Oh lord, here we go again. I’m feeling optimistic. Ah man. Every bloody season! I do so love this silly club of ours.
The club haven't given me anything to moan about yet mate. It'll be #ralphout before the end of November
You just get the feeling Ralph's starting to mould this team to the way he wants it. Young, energetic, hungry players with a bit of experience in there.
Must admit, I am too. The ings transfer felt like a hammer blow as I was still deluded enough to think he might have stayed for another season at least. But getting our first choice striker in, plus the youngsters, plus shifting the dross has me feeling really good about the future. Credit to the club.

I will call them today as my dad purchased one (on my account) on Saturday and I am also waiting for the car parking tickets.
Hope you don’t have the same postal problems that we had on the Island. Had 30 posties laid off due to Covid or being pinged, so took 2 weeks for my birthday cards to arrive. Other people missed more important mail.
All the staff are working like mad to get the season tickets posted so the Newport game is panic number two on the list.
Just spoke to the club. If you have opted for a card for your season tickets (like other years) they are being sent out via 1st class post this week. Same for anyone that has purchased parking. With the parking the worst case scenario is that wherever you park has a list of people that have purchased the ticket so will let you park if you prove who you are (no I didn't book mine in the name of thereisonlyoneno7 ) If you have opted for digital upload then you can upload to your smartphone whenever you want. She was very polite but the message I got was that we will get them, and don't panic. Probably worry more about playing United than getting to the game
