    1827 attendance in northern league 2nd division

    I absolutely love this. I stopped being an armchair fan many years ago now and started watching my local non league club for a lot of the reasons you list. It was football how it should be. Our recent rise has been bittersweet for me because, while its amazing what we've achieved, a large...

    Albion v Athletic

    Bloody good performance from us I thought. Really pleased for Cloughie and the lads especially considering that, like for like, Wigan had better players in most positions on the pitch last night. I do get the feeling that a more experienced manager would have had the league sewn up for them by...

    Burton vs Barnsley

    You're right. Burton Albion should be pissing this league. I miss the free flowing attacking football of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Anyone we beat before he left can attest to the fact that we looked every bit a top 2 team back then. It's not like he fucked off to a bigger club that paid him much...

    1FF's L1 Team of the Year - Goalkeeper

    I hope Shane's other half doesn't read that. Well, that's if she's not on another message board somewhere blaming Nigel Clough for something. Jordan Archer

    Is your club equipped for being promoted? And at what price

    Our record signing was about £35k, we struggle to get more than 3000 home supporters through the turnstiles even though we're the cheapest to watch in L1, you could probably fit all our season ticket holders on a couple of coaches and our previous manager's annual salary at QPR is probably...

    Yeah, he's out of contract along with about three quarters of our squad. I think it's likely he'll sign for you. He deserves it I think. He's been with us a long time now but never nailed down a first team place under Rowett or Hasselbaink so there's clearly something about Sheridan that's...

    I didn't say we don't need him. I said he'd have been better off at Oldham. Not only does their manager clearly know how to get the best out of a talented player but I've a feeling he doesn't get cries of "bloody rubbish" if he makes a slight error or ironic cheers when he gets substituted...

    Love the hypocrisy from our supporters on this one. When he went out on loan no one could've given two shits about him. Now they're calling the manager all the c*** under the sun for letting him go :bang: Sorry mate. Personally I think he'd have been better off at Oldham.

    Stickied What are you currently watching?

    Glad I stuck with Vinyl. The "Ernst" episode blew me away. Just watched the first episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead. Silly but enjoyable. Exactly what you'd expect an Evil Dead show to be like. Glad they didn't fuck with the formula although while the special effects in the films were ropey yet...

    I think lack of investment was simply down to the chairman wanting to make sure we're alright financially if we don't go up. Virtually the whole squad is out of contract in the summer and we're belt tightening now as it is. I don't think we can spend money on a possible promotion when it will...

    Scunthorpe vs Burton

    For the record I thought it was fairly even. We've got absolutely nothing up top though whereas Scunny clearly have. Dubious refereeing decisions going either way, pretty standard for this league. Scunny were brilliant first 20 minutes of the 2nd half and, as scrappy as their winner was, it...

    Scunthorpe vs Burton

    Told ya we'd lose 1-0. I don't blame Clough for anything. I think the limitations of the squad were covered up by having a very good player up top bailing us out. Nasser's goals and assists must've been worth at least 20 points this season. When you haven't got the money to replace that...

    I totally agree. The only team that looks like they want 2nd place is Bradford and I think they'll get it.

    Scunthorpe vs Burton

    Them 1 - 0 Us. Same as last time we visited Scunny. We're by no means pretty much up. Barnsley, Wigan and Gillingham are three out of our next four games and recent results have caused sections of our tinpot support to turn on the manager. Defeat today and there will be effigies waiting for...

    Moving in...

    Don't let the table fool you. There's no way on earth we're a promotion team. We had one player that separated us from the rest and we sold him in January plus we forced to reduce our squad size. Since then we've played a few teams at the right time to keep us in the top two but we now look...

    Beer v Black pudding

    I don't think our arse has gone. I think we're levelling out about 10 games too late. You'd struggle to find many opposition supporters that have actually watched us at any point during the season who would say we look like genuine automatic promotion contenders. Budget limitations of a non...

    Beer v Black pudding

    If Bury are capable of keeping Beavon and Duffy quiet then they'll get something. I'd be inclined to go for a 0-0 since I've already predicted we'll draw all our remaining home games.

    You'd be amazed at how few of our lot think that. There's an "element" amongst our lot that thought he left us in the lurch first time round, never should've come back and is doing his level best to screw promotion up for us this time round. He was getting absolute dog's abuse Monday night both...

    They can (almost) get away with Roman winning the title if it's not on last. HHH vs Reigns third last match, Women's title or the Battle Royal 2nd last and Hell In A Cell last. That way Reigns can win, they can fuck him off backstage with the title relatively quickly and cut to a promo when...

    The title will be Wigan's. If either Walsall or Gillingham can get to 86 points then they'll beat us to 2nd place. 85 might even do it because we haven't got the firepower to improve our goal difference all that much. I can't see us getting any more than 10 points from the remaining 7 games...
