My University bought an entire site from British Gas a few years ago, leaving them with access rights for the remaining people employed there, along with a restrictive coventant on student access to the site (undergrads are not allowed on-site, neither is teaching - yet). If I were the University, I...

One thing which is puzzling me about 'administration' is the question of who would institute the process. Would this be:

Kassam, for unpaid rent (and/or other debts)?

or

Merry/Lenegan for having the inability to pay rent/wages (and/or service other debts)?

Pena

This is the second time to my knowledge that Pena has watched a game with nine goals - back in 2004 we went to Field Mill and watched Bristol City beat Mansfield 5-4 following the postponement of Oxford's game at Peterborough. Mansfield were 4-2 up with eight minutes to play.... Thinking about this ...

Home vs Millwall, circa 1996 .... Certainly the fatest supporter I've ever seen in the away end, revealed in all his (?) glory when a group of 10-20 Millwall fans moved behind the goal to verbally abuse Whitehead. &quotFat C***, give us a wave, Fat C*** Fat C*** give us a wave&quot, with oth...

Constable

See http&#58//www&#46soccerbase&#46com/players_details&#46sd?playerid=42584 . A good lower-league player in Football Manager from my experience, and played on loan at Oxford (from Walsall) in one of my FM 2006 outings. Hmmm..... Must admit I'm getting almost as excited about the new ...

Probably will: - demolish any remaining morale in the squad - make us an even more unappealing prospect for new players - make it plain to supporters that players they are likely to see a great deal of for the rest of this season are viewed as worthless by their Manager. Ancient Colin's point about ...

Possibly - justified in part by the fact we've gone from nonentity to unbeatable once before in a season (95-96), and that it does happen sometimes.... It has been a depressing start to the season, probably due to a Exeter PO hangover - in FM07 missing sitters is sometimes accompanied by a bit of te...

Home end

Watched the game from the home end behind the goal due to no ticket. Nice and quiet for the most part, with plenty of comment on the refereeing. Amusing that at half-time, various angry old men moved over to the catering hatch (in the same building as the changing rooms) and shouted things like &...

My God - last night managed the dualism of being shocking and boring - laughing stock material for any neutral who managed to watch more than two minutes of it. Brevett: out, immediately. Awful. Burgess: out, today or tomorrow. Showing the reasons why he spent half a season on the bench at R&amp...

Also, and lastly, didn't Ross Weatherstone score the first at Reading in that 2-1 away win?
