Can anybody please

[lonegunman]

Find something to start a bloddy good thread. Anything to relieve the boredom now that the season has finished.  We could have 'who do we think we will sign'  for a start.

check the grassy knoll and the chips and curry  :bunny

There was an article in this weekend's Non League Paper detailing some defender who Alfreton have released, can't remember his name but he said he wanted to remain part-time and stay in the BSBN. Looking for a club.

So..ehh...him. Is that any good?

OT but how about "the traffic is much better through Boston now the alterations are complete"?

[Pooter]

Also OT: there's another chance to hear the Mark Steel programme about Boston tomorrow (Radio 4, 11.30am). Funny in parts.

Darren Stride's the player released.

We don't want old men, we need keen hungry lads like the last 2 seasons.

[Pilgrim86]

Darren Stride would still be an excellent signing...

For every Shaun Pearson, there's a Kevin Austin...

[father Ted]

  Yes Stridey  would be a bit slow. .but he can turn his hand to building jobs .
    Otherwise expect 'tired journey men '.

I see a released Grimsby player has made a sort of approach. Michael Leary has stated he would like to stay in the area as his family are settled in Louth.
Any thoughts about this fellow patter readers?

It might be if coming into town down the A16 - it has made things a whole lot worse if travelling in from Swineshead etc on the A52.

At the Liquorpond Street roundabout they took a lane away. There are now just two lanes, one for right turns onto the A16, and just one lane to go onto John Adams way. Now, every morning I have a really good view of an empty right lane as hardly any traffic wants to turn right onto the A16, whilst the lane onto JAW is so congested because you have to use that lane regarless as to which lane on JAW you need.

So, the traffic backs up in the right hand lane on JAW because of the right turn leading to the docks, and that means that the lead car queuing at the roundabout can't enter the right hand lane, because there is nowhere to go. Meanwhile the empty left hand of JAW cannot be accessed by those of us that want to use it until that right hand lane has moved along enabling the lead car to move on.

My question is, why isn't the right hand lane at the roundabout suitable for use by both traffic wanting to use the A16, and traffic that wants the right hand lane of JAW?

Oh come on Wembley85, you can't have everything, you know the planning criteria of Boston Borough Council - ease the traffic in one direction but make sure you bugger it up from another direction - it works every time they put their hands to it.

[Ken Fox]

Oooh - sounds like my sort of topic. 

Looks like someone's cocked up the design of the new roundabout. What the council should have done was get a reputable traffic modelling company like Fox Traffic Simulation to build a little computer model of the roundabout and the options being considered. 

Then test out the different options in the model with the observed morning and evening peak traffic flows and see whether they worked or not. Then they would have soon spotted that the option they have implemented doesn't work and they could have chosen a different one that did work and saved themselves the embarrassment of showing the Boston public that they don't know what they are doing!

I am staggered that they did not ask you Ken!!!!!!

Be like Yam Man. Ride a bike. No problems (except falling off occasionally - but not so often now I'm older)

[Sussex Pilgrim]

Here's a thread idea ....record every player that says they are signing because of the clubs ambition....its never the money is it
