Re: Who do you consider to be a rival?

Bolton, always Bolton, similar modern day trajectories, and they fukkin’ owe us….always will I do dislike everything about Bolton because of that day, but in no way would I call them 'rivals'. They are just a club I don't like. I think knocking seven past them was quite cathartic. They did also put...

Re: The Non - League thread

Sounds like the owner there bought in with his sights on moving to a new ground and developing Plainmoor. If they can get a new owner who is interested in the club, rather than a property development, this could work out OK for them in the long run. A club in administration should be cheaper to buy,...

stealthpapes a win takes us to touching distance of 40 pints and we won't need too many more than that to stay up*.


Anyone who can stay up after 40 pints is doing exceptionally well

WestYorksRoyal Though in the interest of balance, we have some pretty detestable fans on the Twittersphere too.

Let's face it - the twitter spats are our bellend fans who think they are being funny v their bellend fans who think they are being funny. The odds of anyone coming out it with any credit aren't good.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

Really have had a load of dodgy keepers coming to the club since, probably, Mannone was here (and he wasn't the greatest). But since the idiot ownership has caused the club not to be able to trade properly what can you expect, either what we have or a load of youngsters still finding their way. Wer...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

I think we dished it out at the time. Which is surprising for Derby in particular, given we were poorly run at the time and clearly at risk of going in the same direction. When it was Pompey, it was just one of those things that happened to other clubs which we didn't feel at risk from. I feel with...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Snowflake Royal It would seem pretty on brand for us to end up surviving relegation fairly comfortably only to be liquidated in July / August.

If there's no takeover on the horizon, it'd be a brave individual who'd buy a season ticket when renewal time comes around

Re: Carlisle (A)

I've been there once, for a random game, as a mate was driving up to watch Carlisle City play*. It's an odd ground, but the strangest thing to me was that the home end wasn't very popular. Fans seemed to prefer the uncovered side terrace. I liked it, but I can't imagine the view is great from the en...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

Odd! Their previous manager, Westley, was a right gamemanship merchant too, a bit of a winder- upper to say the least. Like you say, probably at their peak this season anyway. Didn't he stitch up Farnborough too? When he was Farnborough manager he sold Stevenage some players for strangely cheap pri...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

At the crux is how money is filtered down the entire football pyramid. Fairer distribution. Given lower league clubs make far less from player sales these days. I'd like to see a smoother, more even, distribution of money, but that's not why clubs are struggling. They are struggling because they wi...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Snowflake Royal So Dai is making a minimum loss on sale (should that actually happen) of about £160m, but probably closer to £175m.

What a great business man.

Still a better investment than his Evergrande shares

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Maidenhead? On a train line, fits 4000 which we'd sell out every week. A decent start, and perhaps we could lease the SCL when we progress enough. Though I presume the phoenix club would refuse to pay Dai a penny as a point of principle. I think Maidenhead is the only realistic option. Going to Wyc...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

I think it would be likely we could end up at Wycombe for a bit should we need a ground and we're near the Football League. Far from ideal, but certainly better than trying to make Palmer Park or Scours Lane suitable (and I'm sure none of us would want to know what Cemetery Junction would be like o...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

No sale and we'll end. Even with a very successful phoenix club we'll probably never play in the top 2 tiers again. I think it depends of what sort of stadium we'd have by the time we get back in the league. If it's a makeshift one, then it's be tough. Something decent, and it'd be a different prop...
