Student consession by Danae69

Just heard the club have stopped the students concessions and now must pay £10 instead of £5.considering the club have Coventry university splastered over the shirts and are based next to a university you do wonder what it would benefit the club in attracting students to games.Very bad decision

Unless there was any evidence of it being abused it seems an odd decision on the face of it.

Depends …. by Cynic Al

Guess it depends on your perception of ‘abused’.

I have had a Student ID for a number of years. I am over 40 but some of the professional qualifications/courses that I have undertaken have been ratified by a University and as such entitle me to be a ’student’ with an entirely valid student ID. I have only ever used the ID to enter a football match on one occasion (at Goole the day they increased the prices because we were the visitors). If I had used the ID to get a discount at Boro games would this have been abuse ?

I have a valid NUS card too. by Malton Seadog User: Malton Seadog

I’m an academic, and as a member of university staff, am entitled to an NUS Card. I use it to get 25% off rail fares, 40% off in restaurants, and could probably get into football grounds as a concession with it too if I tried.

It’s open to abuse, but universities do produce their own student ID cards with expiry dates on. If we accepted these instead of NUS cards, it’d be above board I’m sure.

I must admit i agree with the state of the toilets behind the stand. Brand new last season. Not looked after or cleaned all season imo. Not a criticism of the fc but if we are hiring/paying for these facilities the cleanliness has slipped for a 1 yr old facility.

Not been in the toilets (everyone actives responsibility) but there’s some real irony with the tannoy system…. last season there were a lot of people saying it’s too quiet. Appears the desired volume for one person isn’t the same for another.

I would be very loathe to want the tannoy any quieter, it’s important everyone in the ground can hear what’s being said. Ironically if I have any complaints about that, it’s that it doesn’t seem to be beamed into the clubhouse any more, so I had to “linger" at the top of the steps to hear the Boro draw before going back inside, and also didn’t hear the announcement about the delayed kickoff.

I will ask about the tannoy in club house, because I noticed that. In regards to the volume I have been asked by many fans that’s it’s not been loud enough and people have been saying they can hear it now. I can only go what the fans are telling me and I will be checking the levels at the Matlock game. I will speak to the powers that be.

Still injured apparently- he was there last Saturday at Trafford. Has to be said, doesn’t look good if you are out nearly all of pre season. Tough to get up to speed and fit again as the season gets going.
Hope killock was taken off precautionary at half time or we look really short at the back (especially with Johnson injured).
Big fan of merris but I think the long preseason hasn’t been great for him. He had a shocker today and at Trafford last week.

Bailey and ross will be ok, with burgess to come bk fingers crossed. Still feel sam got the rough end of the stick and seeing turnbull at pickering still makes me think we have really let a wuality young player go there. We we lucky with injuries last season really. Hopefully we don’t have a nightmare this. On another note, see max was on the bench for grimsby but didn’t get on

Johnson confuses me. A lot of people both fans and manager seem to rate him but he always makes me nervous, seems to back off a lot and not put a foot in and headers can go in any direction. Suppose that’s footy, everyone has a different opinion.

A few points …. by Cynic Al

Posted: 11/8/2018 at 19:23:02, 174 views. In reply to 'Back four'

1) Burgess was at the ground today.

2) Sam Hewitt left. He was unavailable early in pre-season. Came back. Chose to leave. (He also has a ban to serve so was unavailable for at least the first game which would put him at a disadvantage).

3) Turnbull asked to leave. We didn’t let him go. He asked to leave. He was in poor form at the time. He didn’t impress me last Tuesday.

2) and 3) might be a direct result of players being unwilling to spend prolonged periods of time on the bench (whether they are being recompensed or not). That’s football at our current level.

Agree with cynic Al. There’s always been way too much looking back at the club. Turnbull was a good player but always made costly mistakes - ironically as he did Tuesday giving away the pen.

I personally think burgess, killock and gooda are better than hewitt and Turnbull so I guess that what the manager thinks too and why those 3 were ahead in pecking order. Would have liked hewitt to stay but he left to play first choice somewhere else.

