Why, because you think people should feel sorry for addicts? You don't hear people defending junkies on the street who are hooked on smack and crack and god knows what else. When they break into someones house or car or mug someone on the street. People want them slung in the slammer and rightly so as its where they belong. Addiction being ruled as an illness or mental illness is absolutely ridiculous. If Cook has a genuine mental illness and is traumatized by something then of course I would feel bad for what I have said regarding him. The rumors are (not for the first time) he has a massive booze problem and therefore is unable to show for work because of it. If that is false then I will be the first to apologize.  I have sat through hours and hours of toolbox talks in Australia on mental health and have come face to face with people who have suffered massive family tragedy and come out the other side without resorting to drugs or booze (or gambling). I will add that the fact gambling is classed as a mental illness is absolutely pathetic. If your thick enough to gamble away money needed to support yourself or family then that is your decision and yours only. Nothing ever comes good out of gambling that's why casino and bookie owners are so rich. I am the first to admit I am outspoken at times but some of the reactions on here is exactly why the world is how it is today. Snowflakes and people tip toeing about in case they offend someone. Craig Cook has let both Leicester and Berwick down at the drop of a hat right before the season starts and has still not came out and explained why. As I said before, why does he hold a current license if he has genuine mental health problems? People can say its a disgusting comment all they want, its still a very valid question.

I think I can confidently speak on behalf of most of not all witches fans on here, we have no issue with belle vue mate, it’s you and your inane drivel you spout daily about us being a money club and this that and the other 👍

Lynn to lose quite heavily again I fear. Never go that well around Owlerton, with Harris being our only lifeline. Shouldn’t expect him to save us every meeting though. 54-36. ST 1. J Holder - 14 (5) 2. A Rowe - 9 (5) 3. J Pickering - 10 (5) 4. R/R 5. C Holder - 13 (6) 6. D Hume - 2 (4) 7. L Flint - 6 (4) Total - 54 KLS  1. B Cook - 6 (5) 2. N Klindt - 4 (4) 3.

maybe Ipswich is bit different to others, but the attendances at Foxhall seem to be consistently good no matter the opposition/competition or whether a play off place has already been confirmed. They rarely if ever, seem to drop below a noticeable level. The only visible difference is a bigger than normal increase which occurs on Bank Holidays, and when the team is doing particularly well. I guess it helps when your team has two superstars leading the team who entertain no matter what the circumstances. Always worth the entrance fee.

When the play offs get confirmed so early, it can reduce attendance's at the meetings that are still left to be completed... "Dead Rubbers" against a clearly bottom 3 team don't always stimulate those less regulars that make the real difference financially.... The die hards will be the ones always there regardless...
