Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

MouldyRoyal I'd like to thank Wycombe for helping out their local neighbours, good eggs them lot

Not sure how they are going to keep it running, mind.

It’s like when we helped them out by buying Simon Church. Or when we helped Cork out by buying Alan Bennett.

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Palmer Park is difficult because of the leisure centre and adjoining football pitches and the car park being tiddily. I'm also not sure whether the internal dimensions support a football pitch. But yes that's the best option if it does come to that. Is there not a football pitch in the middle alrea...

Re: The phoenix club thread

It might sound ridiculous but if the council could be encouraged to buy the Mad Stad then it's not something to be ruled out. I'd ask the question. Easier to rent off the council and if the club is well supported, it'll shoot through the leagues. It might be a lot of fun but it's still something I ...

Re: The phoenix club thread

St Pauli It’s a bit of a weird record anyway, given that it’s been beaten in lower leagues.

Lower leagues don't count. Neither do higher leagues.

If Usain Bolt runs 100m in 9.67 seconds in the Olympics, good for him, but he doesn't hold the Waingels Year 9 100m record.

Re: Ex Players

That's a bizarre overreaction to a minimal comment about an ex player. I have never called for him to be "cancelled" (not that he has a public facing role that would make that even feasible) nor did I even state anything particularly negative about him. He's entitled to his views, as ill ...

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Well, might Wycombe also be interested in buying a decent local-ish stadium close to a major motorway at a bargain price too? Adams Park is small capacity and difficult to access and so is limiting for a club with ambitions to rise up the leagues. Maybe the phoenix club can pick both the stadium an...

Re: The phoenix club thread

I do have money set aside for this, but when we finally get dissolved I honestly won’t have any appetite left for football whatsoever. I will have over 50 years of memories some great and some not so good and that’ll be enough for me. If I watch any sport it’ll probably be the Royal Wootton Bassett...

Re: If a buyer isn’t going to happen, would you rather?

Our £1m Lita signing was very unusual in being a Championship signing not funded by a larger sale.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wycombe Wanderers (h)

Actually thought Mola was MOTM before that moment of madness. Looked much more committed defensively than I’d seen him before and got forward effectively. Pretty uninspiring stuff - good intensity at the start of the second half but then we faded. Thought Craig did better than Wing but understandabl...

Re: Who do you consider to be a rival?

I "academically" consider Oxford, Swindon, and Aldershot our rivals, but there's no venom there.

I have much more hatred for West Ham (both for Pardew and because of their Allardyce-era thuggery), Cardiff, and anyone associated with Neil Warnock.

How does that compare to previous years? Is this year an anomaly? What are the reasons behind it? Are the Cat 1 clubs playing their strongest U18 sides, or are their better players playing up an age group so aren't being considered for the Youth Cup especially the early rounds?

Re: liam moore to return till end of the season

There were also rumours ( I believe on this forum) of a racism incident at the club at the time where Moore as captain didn't back the club's handling of it. I thought the issue was that he didn't back the player. Might've got that wrong though. If he’d backed the club and not the player, it would’...
