Anyone have a figure for Northampton at Oldham

`I think I passed most of them, shame you couldn't get a result ;) Anyway 309 Port Vale at the County Ground

Coventry should have been ahead in the first half, poor defending gifting chances but matched by poor finishing. However, goal aside, odd that the highlights stopped after about 30 mins. We had a couple of half chances in the first half, Rodgers shooting just over (albeit the keeper had it...

About where i'd expect for us, top 10 in league one. Had a few years in Division 2 & one season above, and four or five years in Division 4 but most of the time in the third tier. Interesting to see Tranmere sat between Bournemouth & Wigan

I believe it was the whole FL, so the championship clubs had a say despite it not having any impact on them. The decision itself is horse shit, and I for one wouldn't go to watch if the game was played in my back garden

Any chance we will get more than 1,200 next season.

On the City & Rovers front, I remember going to watch a Glos v Somerset Sunday league game in Bristol several years ago (Botham was playing so will give you a clue as to how long ago). Anyway it pissed down most of the day so we spent a large part of it in the Jessops Tavern, and the...

At least he knows how to score against the Scum :)

I guess being old enough to remember the 70s & 80s we had some interesting games against City. I remember the game at Swindon when the ref had to take the teams off early due to trouble. And the game at Ashton Gate at the end of the season where we kept City out of the play-offs to let (of all...

As it happens I've never lived in Swindon, but was born & bred in Wiltshire so Swindon was my local team growing up. But to answer your question no, I would rather live anywhere in Wiltshire than up here

Is this so Adkins can go somewhere else in League 1 and get them promoted instead of United

I consoled myself with the fact that with Oxford & Rovers coming up it's two local games next season, however from over here Rovers is my second longest away trip of the season (assuming Plymouth don't get promoted) and Oxford is farther than Chesterfield (just). Sometimes it's a bit shit being...

The 1025 figure was the one announced at the game

Swindon 4 Arsenal 3 (League Cup Qtr-Final) Bristol City 0 Swindon 4 (mostly because BCFCTV (otherwise known as HTV) had built it up beforehand that City were going to teach us a footballing lesson). Swindon 2 Gillingham 0 (Less because it was Gillingham, more because it was the first season of...

Being relegated from the Old First Division without playing a game

The highlight of the game was the comedy gold sequence where Fleetwood hit the woodwork three times in the space of about 10 seconds, and then blazed wide. Can see why they are struggling with finishing like that. A half decent side would have scored at least four against us.

Also helps that it was about as local a Saturday game that we have had all season

First home clean sheet of the season :D

We played Mansfield away in April 86, the day we won the Fourth Division title. I remember seeing coaches being stopped at junctions up & down the motorway, with the OB looking for coach loads of pickets. Always made me laugh in later years when Mrs Thatch claimed to not be able to stop English...

Back in the good old days, when Town occasionally won an FA Cup tie, we drew Newcastle away. Having despatched First Division opposition (Norwich City) in the 3rd Round, expectations were high. A football Special Train was laid on for the trek north, and so we boarded with much anticipation...
