That last clause somewhat superfluous...

Coastal 1 (o.g.) Marooned 0 2222 666 On the way back, the team coach is forced, by storms, into a motorway service station, where the team take shelter, leaving the driver with the coach. However, the driver falls asleep, and another coach runs into him from behind: from that coach emerges a driver,...

Well, multiply the total number of league away games we'll play all season by the average number of points and deduct the number of points we have already...

I think it should be withdrawn whatever: it's the right message to give. I also (as I indicate on the other thread) think RO should:

My calculation here now has us two points of the play-offs with even an average away record. (Yes, games in hand, yes Wrexham, but it's still a lot healthier position than the one we're in.

Bloody hell &quotmischaracterisation&quot NO! can't you see that taking away the sponsorship is only going to be visible to those who paid the money? No, I can't, because I think somebody may just spot the alteration in the programme and that even if they do not, if soembody asks &quotw...

Firstly, it's not hiding anything to withdraw sponsorship: to not make a big noise about something is not the same as not doing it, you see?

Don't be silly.

I imagine the last thing the club is likely to allow is for him to say anything off his own bat to anybody. I would be amazed if he hasn't been given explicit instructions to that effect. Which is the problem for anybody demanding statements, acts of contrition etc: everything he says will be dictat...

Rather neatly illustrates the problem, does it not?
