model, dictates that. I also hope that at some point we are...

    January Transfer Window 25/26

    Neil is 24 now, I think the tribunal system is more applicable to academy lads, but admit I'm not sure on that and happy to be corrected

    January Transfer Window 25/26

    Think those figures are a bit optimistic mate Neil can sign a pre contract agreement in January and leave at the end of the season. We may sell for minimal fee in January but given the way his agent has conducted negotiations I don't see the agent agreeing to that.
