Re: Match day thread: Burton
Well a bit of an embarrassing afternoon for some Gasroomers.
Predicted fallback excuses of Burton being shit already being deployed.
After 10 years you might just try trusting the fucking manager, even if only until the first match of the season has started.
Re: Not Football
No, I tried to paste a previous post relevant to @MorrisItal_ ’s strange comments but I realise now that the only thing I can ever copy and paste is the completed Wordle whatsit. It was obviously still stored somewhere in the clouds and at that time of night I couldn’t be arsed to delete it.
i’d had one of the happiest days of my life yesterday, driving 55 miles around Amersham, Aylesbury and Thame area (with a lovely Thai lunch in Thaime (!)) in preparation for a forthcoming trip to the South Coast - the furthest I’ll have driven for a couple of years. When we got home mrs micra said (unexpectedly) “you did really well”. The day was a great boost to my mental health.
Re: Other Football
I really don't think it's a good idea to speculate on identity of an individual accused of a very serious offence but currently granted anonymity for legal reasons.
Re: Adams Park capacity increase
We really do need to start re-imagining town/city centres both in terms of increasing residential accommodation above retail/office premises as well as enhancing the social & leisure offering.
Putting a 12,500 all seater stadium close to the centre of town should not be considere daft any more, the traffic is dealt with by providing electric shuttle buses to & from park & ride near the motorway junctions, coupled with the relative proximity to the station.
The question of a flood plain is interesting as there is no reason not to build it raised above the high water mark, perhaps "on stilts" the space under the stadium can be used for many things or left as a "sacrificial space" when the river floods. Regarding concrete FGRFC managed to build an "eco-stadium" which limited its use of concrete, employed "green" energy etc. so being an examplar to the wider community is not out of the question either
Re: Adams Park capacity increase
I've told you, nationalise private school grounds and build it at Wycombe Abbey.
The oligarchs' daughters can have their lacrosse tournaments elsewhere
Re: Adams Park capacity increase
1) You continue that stream of consciousness that has got you into so much trouble previously.
2) The usual suspects extrapolate based on nothing but their need to contribute to the thread even though their track record on ownership questions is ropey at best .
3) Hyberbole reaches a crescendo.
4) Nothing happens
5) @micra criticises me quite justifiably on my awful grammar and punctuation .
6) We sign someone called Tom Wagcock and they change the flavours of the crisps at the kiosks.
7) We all move on.
Re: David Stockdale
The treatment Stuart Beavon got from a sizeable minority of our goons up at Burton still stands out as one of the most embarrassing Wycombe moments.
Re: Other Football
This is how authorities and corrupt newspapers get away with smearing innocent fans, because idiots like you lap it up and regurgitate it for them.
Worst thing I've ever read on here, and that really is saying something
Re: Andrew Howard + Shirt Speculation
Reproduced from here.
For reference, Cambridge University actually provides a useful colour palette page - https://www.cam.ac.uk/brand-resources/guidelines/typography-and-colour/colour-palette . The one that's actually blue on there (in the light palette) is the one most people associate with Cambridge as it's the one used in their brand identity. The one that's green on there is the "sporting blue" as used by the rowers and the egg chasers. Here's your full history of the sporting blue:
https://www.hawksclub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/origins_of_the_cambridge_blue.pdf
So, the short version of this, is that the "correct" light blue for a Wycombe shirt is Pantone 284, which is RGB 108, 172, 228 or hex #6cace4
However, whoever made the graphic for the Cambridge University website wasn't very careful with their colour reproduction. So here, definitively, is the correct blue (assuming you have a properly calibrated screen with a 2.2 gamma and a D65 white point, quartered with the correct Oxford blue (hex #002147)...
Re: Match day thread: play-off Final
Sunderland fan here, Only joined up to say that before the game reading different forums etc I bought into this dislike with one another
However after the match hearing Ainsworth post match interview and the big lads Bayo I have to say massive respect! They were so gracious and respectful it's really hard not to like them.
They're a total credit to your club and I genuinely wish yous all the best next season.
👏👏
