Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had similar plans in the spring, but couldn't summon my motivation, suspect I'd feel the same this time around too.

So the excitement builds - Friday is email watching day.

What do we think Paddy Power would be offering at this point on a Manchester decision?

A quick poll to see whether our intuition is correct...

I've lost all my mojo and anticipation for this. It would have been my first and it's not the experience I want. I also think I'm much further away, physically and mentally that I was when I started the last time. I hope, personally, that it's a cancellation.

That said, I suspect they'll do all they can to put it on in some shape and form (and I understand that).

Interesting about EA, hadn't seen that Ian5. Definitely, that will either kill it off, or potentially give them something else they need to think through.
