    The proper relegation thread.

    I recall when we went down we were in a similar position to Scunny. :dis: Charlatans in the board-room. A squad that, whilst individually talented, did not seem to give a shite for much of the season. Probably two of the worst managers the whole of football (let along just ECFC) have ever seen...

    Week ending 2nd April

    OK. A few sendings off then.:P1:

    Hardly. Last season we didn't even make it to the bloody church on time. :(

    League 2 General Chat Thread

    So will the new ground be ready in time? Or are you just passing a long-term (non League) groundshare in Cleethorpes?

    Boxing Day

    Don't worry. At least the HMS Premier League is cruising serenely through the latest episode of the pandemic. So that's alright then.

    Tuesday 23rd November

    I was sure that Sutton was a little further than three miles from Mansfield?!

    FA Cup 2021/22

    Happy to put up a tent in the back garden if required. Even throw in a black pudding for breakfast, and some dog treats for the whippet. Any takers?

    FA Cup 2021/22

    And pay for the reinstatement of the HS2 eastern leg in time for their journey to be more swift and pleasant. Shovels out lads...only a week and a bit to get it built for them!

    FA Cup 2021/22

    Re The continuing ECFC BCFC Saga, Exeter have announced: 1. All Bradford fans that attended the aborted game will be entitled to free admission. 2. Although all home fans will have to pay any profits from the fixture will be donated to charity. Can't say fairer than that in the circumstances I...

    FA Cup 2021/22

    From the other side of the fence, would rather they kicked us out than have to play it again. Tough, tough old December in the league coming up, so an extra game (or two) is just what we don't need!

    FA Cup 2021/22

    In answer to Wilsden Bantam: Back in May 2002 we had a couple of so-called "sugar daddies" invited into our club, bringing with them big dreams and huge promises (even though both had bad "previous" in the football business - Scarborough and Swansea) Twelve months later relegation (and possible...

    Saturday 20th November

    Can't see either of us being overly fussed on Tuesday tbh (given the ghastly draw for the FAC second round) As denzel says, for us best bet is to keep our powder dry for next Saturday and give the "hopefuls" another chance to show their credentials. Same for you??

    Shows it was a real TEAM effort?

    FA Cup 2021/22

    Probably wise advice mate. The "person" is an embarrassment to our club. Just a bit worried that he seems to "know me so well". Almost like stalking (with a seasoning of clear threats and hatred). I guess I'd better be watching my back for a while. So bye bye Laddie. Despite being, apparently...

    Friday 12th & Saturday 13th November

    A bit worried about this one. Notwithstanding the league positions it would seem from reports that Oldham put up a pretty impressive performance at Portman Road (and, arguably, should have won). While we have the millstone of the "unbeaten record" to drag around our necks (the fixture...

    FA Cup 2021/22

    I agree. I would not normally engage with DL but he threw the first firework. Henceforth I will treat him with the contempt he so richly has deserved (even on matters ECFC) Now...on to next Tuesday's replay. What do you reckon the crowd is likely to be.

    FA Cup 2021/22

    Oh dear laddo. That misguided Tory trope again? How sad. I would content that, for the SINGLE observation I was about the horrid Patel was not only demonstrated not to by "misogynistic" (not by me but by others) and could not be in any way be considered racist. The only possible group who...

    Refwatch

    Don't count your chickens. After Stockbridge today it's almost guaranteed that we'll be getting old fatty for the replay.
