Re: Reading hit with winding-up petition by former chief executive

There has been a constant mood music behind the scenes that things have not been as smooth or as sorted as they could be. I kinda expect more along this sort of line. I hate to say I told you so ( not you personally SP) there is more to come btw. No one listened. He’s not the messiah. The stuff goi...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

I do find the conclusion that this dreadful performance means Hunt should have stayed/wasn’t to blame an odd take. He basically signed half of this side and we’re trying to recover from the mess he left Still can’t get my head round how bad we were, esp second half. But also just exactly what LR wa...

Re: Record Watch 25/26

I kinda hope they beat 106 just so people stop holding onto it in desperation rather than just accepting Birmingham took it. Does anyone take Birmingham's 111 seriously though? Maybe once the context of how they won the league is lost and only the record remains. How they did it doesn't really matt...

Re: Rival Watch

windermereROYAL Wigan vs Burton tonight, definitely dropping one place, we`ll drop two places if it`s a draw.


Which feels bad then I need to remember we have 7 points from 9 with LR and, also, Wigan and Burton will have played one game more than us after tonight.

Re: Hunts gone

People keep harking back to a time when Managers were given 'time'... That's all well and good if the cost of stagnation is bearable by the owner.... That's not the case nowadays and these new owners have been very clear about their objectives... The future is all that counts... I think someone sho...

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

So convince us that we’re improving and not getting worse? Not sure not losing at home to Mansfield and getting a brave 1 point at Exeter are the decision points to mount the case for the defence. There's no case needing to be made imo. And you wouldn’t listen no matter what. And when will there ne...

RG30 New ground, preferably with a very small away end allocation so we can all have a scramble over tickets.


Truro then (if they get through)

That's a long way to go!

Re: The non snowball stat thread

Millsy If you multiply this year (2025) by when we were founded (1871) and then square root the result you interestingly get 1946*, which just so happens to be the year of our biggest ever league win (10-2 against Crystal Palace).

Re: MATCHWATCH : Swindon Town (a)

Silver Fox Where do these super entitled people get their sense of entitlement from? We're not exactly historically successful. Were they all born after 2005 and think we deserve to be in the PL or something?
