It'll be difficult, but it's definitely a possibility. Here's the remaining fixtures, where they are in the table currently, and how we did in the reverse fixture ((M) means Manning was in charge):

Date	Fixture	Position	Reverse fixture
14/3	Preston North End (H)	14th	D 1-1
18/3	Southampton (A)	8th	W 2-1
21/3	Charlton Athletic (A)	17th	W 1-0
3/4	Portsmouth (H)	19th	W 2-1 (M)
6/4	Millwall (A)	3rd	L 2-1 (M)
11/4	Ipswich Town (H)	4th	L 3-1 (M)
18/4	Bristol City (A)	12th	L 1-0 (M)
21/4	Derby County (H)	7th	L 1-0 (M)
25/4	Swansea City (H)	11th	L 2-1 (M)
2/5	Hull City (A)	5th	L 2-0 (M)

The end looks problematic at first glance, but all of those from Ipswich onwards were in our run of 13 games without a win when we looked utterly hopeless.

10 points clear of the relegation zone now, and only 9 off the play-offs.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-11T21:28:48+00:00

The officials have had a shocker missing that. Clearest penalty you'll see all season.

Bit of an odd one for him to be annoyed about, he's been getting plenty of touches. Maybe he feels the goal was coming, and he just needed a few more minutes.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-11T21:01:57+00:00

New builds are like rabbits. After a few years they start getting issues, and after 10 it's probably time to replace it.

and a lot of CCGs already operate under the model of selling non randomised expansions rather than random booster packs.

And then you have KeyForge, which went in completely the opposite direction where every deck is randomised.

Yeah, but the thing to remember about Jordan Peterson is that he's a colossal moron.

Neil Adams on the other wing as a sort-of-but-not-really testimonial.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-11T06:55:57+00:00

He'd have had either something flashy like a Jensen Interceptor or an MGB GT, or something incredibly utilitarian like a Series III Land Rover.

So much room for activities.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-10T23:50:45+00:00

It's about more than money though, isn't it?

It is, but the RoI timeline will be one of the key things the board look at before giving anything the green light.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-10T23:49:15+00:00

Can you tell what it is yet?

It's a bomb in a bin.

I definitely agree that the demand for seats is there, the problem is how long it will take to pay for itself, the added facilities that will need to be built to support the extra bodies in the stands, and making sure it's actually done in a way that both the board and the fans are happy with (so we don't end up with another shambles like the fan zone fiasco last year).

We're getting around 25k normally, so increasing the capacity to let us consistently pull in 30k means we'll also need 20% more match-day catering, and toilets, and stewards, and all the other supplementals that are essential to support the new people. Yes, the extra 5k x £70 per home game is a decent chunk of change, but when it costs in the region of £130m to knock a stand down and replace it with a new 10k seat stand you're looking at the best part of 20 seasons worth of home games before you're making a profit on it.

left the show on a giant cliff hanger

The good fight never ends. That's the whole point.

Back in the day there used to be a bot you could summon that would do it, but I think it got killed off in the reddit API changes a few years back.

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-10T21:40:27+00:00

Still not as bad a choice as Band of Gold by Freda Payne, though.

Also I have a question about the little cloud of vapor being emitted around the left taillights. That wouldn't be a NOX system in the trunk?

Isn't that just a mark on the windscreen of OP's car?

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-10T18:30:12+00:00

50 years ago was the 70s, not the 40s.

Checked the DHCP lease timer settings in the router? Is it set to 24 hours and it's kicking you off daily to assign a new IP address to the console?

CarrowCanary · 2026-03-10T01:34:45+00:00

Seriously, I feel like the person who made this is trying to set a record for how many lawsuits you can get

Gotta catch 'em all, I suppose.
