Ohh Tommy Johnson

Since I got 3 this morning, I'm going for 3 is very skilful indeed!! Wordle 753 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ????⬜⬜????⬜ ???????????????????? I may change my view depending on tomorrow's word!

I think anything less than 3 is pure luck based on how your starting word goes. Once you get to 3 the skill of working out the word kicks in.

I used to support Wasps when they existed, and one of the things they were most renowned for was identifying waifs and strays and giving them the platform to perform. Players like Paul Sackey, Serge Betson and others resurrected careers and went on to represent their countries. Coupled with hungry youngsters like Cipriani, the Willis brothers, Launchberry and so on, they had a great mix of experience and youth, but all hungry for success for different reasons , It strikes me the Notts are doing the same, identifying players who don't fit elsewhere, are young and up coming, or whose careers have stalled for whatever reason and are providing them a home to get back on track. It was very successful for Wasps, I think it will be for us too.

A toughie this morning! Wordle 726 5/6 ⬜????⬜⬜???? ????????⬜⬜???? ⬜????????⬜???? ⬜???????????????? ????????????????????

I think you need to look beyond the matchday experience (or combine the two). Charlton Athletic are very active in this area (as far east in Kent as you can be without getting wet). They ran football schools in holidays, they run the National Citizens Service for 16 and 17 year olds. Saracens are heavily involved with local rugby clubs, Wasps players used to coach at local rugby clubs too. You could also make tickets available through these channels, either free or discounted too, which could cement the relatinship.

It depends on the situation, whether its a chat or a single question, formal or informal. If I had one question in a press conference situation it would be 'What do you define as success for Notts County?' If it were a chat over coffee, off the record, then I would like to know what they saw in Notts to encourage them invest, how their plans have changed over the years, what success looks like to them, where they see opportunities to further improve the club (as a whole), how can the engage younger supporters (I think in this case our neighbours being in the Premiership helps in the short term). In the course of the conversation I think the general appreciation of the work they have done so far would come across plus suggestions going forwards. My suggestions are a little difficult as I live so far away, but embedding within the community would be a good start (Charlton Athletic run the National Citizens Scheme in our area - nothing to do with football, but promotes the club with young people), and working with the City Council to promote the club (they should be ashamed of their treatment of us after the Play-Off win and this could be used to our advantage). The Evening Post seems to be an irrelevant dead duck these days, but other media outlets exist to promote the club, can these be leveraged in any way? I think after that they would be pleased to see the back of me!!

That was a bit fiendish today!! Wordle 720 5/6 ⬜⬜????⬜⬜ ⬜????????⬜⬜ ????⬜⬜???????? ????????????⬜???? ????????????????????

It was in Roy of the Rovers, so my source is not 100% reliable!!

Wordle 719 4/6 ????⬜⬜⬜⬜ ????⬜⬜⬜⬜ ????????????⬜⬜ ???????????????????? Yay! It worked. 3 days, 3 days of getting it in 4!!

W Wasn't the offside rule different with a blue line midway between the halfway line and penalty box? I seem to remember Roy of the Rovers being caught out by that in his brief sojourn stateside!!

Thanks, I'm using Edge, but there must be a similar way.

I should have been clearer... I was thinking of the original US league with Pele etc involved. This version seems much more organic and sustainable.
