Re: Top 10 teams after tonight’s games, Wed Mar 29th 2017
Mint, cheers. I have to say one of my favourite things about watching football is the last day over-the-top drama-stuff (even when doing it via a highlights package a day later). You know, when they suddenly zoom over to Vicarage Road as 'there has been a goal' and the league table in the bottom rig...

Re: Top 10 teams after tonight’s games, Wed Mar 29th 2017
There was a point when I thought this division would all be sorted before the last day. Now though it looks like the final day will be total carnage. The title race could well go down to the final day, and with one point separating 3rd-7th we are going to need a live league table on the day to make ...

Re: Best ever Darlo players (Northern Echo)
There was some good discussion on Twitter about this over the weekend (it's a social media platform, bga :D ). One thing it did do for me was confirm something I always thought - that we have never been blessed with great midfielders. I have been watching since the early 90's and, compared to defend...

Re: Early Bird Season Ticket Info to be announced
Hmmm, not thrilled with this to be honest: Firstly, they can't call it a price freeze if prices go up after the early bird deadline (and the wording implies they will). It is an early bird discount, but not a price freeze. April 15th is far too early for the deadline: - The season ain't even over m...

Re: Transfer
I don't like the fact that we paid a substantial fee for Hardy, I will admit that. However I have to let that go as I have no idea what it takes in financial terms to truly compete at the level we're playing at. What I am more concerned about is the perception of fans as our long-term investors. In ...

Re: Transfer
If there is one thing more ridiculous than us spending £14k on Hardy at the time, it is the idea that Buxton are willing to do the same / similar now.

What does your made-up book of Law say about that Spen?
Robbie is right, they had better get it done. Every game we miss is lost revenue (for both sides of course).

Re: Crowdfunding for new players....

Get your point about the Salford and Halifax matches being likely to be 1,500+, but wouldn't we rather have 3,000 for both? You are absolutely right, it would be better to get there earlier. I was just pointing out that a minor delay would not be as bad in financial terms as it may first appear. Pl...

Too far with some of that language methinks Divas.

Re: EURO 2016
Let's be honest; Wilshere is no surprise at all so it staggers me that people are acting like it is. He was always going to go and, if fit, can potentially be the sort of player who could change a game from the bench. Generally I think Hodgson has done as much as he could do with what was available ...

Re: New shirts
A late connection with Virgin Trains has caused a delay to local services. I suppose the new shirts will turn up late as usual (after Summer holidays) and maybe in drib and drab deliveries of different sizes. Old shirts will have to do at Saltburn and St Tropez. On the brighter side, late signed sp...

There would only be grounds for complaint if they were denied the chance to do the same thing if faced with the same problem.
