I can't remember if we ever sang Nice One Cyril even when Cyril Knowles was still manager! His popularity is down to the excellence of his spell in charge here, coupled with the sad circumstances of its end. He took over when we were shot to pieces under Bob Moncur's management in 1989. We...

The top end of Lincs is included in the Yorkshire and Humber region rather than East Mids, though I would imagine Scunny is close to the border between the two.

I plan on heading down for the reverse fixture with FGR, but I'll almost certainly miss the game next week. Music festival up in Newcastle between Fri and Sun. Unless there's a very convenient gap in the stage times I'll be in the Cluny rather than the Vic.

That record of 8 straight wins without conceding was a funny one. It took me ages to confirm it as a (joint) record. The Football League didn't know. I eventually did it myself. I got hold of a spreadsheet of all time FL results, updated it with the last 4 or 5 seasons, and found the answer...

Agreed. The bugler was as excellent as he was unexpected. I didn't even know we had buglers in the town. Burglars, maybe...

Definately more than I was expecting to make that journey on a November Friday. Fair play to them.

The bench was awful wasn't it, at least in an attacking sense. Joe Grey was already on the pitch, but you look at Sweeney's other options. Apart from Fondop there was Crawford, Smith, two defenders and a keeper. Slim pickings if you're chasing a goal.

No complaints about that. The great home run had to take a dent at some point, and there were a couple of games earlier in the sesson that we could've lost but didn't. I was impressed with Newport, particularly defensively. We were far from terrible and had a lot of the ball in good areas and...

Bromley just released a statement saying that there has been NO approach for Woodman from Hartlepool

Oh I definitely expect that. What I meant was there will be no probing questions, no insight, nothing that could be viewed as negative in any way. That won't stop Singh taking swipes at any target as he sees fit, and listening to one of his thin-skinned tirades will likely be tedious as fuck...

Sadly I expect Chandy's Q&A to be nothing more than a cosy PR piece with vetted questions.

As I understand it, Sweens isn't particularly keen but you never know what will happen if we do well in this next few weeks. Also, his post-match comments about there being more to the Challinor departure than has been reported, and that there are "two sides to every story" will not have gone...

He'd be in the conversation. We don't have the most distinguished of histories. We've only had five promotions. We've never won a divisional title, and we've only once been successful in the playoffs (last season with DC) Looking at our best managers from the last 60 years, you have Brian...

You've spelt "refreshingly" wrong ;) A couple of years ago in the National League, if you'd hived off the 12 most southerly clubs into their own mini-league, you'd have had to leave Boreham Wood behind in the north!

I'm happy to wake up on a new day after 36 hours of our fans soiling themselves in public. A bunch of rarfs (hopefully not adults) actually set fire to a Dave Challinor flag behind the main stand at our pizza match last night. Yes, really. We hadn't mustered anything remotely resembling a...

Our lot didn't read any boycott memo. Attendance against Everton U21s was 1990. Sorry.

I'm not going again until we appoint Ian Sharps

Dave Challinor confirmed as Stockport manager. Two and a half year deal. Blimey, they kept that one quiet!

I'm surprised that Graham Kavanagh and Ian Harte are not on the list. Raj Singh's golf chums aren't they?

We've played Stockport 140 times ourselves. Only Darlington and Rochdale have played Pools more often. Apart from that short-lived dart at 2nd tier football they've been a similar standard for decades.
