AUFC 1910

Do you think you would get as many as that in the stand? When you watch those social distancing in the stands on TV - English prem - looks like very few people in a huge space - and that’s supposed to be 2m apart. While it’s encouraging that the deaths are minimal (Scotland) it breaks your heart when you hear all these places having to go into a lockdown again across the globe. I’m sure I speak for most on here when saying we are desperate to go along and watch our team play, but would also hope that it doesn’t end up contributing to another lockdown - local or otherwise. I’m getting to the frustrating stage now and I’m really missing following my team. Must be tough for the players - anyone here spoken to any of them personally?

Now that’s what you call investigative journalism - good digging my friend [emoji106]

Watching Norwich v Man Utd - i’d fancy us against either side!

Seems sensible

Can the club organise a poll? Do they have an email mailing list? At least try and test the temperature out there amongst the majority of the fans who turn up each week - there could be surprises that would help the club make a tricky decision.

His thumb is fine at least - followed me back on Instagram today [emoji106] That’s 12 prints sold so far troops £60 for the AU500 pot so far

Still, when he is on his game, he can thread balls through to Luke and Craig like no other, hopefully

8 prints sold so far (£40 for the AU500 fund so far) Preference definitely leaning towards colour print with black mount!

This is a brilliant point, and indeed points to where we should be aiming for. For too long we ended up with scraps, but improving, evolving and growing the club was never going to be quick. I think we’ve come a long way in a short period of time (hats off to McCall for his part). We are beginning to get the reputation as somewhere there is: - A good dressing room - A good style of play for all the ballers out there - A better and growing ‘back office’ ‘back room’ - A better off field with sponsorship, shop, ticketing and communication from the club. There will always be the money issue for paying players, which will always be a large percentage of any players decision at this level. But, we are heading in the right direction, to attract the better players, to be able to get players to commit to longer contracts etc. We need to be an established Championship team to keep building, and that takes time. We are going forward though, still not easy, but as long as we keep improving off the park, we will improve on it.

I have trust in the management team and the board. We have been perennial rebuilders for a long time, but our success of late has brought its disadvantages with so many players of quality moving onwards and upwards (Doc aside). To a degree we have carried our luck but also it has been earned, by those that have filled the voids left. However, my ‘worry’ and its only slight, is that our luck might run out. Where my ‘confidence’ comes from is a belief that the management team will be looking everywhere to put the pieces of the jigsaw together. Don’t know about anyone else, but I’d be delighted if we are mulling around that top 4 again this season. I’d be happy with mid-table considering the squad position / age at present.

Feels a bit of a blow, but can understand the top league thing. Hope he does well.

Right folks, I’ve ordered the prints so should be in early next week - offering it in colour, b & w, without mount, with white mount or with black mount. £5 from every sale will go towards the AUFC 500 fund Here is the link: https://etsy.me/37YyCLt[\URL] Feel free to share

Going to have this print available soon - don’t know whether to offer it with a white mount or a black mount (this is my side gig). I’ve sketched the photo I took the other day and coloured a section of it. http://etsy.com/uk/shop/StevenMcClureArt

Anyone been watching the English football with no fans - strange - very strange. It still amazes me how a game of football with no vested interest just isn’t the same - but is made so much worse with no atmosphere.

For anyone missing their fix - took this yesterday

We have been everything from all white to all black, surely it’s all about what styles and trends are in at the time and also probably the most important thing - that it is easily distinguishable from the opposition / surroundings so that the players can see each other. I would rank the home top in my top 3, but personally I think it looks good, as does the away top. Don’t know about you but I think that sometimes the sponsor logo can make or break a new top as well. It’s the ones that have small writing, like a family business name or something that looks total juniors / Sunday league.

Will be known as the Corona-kit / Covid-kit

Belter!!!

Some really good memories under Reid, and unfortunately some bad. Wouldn’t slate the guy too much but we have definitely progressed as a club since.

FFS Will the last person out, switch the light off please. Why don’t we just save all of this nonsense. Rangers and Celtic play in a 2 team top flight, while everyone else gets down on their knees and prays towards them, honouring them like the gods that they are. Anyone for cricket?

Hearts will go bust before we do

Apparently money is available for all clubs, but to distribute it more evenly, any club that is in the lower leagues that starts with an ‘H’ gets the biggest share. Oh, and ties are banned from the board room apparently!
