Re: Asante thread

I came on the site yesterday and noticed that a thread on the subject of Mr Asante seems to have disappeared. I don't ever recall a thread disappearing before. Anyone have an idea why this can happen? It dropped back to page two when I deleted the spam post that led to it being bumped to the top.

New server

Afternoon all, Uncovered has been moved to a new server. Hopefully the worst thing that happens as a result of the move is that you might need to log in again, but if you do notice any issues, please let me know.

Apparently the winner is a part-time footballer as well (Oxford City, NLS) but he just went AWOL in order to appear on the show. So it says here, at least: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-o ... e-51613040

Re: Boston Away

"could/would/should of" “off of” I think these are both referred to as a 'Matterface' in commentary parlance, as in: "Ooh, he's tried a lob there and it looks like it could of come off of the defender's arm."

It was a bad day all round made worse by our rivals getting points.Think it was DFR prematch commentary on "Fortress Blackwell Meadows" that jinxed the whole thing.

I don't particularly like Love Island and Luke's presence on it isn't going to have me reaching for the TV remote, but I almost want to "OK boomer" Mr Wilson over that column. Very odd.

It'll only happen if Akismet (our anti-spam plugin) thinks your post could be spam. If the post is too short, or contains lots of links, or the grammar's a bit off, that can trigger it.

Re: Tamworth V Darlington Match Thread

Equally, if we did have to move the game to the Arena on "safety grounds" I don't think we're allowed to make more money from it - I think we still take 50% of our actual capacity on gate receipts, and anything over that goes into a neutral pot for the FA (their Christmas party fund, probably!)

Well if not a fans forum then perhaps a podcast to update us on finances, board replacements for John Woolnough and any update on Arena/ Blackwell it’s a while since we had one.

Bit strange that a new squad photo was being taken in front of the tinshed at around 2pm yesterday. Apparently it is connected with a new sponsor. Does anybody know anything about this?
It was for the last few Boost The Budget people (myself included) who hadn't made it to previous photoshoots.
