A very dark day. Gutted for Bury supporters. I imagine a number of other clubs are living hand to mouth too. I doubt my own club is self-supporting as we seem to be subsidised by a Turkish steel magnate. If he were to withdraw, who's to say there would be another buyer?
It's only about...
With Macclesfield and Kamikaze County drawing, they could be three priceless points. County down to 10 men at our place.
I've become so absorbed in this thread, I'll probably stick around for the duration. I'll probably need the practice for next season.
Although we have to play them yet, I would be sorry to see Notts County, a founder member, go out of the league. I had no issue with them once they sacked Kewelless. It turned out they did us a favour - took away a pillock and possibly gave us some money for the privilege.
Indeed, this isn't an extension of our pitch issues from several years ago because we fixed those.
Covering the pitch and having warm air blowers under the covers for the most vulnerable parts is probably as much as anyone can do without breaking the bank to cater for a once in five years scenario.
I imagine some will hear it elsewhere, but if this post stops someone travelling then it's worth making.
Pitch frozen in spite of being covered since Thursday. Went to minus 6 last night.
Yes, three hard-earned points, and it could have gone either way really. I think they will have an eye on the play-offs come the end of season. Hopefully, we will too.
I thought that the first 20 minutes was the best bit from a Wycombe perspective as we were very slow playing our way into the game. I felt it was a game that could easily have gone either way, especially as our goal came about due to a defender's lapse.
Yes, it is funny watching Akinfenwa. He...
Funny what can be done with words, isn't it?
Proposal: Rename the national League as League Three (or whatever fancy name they cook up) and kick the lowest sixteen clubs in the National League into obscurity. All achieved while simultaneously lopping nearly one sixth from most clubs' gate...
Memorable because it didn't happen :)
When we won (aka bought) the Confertence title a few years ago, Luton were the team who we played after clinching it. Their manager ruled that there would be no guard of honour.
I can understand it though. Luton were still fighting for a play off spot and...
At the start of the season I predicted 16th.
As of this weekend we are ... 16th.
I'm not unhappy about that as we looked in danger of going into freefall, so am happy to take pretty much anything that doesn't involve a second consecutive relegation.
New owners looming:
"We know who you are,
We know who you are ... "
At least there's less mystery this time.
Recent years have turned me into a sceptic and a cynic. Hopefully, the goal is for something more sustainable rather than a few years flash-in-the-pan. Not that I'm ungrateful as the...
Well, I used to play at school alongside some of the Crawley team :) - but I'm not sure you could call them footballers. Some of them were part of the team in our 11 point season way back in the Southern League days :) .
Apart from that, I had a cup of tea in a cafe with Bobby Tambling way back...
Well I'm not going to sit in my greenhouse throwing stones after what happened with us a couple of winters ago. I do sympathise. It shoudn't be forgotten that Accrington are having to continue paying wages whie having no matchday income. That can cause cashflow problems. Also, when the games...
