Brighton are the paragons of this. As well as supporting us now, over the years they've taken coachloads of supporters to "Fans United" days to support the like of York, Cambridge, Macclesfield and probably a couple of others I can't remember. Haven't seen any coachloads of Brighton fans ...

With previous accusations at DBWD that they have only taken an interest in other clubs financial predicaments because of the situation we are in, what is the future plan for SBWD when our mess is resolved and our future is looking more rosy? There are, and will be, many more clubs in financial trou...
I dunno I doubt the atmosphere at any club has ever been tangibly increased by a bout of note taking. It's not so much that you can't teach this stuff, it's that you shouldn't have to. It's more the point about focus on supporting the team - don't focus on away fans [in my example above, there were...
I was at the Rangers-Ross County game last Wednesday. The Rangers equivalent behind the goal were highly impressive: singing for the whole ninety minutes; almost no repetition of songs; were loud throughout the game and the events on the pitch had no impact on their support. Would be good if Club 1...
I've been told that Carlisle were planning on moving the pitch north back in the 90s, when that stand was built, but ran out of money or will to redevelop the entire stadium, leading to the misalignment with the pitch. I think the reasoning was to move the south stand (behind the goal) away from th...
Brunton Park is a lovely old ground, maybe the best traditional ground left in England - I go there a fair bit. In terms of pubs, there's a pub right next to the station where home fans go, and I have seen away fans in there - it all seems pretty good-natured, the Carlisle fans are a decent bunch. F...
We need to win as many games as soon as possible and secure our L1 status - we don't know what the twat of an owner will/or won't do so we need as many points on the board (just typing that shows how low we've sunk). Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. Yeh, a relegation battle to th...
I hope you manage to find yourselves owners as decent as ours. You had the best owner it was possible to have, after so much hard work and dedication from so many fans - and then you voted to sell to an outsider. I find that decision absolutely astounding and so very short-sighted. We had no future...
It's easy to keep competing before you get promotion or win the title - it's afterwards where it makes a difference. It's inevitable to relax that little bit once everything's confirmed.
Are we (Reading) responsible for coming up with that expression? Football has an ownership problem No, it's been around for a good 15+ years. The FSA referenced Reading when they mentioned it But if its been around for ages I obviously had no interest in it as it wasn't affecting my club! That's th...
14/2/2002 A drab 0-0 draw away at Swindon in horrible conditions. Sammy Igoe sent off late in the first half, two Swindon players sent off in two minutes right at the end. A match on a Thursday, just three days after losing to Coppell's Brighton at the Withdean in similarly pissing down rain, at th...
