    Carlisle v Barrow 31st Jan

    I'm giving up the chance to tick The Walks (KL v BPA) off my List to catch this one on the TV/Laptop, so how about a treat of flowing football? Horizontal rain and a "stiff breeze" off the Solway in the forecast. They'll just get it down and play, won't they?

    Bullishness is rising, at least in this CB post code. This is as much on the back of the negative vibes from Sincil Bank as any major expectation of a turnaround in form. Since we beat Lincoln at the beginning of September (in what must have been match 7), taking our points total to 13, we've...

    League one players salary

    Not sure. There's probably some that pay all the wage and some that are paid to give the loanee game time. Crawley and Bolton may have fallen into the latter category in the past. :hypo:

    24th Jan fixtures

    Only 43 EFL clubs are in iFollow. 29 run their own services - mainly but not exclusively Championship level.

    Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

    As I've said in the other thread, when you see that we don't feature in the Top 100 earners for League 1 (or 2) , our 4 supposedly highest earners have been out for most of the season and 3 more of our top earners out for months (and we have zero loans), it's not difficult to see how we've...

    League one players salary

    It's so accurate and on the ball that it has Southend, Scunthorpe, Bolton, Bristol Rovers and Cambridge in League 2. Coventry, Rotherham and Gillingham are in League 1. If the figures are "about right" our top 4 earners have been injured for most of the season, 9,10 and 11 have also been out...

    I thought it was going to be Bill Shankly manager but he'd moved on to Huddersfield in 1956. The manager was actually Joe Harvey, who went from Barrow to Workington before eventually getting the job at Newcastle. There were over 21,000 at that game - a record for Borough Park, which now has...

    Glad I gave it a swerve now. I'd have wanted the gang to go on to Holker Street but suspect they'll go for Preston v QPR. At least I still get an iFollow game and it might be a cracker. All Bluebirds Are Blue. Stuff the Xmas Robins.

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2022/23

    Chris Turner was well respected in his spells as player and manager at Cambridge and Posh. Rafa less so on Merseyside.

    2022/2023 National League North

    After the costs, it won't come to much more than a decent home turn out I'm afraid. But a chance of the £41,000 for winning plus TV and a fullish house at home (Grimsby will travel in far bigger numbers than us) is worth the effort.

    2022/2023 National League North

    We'll probably only manage to top 2,000. I can now go and when I got my ticket there was plenty of room in the Main Stand. We've closed the Habbin Terrace. So it'll not be a money-spinner. At least the downpour is due to stop before kick-off, so we should get a result tonight.

    2022/2023 National League North

    You have a chance......... but not as big a one as you failed to take at home. The Nash v The Mariners would definitely be a cracking tie on one of the best pitches I've seen outside the EFL. Although U's are down to the bare bones and Curzon have a miserly hard working defence, I have a...

    Stickied League 2 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    I'd be amazed if Liam Bennett isn't coming back to the Abbey. With our multiple fullback injuries, he'd have walked into our team over last few weeks. He's probably our best two footed player on the books.

    City haven't played in Cambridge for nearly 9 years. Their new ground, which they should move to in 2023, is at Sawston - 5 miles outside the City.

    I have been fearing the worst (result, performance, cards and idiot fans) about my first Cambridgeshire Derby for weeks now. But come the day I'm feeling much more positive. 2-2 and no red cards.

    Saturday 29th October 2022

    OK. It's not a Derby. We've just got two sets of fans that hate each other and each other's clubs with an intensity. For F*ck's sake I've been going to the Abbey and away for nearly 20 years and we still sing about them and Barry Fry at least 2 or 3 times every game - and the only time I've...

    Bad back so watching on iFollow. Willo milked the "push in the back." He's our master of the dark arts. It was a foul that would often not be given. The pen wasn't a pen, it was a dive. He should have been booked but we got the goal from the break so :dk:
