Re: Rival Watch

Clyde1998
Clyde1998 3-0 Peterborough :D

Full-time - so the max target is down to 4 (6).

No, we could still finish level with Cheltenham on 53, so if you want to ignore GD it’s still 5.

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Does the Magic Nubber take into account the fact that Burton play Cheltenham and also travel to Fleetwood? One of the teams in each match must drop two or more points in each match. That means that at least least four points cannot be counted in the overall total left to play for. Yes, because the ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

My tuppence worth! I think that the Americans (as in Wrexham) are attempting to draw locals back to the game, Wrexham has good transport links to both Liverpool and Manchester. How often can they get tickets to see the big clubs and the cost associated with this, invest in a small club with big amb...

Re: Rival Watch

For selfish reasons, I want Cheltenham to survive. If they don't schedule it during the holidays again, I might actually make it to Whaddon Lane next year.

Re: The 24/25 Season of Optimism Thread

Really need to keep this squad relatively untouched, it can only be a positive outcome. But have to be cautious, the takeover isn`t over the line yet, I wouldn`t put anything past Dai at this point. I agree though, the standard of most teams in this league has been piss poor , there`s nothing to st...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

WestYorksRoyal I also don't think you could tell the same story for Reading compared to a former mining town like Wrexham. "These middle class white collar fans just want a Premier League team they can watch again." :lol:

You'd have to get Gervaise and Merchant to produce it.

Yeah. Apparently Curo played an Isthmian League match (at 48!!) for Maldon & Tiptree as recently as last month.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If we do join the growing list of clubs with US investment, I do wonder where this is going in the long term. US sporting franchises make money, US businessmen like to make money. But very few people make money out of English football. Could we witness a moment where the penny drops and US investor...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

Having seen the very slow replay that the club posted today, I think it was smashed straight into the Lincoln player’s face.

Yeah. So if Vale draw their next match, their maximum possible points tally would drop by 2 points.

Re: Giant Ruben flag...

Mid Sussex Royal The flag is grammatically correct in Spanish.

Think "Copa Del Rey" as an example of the grammar.

Cup of *the* king?

I mean, if I can't debate obscure semantics on Hob Nob, I might come dangerously close to having to do work instead.

Re: Record Watch 23/24

If 'professional' means getting paid any amount to play, what would that leave 'semi-professional' to mean? Paid half the time? Paid in agricultural produce rather than money? I think most people understand professional to mean that the game is the player's main occupation, enabling them to dedicate...

Re: Who do we want to play next season?

rabidbee I’d like Cheltenham to stay up, because perhaps I could make that match next season. Obviously Oxford to stay down, and maybe Birmingham to come down, as I might be able to wangle an away match out of a trip to see the brother-in-law.

That's why you have clear regulations and measures in place, to make it as much as possible an objective analysis and not a subjective conclusion.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I wonder how well minor league team manage, though. At least they never have to try to compete with recently demoted NFL teams still running with an NFL-size budget.
