Just watching Ipswich v Millwall and a player came out with what appeared to be his baby/toddler daughter who had “DADDY” on the back of her shirt. Who was the player we had, maybe on loan, big chunk of a player, but of a journeyman, not particularly good footballer but always gave 100% and did whatever was asked of him.

Potential northern lights across the UK tonight

On a non-football/finance note… been watching DTF St Louis recently on Sky Atlantic. Jason Bateman stars and I always feel he’s a trusty frontman*. It’s a (very) dark comedy and is a 7 parter - you can’t binge it which I think is good - and a bit of a whodunnit. Watched 3 of the 7 episodes so far and it’s been top quality television.

Is there a Kwi Fit discount for AFC Wimbledon fans ?

Ideas in themselves will or will not have merit, the real skill comes in applying these into workable schemes that stand tall on merit, not cost punitive and something that captures enthusiastic backing. With the right team selling ice to the eskimos, anything is possible, but there lies the hub of things, the right team and the right set of circumstances to make things work. VAR, for instance, and definitely goal line technology, I believe was introduced on the back of hawkeye, ones sports use with a 99.99% reliability in tennis, as seen by the lack of clarity in implementation in football, is nowhere near the reliability of accuracy in football.

Cheeer up people! Lovely day, good to be alive ...

We’re more than a football club, we’re a movement designed to improve society and all of footballs ills. Win, lose or draw, we have the moral high ground !

SB their focus is not on AFC Wimbledon as a football club. They are motivated by non-footballing factors.

We are fighting for the same pounds in pockets. Yet some want to put as few pounds as possible into these same people's pockets to start with by reducing wages to the bare minimum they can get away with.

Netball and basketball aren't for me but I'm pleased if other people enjoy them. Conversely many people find baseball and cycling deeply boring but I'm happy to watch them. Whether any of those have ideas that could improve our club is arguable.

Can't think I could get excited watching netball. Watching the six nations recently with all the blood and gore and not a manicured nail in sight , netball just doesn't figure.

They've ****** themselves!

Free balls!

Having had 7 emails begging me to vote, I received another yesterday and one today

JG Maybe- but better to learn from similar businesses (ie other football clubs) than those which are totally different- if you take a view that “football can learn from opera” you may get good ideas - or you may go down a total blind alley, given that the whole experience is totally different (I doubt we will get many people bringing picnics to eat on the concourse or coming along in evening dress). Also, just to note that London Pulse netball tickets do not average £30 - looking at their website the adult ticket price is £29 and kids tickets are £16.50 (i realise you don’t like ticket concessions as a concept, but they exist now) so the average price is likely to be closer to £20, even ignoring freebie tickets (and I have no idea of the extent of those). As I say, good luck to netball as a sport but again it’s totally different to league football.

Nick W: Our Club and Football don't exist in a vacuum. Neither the Club, nor the Sport have a monopoly on ideas. We are in the Entertainment business competing for the same pounds in people's pockets as other forms of entertainment and sometimes good ideas can be "borrowed" from outside.

A4e: the tickets are not free and I will elaborate once I have attended a match myself. But I was surprised that a Sport which I had thought was dying can turn itself around like it appears Netball has and is doing.

And Korea Kitey?

Ah, it's something to do with free balls.

I always thought that 147 was the "perfect" score? What's changed?

Ledd - I hadn’t realised that score was even possible, but now I learn that the maximum score possible is 155!!

RIP Nicholas Brendon

I don't watch snooker any longer although I was an avid watcher back in the day. I was one of those who stayed up late to watch Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis in that sudden death final frame. I also remember Cliff Thorburn winning the world title the same night as my grandparents golden wedding anniversary. Everyone who took an interest was in the kitchen helping with the washing up whilst watching on the portable TV.
