Got there in the end... Wordle 739 5/6 ???? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????

Wordle 734 4/6 ???????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? Same here!

Definitely, this is on the council.

Gillingham is our 5000 game? That's my local match, so I'll have to make my way over!

Wordle 733 2/6 ???????????????? ???????????????????? Lucky with my starting word today!

It was. I don't think they touched the ball all game except to kick off... or that's how it felt at the time!!

Maybe the lack of a full time CEO affected communications from our side. I doubt delayed celebrations rates highly on the radar compared with preparing for the new season.

I would like to see a bit more pace at the back. Nemane showed how useful that is when he stopped that chance in the playoffs. A Des Walker type or two with pace to spare would be good. I think our midfield now give us options for subtly different approaches and our forwards look formidable. It's hard to keep 3 goalkeepers happy. If Brookes is going out on loan again, then another keeper is a must really, but otherwise I would be looking to Brookes to step up this season.

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.

Favourite Football Kit? The Home Ales one Best ground you've been to? Best Ground is probably Old Trafford, most enjoyable visit is probably Hillsborough when in the old first division when a smallish away following so out sang the Wednesday crowd that it was commented on by Radio 5, Scariest is either Chelsea when Rachid Harkouk scored the second, or St Andrews when we scored a late winner - I was in the Home end both times!! Favourite player growing up? Ian Scanlon Who is your GOAT? Don Masson Favourite Football Video Game? I'm not much of a game player but there was one called Football Manager or something I played occasionally. Favourite Football-based Movie? The Damned United Favourite Football Documentary? I haven't really watched one. First football match? York City at home in 1972. I was about 4 and stood on a little stool in the Kop watching over the wall. I was hooked from that point on. I think we drew. My memory is hazy though. I saw them play us in the kit with a Y on it, but I think that was a few years later. If you could watch just 1 football match for the rest of your life what would it be? Probably Mick Walkers first game in charge as it was such a change from what we had seen in the months preceding it, Football never existed, what's your go to alternative? Rugby Union / Cycling / Cricket at various times You can change 1 decision in football history, what would it be? Not sending Gazza off for that elbow on Paul Harding.

I'm not surprised. The team that won promotion is not intact, new players have joined, they have other things on their minds. A celebration would be pointless and distracting. I suspect the City Council knew this. I am a little surprised there wasn't 'avoided relegation' celebration though.

O2 still allow roaming within your package as pre-Brexit, but they are the only ones, so how long that will last for is anybody's guess.

Nothing much planned this year yet - a weekend in Brighton and a weekend in Dublin, but I am hoping to get away in my vintage VW camper somewhere later in the summer. Lots of happy memories camping, in the van with my own family, on family holidays when I was young. I have been to Iceland a couple of times which was great too. One epic holiday involved cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats and climbing Snowdon, Scarfell Pike and Ben Nevis on the way and another we walked the West highland Way. They were both epic adventures.

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

Woo - a bit better than yesterday! Wordle 725 3/6 ???? ???????? ????????????????????

Eventually!! I've not come across that word either. Wordle 724 5/6 ???? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????

Me too - my usual name for these forums is Rifleman Harris, taken from Sharpe! Daniel Hagman was my other favourite character. We are going to see the Home Service at the Broadstairs Folk Festival, but John Tams is too old to travel any more so he isn't going to be there, which is a huge shame.

John Tams - I really like his stuff, Home Service, Albion Band and his solo stuff. I also like the Sisters of Mercy, Placebo pretty much anything on the indie rock, goth path. Mind you Twenty One Pilots are also good. I have joined a vinyl subscription service and get 3 surprise albums a month based on a theme I can choose. This has really opened my ideas to a number of different and new to me bands - The Amazons, The Offspring, Chic, The Bombay Bicycle Club etc etc. Now I listen to pretty much anything, but I draw the line at Gangster Rap (much to my daughters amusement as it is pretty clear I don't really know what it is, but refer to anything I don't like as Gangster Rap!).

Back to 4 again! Wordle 723 4/6 ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????????

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!!