Really like Johnson… he really pushed on last season. Can see lacey giving cover and resting mezza at times when Johnson is back

RE: RE: RE: A few points …. by Cynic

Posted: 11/8/2018 at 20:35:19, 112 views. In reply to 'RE: RE: A few points ….'

Nope, he left to play (and get paid) . Lads at our level need to pay mortgages/bills etc (esp if you’re travelling to train etc) they’re not prem players where you get paid £50,000 a week to fight for your place, if you’re told you’re not going to be picked then essentially you’re being shown the door (whether that’s the right decision is a matter of opinion and what the manager is paid to decide, but don’t describe it as choosing to leave, it’s not, Sam Hewitt was shown the door, rightly or wrongly).

Pretty sure I just said the exact same thing that he left to play first team somewhere else? And agree…can’t expect players to stay, not play and not get paid. So…. manager picks his best players and he picked 3 ahead of hewitt.

Players at our level get paid
A) if they are in the team
B) if they are on the bench
C) if they are on a contract

As far as I am aware Sam Hewitt is not playing for another club at present (you might be able to tell me otherwise). I don’t believe he was told he was not going to be picked. If he had stuck around he would have featured quite a bit recently and would have had the chance to prove that he was worthy of a place in the ‘first team’. I understand your point, other players have been brought in who play the same position as him and his game time in the earlier pre-season games was limited (also affected by a holiday). But he chose not to stay and fight for a place. From speaking to SK he didn’t want Sam to leave.

RE: RE: A few points …. by Cynic Al

Posted: 12/8/2018 at 12:16:38, 97 views. In reply to 'RE: A few points ….'

1) I was there today. I saw him at HT on his way down to the dressing room with Mark Hume

2) he chose to leave. He wasn’t asked to leave. He chose to, his assumed reasons being that players had been brought in to play his position. I have spoken to people at the club (chairman, manager) about it. I understand your point. But my point is not bollocks. It is perceptions of the way things are/were done.

But, look at other players. Jimmy, Valo, Cadman all still here fighting for a place in the first team despite other midfielders being retained and others being brought in. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sam Hewitt as a player. I thought he was tremendous last season. But I was also aware that he got caught out for pace on a few occasions (and I am not saying that those that have been brought in are quicker). I was disappointed he left.

You are right, if he felt that he could not (or would not) get into the first team, maybe he made the right choice. But he was not ’shown the door’ because that implies he was asked to leave. He perhaps knew the writing was on the wall and chose to leave now rather than in 6-8 weeks time because it would be easier to find a new club now rather than in a few weeks.

From speaking to a couple of players that is not how it was seen in the dressing room. Bollocks was intemperate, apologies (this season’s resolution falls at the first hurdle) but stating that he just chose to leave of his own volition with no context is a long way from the truth (as told to me). Whether he’s better or worse than his replacements will be seen ( I haven’t got a strong opinion one way or t’other).

The biggest problem we now have apparently is that the club have to allocate more seats to the opposition and so as we already have a shortage of seats, this compounds the issue and is presumably why they are sold out. Maybe there will be some empty seats say 10 mins after KO. Not sure if this rule is being applied again this year or not. I certainly didn’t get my good seat that I had last season (but I’m not complaining). All the more reason to look forward to our new stand asap.

Not long ago we had 4 centre backs, now we have just Bailey with 2 injured and Sam left us. Hope that Burgess and Killock are soon back to full fitness - two decent players.

Just got back by the way and have to say I felt it was a decent performance. Half time 0-0 with both teams having the opportunity to score especially Collo with just the keeper to beat & a wide looking goal in front of him & he tried to chip him instead of planting it in either bottom corner. 2nd half and as it went on we really took control of the game to deservedly win. We had a goal by Valentine disallowed but not sure why. Pikes have some decent players & it should be interesting to see how they get on in the Evostick - they should find it more physical than NCEL. Thought their young looking no. 9 played well and looked skilful on the ball.

Burgess has a calf strain and they are notoriously a challenge to get back fully fit from because they go again so easy… so they do right resting it as long as they can.

Killock has a knee strain I believe and was informed it’s more precautionary to rest him tonight.

