and use his height and size ready for a cross field kick.
May also help him get in the game more bringing the ball out of defence'"
Agree on this, I can't understand why we didn't try more attacking kicks to Okunbor on Sunday, he nearly scored off the first one but then we didn't try it again. Surely having a 6'5 ex winger in the backrow would have been utilised more in the air.

I thought that but now I realise that if he got over the line he would forget how to ground the ball and accidentally throw it into the crowd. We are sparing his embarrassment by keeping him out of try scoring situations.

And yet you scraped past the worst SL team in history.

You wont even have to speak French
You can also contact Eastern Airways and ask them for a price to charter an aircraft from Humberside to Perpignan sameday return.
As i said i dont know the food prices but what i said about the FC travel plans using Scheduled flights rather than Charter being the far cheaper option still stands'"
When did Eastern start flying to Perpignon? Last time I was there they’d scaled back their routes. Who did you talk to when you rang?

It doesn't unless you can tell me which hotel they are stating at, which flight they are taking and the full travel plans with a breakdown of costs, if you can't then you are making a guess.
If you can do that I'll check out your figures, otherwise it's a waste of my time.

They dont
Its the company that the club used to charter the aircraft when they wanted to fly in and out of Perpignan on the same day

You don't do bad, 6725 post in 10 years, so that's 6725 negative posts.

| Far be it that i get involved in forum infighting between fans but what i will say( i worked in a related industry) is by flying commercially and staying over is less than half the price of chartering a private jet.

| Fair play to the club for going out earlier and preparing better

| The outcome will likely be the same regardless of whether we fly, get a coach or travel by horseback

| Litten, Severs and Charles to drop out for me and Gardiner/Lane 18th man
Walker
Martin
McIntosh
Carlos
Russell
Smith
Hoy
Ese'ese
Brown
Ashworth/Sao
Okunbor
Staveley
Houghton
Balmforth
Bullock
Ashworth/Sao
Lane/Gardiner
Had Brown not been suspended I'd have had Ligi at 13 as think he'd go well against Catalan in that role, could still possibly give him a stint there.
Still think its likely TS will go with a Brown/Smith pairing and Houghton at 9 for 80mins and Lane at 13 though.
