Mystery Solved - Stu Isn't Poo

As noted in our report of the 2nds' drubbing at the hands of Grange 3rds, someone had left us a message on the scoreboard. We wondered what "Stu is Poo" could possibly mean. We couldn't remember the last time we had a Stuart in our ranks. Had a lovelorn local lass left the message after being dumped or betrayed by the caddish Stu? Had a Nail slipped across from Goldenacre to express his contempt for our landlords, Stew (sic) Mel? Had FFS, our long-time long ago blog troll, reemerged? No one knew.



That once-mysterious message again.

But yesterday there was a breakthrough as BAF advanced a new theory. The message isn't "Stu is Poo" at all, but "Stu 8 15 Poo", or in full "Stu[art Broad] 8 [for] 15. Poo [!]" Left five days before Broad's Trent Bridge heroics, this is clearly the work of a clairvoyant Australian cricket fan.

If he or she wants to leave us any more predictions, can we suggest Twitter which allows nearly 16 times as many characters? That way there will be less scope for confusion and misinterpretation and the Treasurer can make a profitable trip to the bookies.