Something extremely similar happened at queensgate a couple of years ago. One of the ball boys on the main stand side at the clubhouse end got a bit excited and grabbed the ball before it went out of play. Cue one Jordan Porter to give a torrent of abuse full of expletives at the poor lad. End result the poor lad cried, and in the second half when the ball went out of play near him he didn’t want to go near the ball for fear of another abusive outburst! What happened to Jordan Porter? I hope he is suitably ashamed of himself!

For the positive half of us, that means we haven’t conceded yet.
For the negative half of us, that means we haven’t scored yet.

Poor result, poor play - especially the passing, and imo, a poor example of man management- best way to destroy a player’s confidence is to put him on from the bench and then sub him half an hour later for no discernible good reason (when none of our players exceeded mediocre today) and as pre season games are meant to be to improve fitness levels, get minutes on the pitch and to gel as a team. I don,t see how doing this can improve or develop one of our youngest players?

It was worse than that ,why didn’t kity use the subs earlier it was baking out there. Felt sorry for Cadman did nothing wrong . People are saying I’m a downer and such ! But anybody watching today ,would i think agree with me ,the team are clueless ,don’t think there keeper had a save to make ,due to no ball up to the forwards.

Well Bamber Bridge took the complete opposite approach to pre-season. They are training 4 times a week rather than playing lots of friendlies.

Think people need some perspective. It’s pre season! A chance to try what works and doesn’t.
There was non of the clueless comments after comfortably beating a conference team away or a Leeds under 23 team who had a stronger 11 than the team that beat taddy 6-1 3 days later (taddy drew 0-0 with shields today).
I was there today…. it was really poor. I was at Harrogate… it was really good. Most the other games are somewhere in the middle.
I too think we look tired… too many games with not enough trialists.
But… our players will be fit and reap the rewards when the season starts.

Results of the video review panel by Old Git

Posted: 5/8/2018 at 07:24:25, 129 views. In reply to 'how will we be fit if we are tired and knacked now!?'

A panel consisiting of me, my neighbour’s 4 year old son
and a stray ginger tom from down the end of the street reviewed video footage of the game
and reached the following decisions.
1. Coulo’s free kick around the 40th minute entered the frame of the goal
forcing the keeper to stop it crossing the line, this was interpreted by the panel
as a legitimate attempt at scoring by Coulo.
2. A header by Wally in the 87th minute entered the frame of the goal
before being cleared by a defender. The panel ruled this was a goal attempt by Wally.

The ginger tom was then ejected from the room after swallowing the video of Coulo’s free kick.

Later at a press conference when asked by a local journalist if he agreed with the panel’s decisions
the cat replied ‘Me, how’?

Short match report.
At the end of first half, although the only threat of a goal had been Coulo’s free kick, it looked as though
Boro would be the one to take the game in the 2nd half.
However following another terrible back header, remember the one against FCUM, a Trafford
player was able to run on unchallenged and beat Tommy with a shot into Tommy’s left hand corner,
he had no chance of reaching it. From then on our defence went AWOL and
Trafford put away 2 really excellent goals, neither giving Tommy a chance of a save.
A couple of Boro clearances prevented Trafford adding to their lead.
The first half was a bore draw, the 2nd a bit of a disaster for Boro.
We looked off the pace, had no cutting edge, lacked ideas and the first time all game
that we won a header in the area was Coulo in the 85th minute and that went 3 or 4 yards wide from a difficult angle.

nice post , lov the cat. , think we could have done better with headers in the box if we had got them there ,instead of nearly hitting the corner flag , at least we have two more games to get it sorted 7 to get our injured players back

that Trafford’s first goal didn’t come from a backheader but a poor pass.
Must still be having nightmares about the FCUM goal.

Guessing you have never worked in sports rehab / training? Massive difference between fatigue and fitness.

I am unfit and would be nakered running for 20 mins a day…. but by doing it regularly and going through fatigue, I would become fit.

Fair point it’s a fine line between the benefits of the two.

Pre-season, particularly with a couple of weeks to go, you might expect that players are working hard to get to peak fitness. Once they are there, hopefully not as tiring to maintain.
