Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? Tottenham's stadium cost ...

Re: Rival Watch

With rival watch this season pretty much over, I wonder who will be our main rivals next season. I'm not expecting any teams to be as strong as this year's top 3, but I think there will be plenty in the mix. 2 of the 3 coming down will be teams who were competition in the Championship, while Rother...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Birmingham City getting relegated after sacking Eustace for Rooney would be objectively hilarious. They spent ages fighting their previous owner like we have with Dai, but it could their new ambitious US ones who finally take them down with one of the worst ever managerial decisions. they also anno...

Re: Who do we want to play next season?

under the tin
Ark Royal Definitely up for a schlepp to Barrow. I was also at that game in 72 at EP when vouchers were issued for the Arsenal cup game. 52 years ago. Yikes.

So was I, AR. Over 11000 came for that voucher.


Was the term "plastic" or "gloryhunter" or a 70s equivalent a thing then?

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

Pretty much, except I'd replace 5 with "assurance that Cat 1 Academy status will be supported for the forseeable".

BTW I thought Compass had already quit this "appalling" club themselves.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Only if we make a late payment for something. There's basically max one bill left to pay before the end of the season and the prospective owners have put money into the club secured against Bearwood to pay the bills. I think the season officially ends 30th June which is when the suspended points ch...

Whatever the question is at United ETH isn't the answer. down to the 5th & 6th choice CB's, no fit LB for most of the season. He tried to sell three players in the summer, who as a result of injury, have had to be starters (Mctoninary, Maguire etc). Often been without a recognised striker for s...

Winston Biscuit Newcastle have now avoided relegation, which means their obligation to buy on-loan Lewis Hall from Chelsea kicks in for £28M.

Re: £397K on agents fee

rabidbee Presumably when Ejaria’s contract was paid up there would also have been an agent’s fee?


Probably - and also when extending/renewing an agreement with an existing player too!

Re: The Non - League thread

rabidbee Ooh, Bracknell now only outside the playoffs on GD. COYR


Unlikely to dislodge Merthyr though as the Welsh have a game in hand, to go along with their vastly superior GD, and next week Bracknell have to take their less than spectacular away record to play the champions Chesham.

Re: The Non - League thread

Torquay docked another point for fielding an ineligible player. The Weymouth v Yeovil match abandoned after a medical emergency in the crowd will not be replayed and Weymouth ( leading 1-0) are given the win. I suppose that's because Yeovil are already promoted and Weymouth won't care as they're th...

Re: Away followings

Looking at the top three, it would not be surprising if all of those are playing in the Championship next year so, depending on who comes down, we could well be even higher placed. I expect we'd put up a better showing than Rotherham. Sheff Wed and Brum would likely do better, but some of the other...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

I thought the suspended points deductions related to pitch invasions and abandonments? 3pts gets triggered if we get another game abandoned. 2pts gets triggered if we are late with wage/tax payments again. Both were suspended for 12 months I believe so will have them hanging over the club until 2025.
