Um...are we talking about Dibble or Ken now? Personally I prefer Dibble because he's funnier!

But I meant awareness of motives. It's been pretty obvious for a while that Ken's motives are very mysterious and that the reasons he often gives for doing things don't add up. Maybe he knows himself what the motives are, but I think not always.

I mean, this applies to everyone at some time or other, but Ken is especially good at it.

it might be an extremely complex web of motives

Well, you might be right, parmo. Who knows?

To me, the long list of things KH has said and done suggest more a certain personality type than a complex web. There seem to be no rationality at all, eg, in sacking a manager (Wadsworth) because he didn't get results, then giving money to the next incumbent to buy players. Either the team was adequate or it wasn't. If it was, why buy players? If it wasn't, why blame Wadsworth?
I mean, you could go on indefinitely with these examples.

Anyway, whatever the explanation is, he's really not going to admit anything because Dibble asks him a different set of questions from Yloop.

KH doesn't sound like a good candidate for the interrogation chair (but ideal from the perspective of the captors)

Beer - The draught beer is minging so I only buy bottles. If the bottles were cheap enough then nobody (well not many) could whinge about there being no draught stuff.

The matchday programme - It's too expensive because it tries to be a magazine. Like I've said previously go right back to basics, less pages, no glossy paper, a bit of good info about Pools and the opponents and sell for about 50p and they'll shift loads.

Pools Player - It's my forty quid and it's staying where it is.

Reduced admission for fans of other clubs - Only if it's a reciprocal agreement.

More involvement for kids / ballboys- I suggested to RG in the summer about the old style "Junior Blues" that they had when I was a kid where you got to be a ball boy on your birthday. He seemed keen but has done nowt about it.

Ladies toilet facilities - Wow, birds whining about bogs.

The seats in the Mill House - They should have proper ones rather than the 1980s anti-vandal shite that they've got in there.

Betting kiosks in the ground - Not interested.

The Rink End - The Town End is bigger, why give all of that plus some seats to away fans unless there is a chance to further segregate as and when required.

The Mill House Masterplan - Waffle.

Sky TV - No PL game before the match so why pay.


Dunno how that sits with what anybody else has said cos haven't had time to read what you lot have posted yet, might have a look at your drivel later.

Pretty much agree with all of that - I like the idea of a bookies though, but don't think it would work.

And as for the ball boys - is there any sort of training for these kids (for example....GET THE BALL) - them two in front of the town end on Saturday were having a laugh weren't they?
