Pete Wild appears to have pulled off a minor miracle in his ten days or whatever it is at the helm. But a very reassuring friendly win and the best result in all the professional leagues this weekend, against a side expected to struggle, will be part of a patchy record if followed by a loss at...
If that's all there is behind it then I'm disappointed. We were more than a 24th-finishing team tonight. You never know, but from our on-field performances we're leaving putting a squad together very late indeed (third only to Bury and Bolton, oh fourth after Notts County maybe?), but the...
Funny how it goes. I went down to Kidderminster from Salford one evening late on in the 2015/16 season. Kidderminster were mathematically down if they didn't win that night, with a handful games to go. We lost in the most lousy fashion 0–1. After probably annoying the rest of our following...
Horrifying to pay £18 for a seat in the Conference South. Oh lordy.
We can hardly talk though. Reasonable season tickets but at the Shay this season it will remain £20 adults, £17 concessions.
Argh that's tragic. Didn't know how you went down in the end last season so it's all news to me. Are your boys invading the pitch because the Newport goal was yet to happen?
Good quality, got scoring straightaway. If we had him for a full season I'd be hoping he'd get 12 or more. After a handful of games Rodney started showing that he was the better of a good pairing. He's solid, and if he did any more then a Stevenage or Peterborough would snap him up in the...
It surprised all of us too, as he was given the typical heroes' welcome of an unproven player joining Town when we first got him on loan. "Is that the kind of shite we're bringing in now? Booooo!" etc.
But whenever he got into a clear chance (and our team only seems to average one a game), he...
Your personal player of the season: Brown (CB) or Johnson (GK). Possibly Brown as he's such a good one for team spirit and hasn't sat half the season out with injuries for once. He also seemed pretty forthcoming in supporting the manager when he was putting out dross and I was desperate to see...
Out of where I've been, and subject to change depending on future experiences/getting chastised on this thread:
God tier: Halifax
Top tier: Chorley, Harrogant, Stockport
Mid tier: Hartlepool, Barrow, Chesterfield
Low tier: Gateshead, Wrexham, Dover
Shit tier: Morning Wood, Edgware, Dagenham...
Finding excuses not to go to Wembley for the most important game in a club's history is severely tinpot. Basically a tinpot apotheosis.
Weren't there 19,500 at Wembley for Kirkham & Wesham vs. Lowestoft Town in the FA Vase final? Basically they've gone backwards as Flyde, sub-amateur crowds.
I'd argue that Salford can't grow their fanbase too easily where they're currently situated.
Moor Lane is pretty much the north-eastern tip of Salford, which limits how many locals see themselves at in that catchment. It's situated in a ward with the highest Jewish population in the country...
At least Salford don't have a picture of Thatcher up in their boardroom (to my knowledge).
It absolutely sucks, but it could've absolutely sucked slightly more.
Hopefully they both get Derby'd next season.
Yeah, I think it's the combination of Salford being my home city of sorts (and a proper place at that), their owners not being active on the extreme right, and the half-chance we'll be able to sign Devante Rodney off of them once they're promoted, that makes me "prefer" them to go up.
Wish some...
