How has Troy been for you lot? He was sheer class at City - I would have him back tomorrow.

While fans complaining about referees often comes across as tedious whinging, I do have to agree that a lot of refs and linesmen in League 2 (I refuse to use the new-fangled term) have been increasing levels of dogsh*t for some time now. While I have some sympathy for the abuse they receive they...

At least Bromley makes some sort of logical sense. Located in Greater London, with no league clubs I can think of lower than the championship nearby. Of course Palace would be raining on ther parade once they progressed past a certain point, but they should be able to sustain League 2 football...

One portaloo next to the pitch for 600 City fans at Forest Green's old ground

Thanks a million. Appreciate the kind words. I was on the old forum and wondered where it had gone.

More fool them. If ever Marx was proved right about the concept of false consciousness it can be seen in the phenomenon of some fans sneering at fan ownership and seeking the bogus and hugely dangerous quick fix of the Sugar Daddy. Too many modern fans eye the glitz and glamour and forget that...

They are actively seeking to move - in fact at the end of last year they had identified a site in Stroud, but faced competition from some incinerator or other. I'm not sure what happened. Even if they do move Stroud is still pretty small - smaller than Fleetwood for example. That area is Rugby...

They were a very good side challenging in the Conference and pushing for the League. It was quite funny really - we played them at their place early in the season their money ran out and in a similar fashion to Grays they ran rings around us. Fast forward a few months and their financial crisis...

The stadium is an interesting saga and to me shows the folly and the extreme danger of the contemporary and relatively recent innovation of the pernicious Sugar Daddy model that we have inflicted on the world of football. Grays are an interesting example as they seem to have experienced both...

Ahh Grays - we knew them well. They eventually became one of our main rivals believe it or not - we actually had a 6'000 crowd for a top-of the table game against them once, which is exceptional for us. The first time we came across them was during the season they obliterated Conference South...

Good post. I do remember Histon. I still had Setanta at the time and enjoyed laughing at the Turks - IIRC Histon met them in the playoffs. I tend to keep an eye on the Conference a bit ever since we spent some time there - it might not be fashionable to say so but there were some things I...

Comparable in size to Morecambe and Dagenham? You must be joking - you've obviously never been to Forest Green's ground! Nailsworth is little more than a village. By way of comparison it's only a fifth of the size of flaming Fleetwood - the entire population is roughly the size of Tranmere's...
