Owt 'appened?

What were your holiday highlights from the magic of Skye mate? Welcome back.

Quoted from grimsby pete

Halfway through the season ticket reduction period and we have just over 1,000 holders

114 new ones,

Expecting a big surge when we sign a striker.

Can't wait to renew. Just waiting for us to offer our player of the years a contract extension in Januaryish, before their contract expires and they have to apply for agency work at a docks fish factory.

Funnily enough, I'd expect them or their agents to sort a deal out way before Mr Magnay, Mr Amond (just the 37 goals, but against pub teams), or the admittedly mere left back's contract is up and can leave on Bosman's.

Tell you what, let's allow an absolute stalwart of the club to leave on a free transfer, a bloke that would run through walls for you, and would lead through the middle. And let's let him leave and be replaced by a 34 year old, who will partner a 36 year old, with a 36 year old mate at full back (Mills may have something to say).

I take it BP will beVicar less next season?

And that's where the problem lies, a proven goalscorer at this level is holding back the season ticket sales.

It's not rocket science.

Thanks.

The Isle of Harris was the highlight for me. Skye is stunning but a bit too commercial for us, with overseas tourists everywhere by the busload. The Cuillins were a site to behold when we drove down from Uig to Luib where our cottage was situated. The Quirang and Trotternish peninsula was awesome but again, there were so many people there, we couldn't find anywhere to park. We have said we need to go back earlier or later in the year. For a smallish Island, it has a lot of spectacular scenery.

Plockton was the same when we drove over to the mainland. Stunning place but coachloads of tourists arriving all the time. Would recommend Harris and Lewis if you want the scenery without the crowds. The beaches in particular are indescribable and look more like you would get in the Caribbean.

That's down to bloody Les shouting his mouth off about it.

Les' endorsement was one of the reasons we went.

Indeed mate. I don't see any evidence the club is actively trying to win promotion.

October is a great time to go the West Highlands, in a week we have had everything from 28degree bright sunshine, days without rain, to overnight frosts and a day of snow, but no midges and not many tourists, just walkers. The local football teams are rubbish.

Man goes on holiday and complains about the holidaymakers...
