  1. When you look at it like this, I realise that for the most past, I’m only desperate for promotion so we keep hold of players (including potentially Maghoma), and for the additional funds that playing in the Championship brings. While the standard down here is bad and you get too many teams spoiling games, it’s great being one of the bigger boys. Stockport, Mansfield and Wrexham all promoted. I’d do all of them aways. Few more that still need ticking off too. 15.5k season ticket holders tells you the fanbase is enjoying Evatt’s tenure. And I still hope we keep hold of him as long as possible.

  2. Took my lads Manchester United-supporting mate with us today. His dad takes him to Old Trafford a couple of times a season, but he's going to ask if he can have a season ticket at the ToughSheet when he gets home. 😁

  3. Reform? The lunatic fringe of conservative politics? Had you been championing a party closer to David Cameron/ George Osborne style Tories (even though I don't agree with them politically) I might have thought you wanted something beneficial for the country and a return to sensible politics. Reform are no more a sensible political choice than the Communist Party. Just gobshites stirring up pointless culture war bollocks the same as that twat in the lala land thread just coming from the other end of the political spectrum.

  4. Seems like the final average attendance for this season was 21080. Second best in the league behind Derby. From memory it was just shy of 19,000 last season. It's bloody impressive stuff. For most of my BWFC supporting life I'd never have dreamt we'd average that in a third tier season.

  6. People get too obsessed with the “ he’s not English he’s Turkish “ or whatever. that’s not the point, he’s a saint , the Patron saint of England ,it’s a religious day so the day is celebrated in England , and should be . Jesus wasnt English but there’s loads worship him in England religious festivals don’t hold the same party style celebrations in Protestant cultures generally historically due to idolatry, so would be more refined service rather than marching around with statues etc and wild parties , probably why St George’s day traditionally a bit low key along with the fact England and the English nationality had never really been under threat or the under dog so the need to demonstrate who they are was never felt required as it was with other nations , Ireland and st Patrick’s day is a good example of the difference there being the exact opposite. ( though the pubs used to be closed on st Patrick’s day and it was the diaspora gathering started the drinking reputation for the day) maybe people feel their culture is being taken away more these days, whether that be immigrants, “ wokeism” or whatever and want to demonstrate they are still English maybe people want to show there still an England even if the England they are celebrating never really existed anyway , more one they want to exist , who knows National days are usually independence days too, which England has never had nor needed to celebrate. end of the day, people being patriotic, having a few beers and celebrating what they perceive as good about England , no matter what they’re dressed in is no harm , as with everything it’s the line between being proud of where you are from and hating anyone not from where you are from that get blurred with some .

  7. Give over. Another negative swipe at our players. Peterborough paid £1m plus add-ons for Szmodics before selling him to Blackburn at a profit. We paid just over £300k for Charles, nobody was expecting him to be Szmodics-standard. Fuck all wrong with what we got for £300k.

  8. Does that mean that you and Spider will now refrain from commenting on Biden and Trump? Seeing as neither of you are Yanks. I would hate to think that either the orange one or the senile one are living rent free in your heads.

  9. Correct. Let's not forget how long it took Pompey, Sheff Weds etc to get out of this division. We've suffered a perfect storm as to why we probably won't go up in the autos this season. A horrific set of injuries at crucial times mixed with some in game nievety from the manager, a collection of absolute howlers and things just simply not going for us. It's football, sometimes things just don't happen.

  15. Every team outside the prem should boycott it next season. If the FA have so little regard for lower league clubs so as not to even consult them, let them see how their precious competition fairs without them.

  16. It’s important in this debate to understand the injury point isn’t somebody off twitter saying a one liner as that’s the only reason we didn’t go up automatically . But you clearly can’t dismiss it as one of the reasons when it has affected us so badly. The other one I missed out in earlier discussions is George Johnston, massive miss this season. Those stats at first glance leave you bewildered as to why we are not in the top two; goals scored, ratio of shots to goals etc etc. But they are skewed as others have pointed out by some convincing home wins. So IMO there are definite improvements to be made in areas such as; specific game preparation, in-game management from players and manager and I would like to see IE be a little more flexible with tactics/formation/recruitment and less process driven at times. But I’ve said on numerous occasions, he’s a young, passionate, educated and dedicated manager who is improving as the team/squad is year on year I’m with @Horwich you can’t deny the improvement. Might not feel like it at the moment this year, but goals, wins, points and position will all improve. And as the season comes to a conclusion we are still in with a very good chance of going up, much better prospects than previous seasons.

  18. It would be an eclectic mix, with summat for everyone. MickyD gets a pop inspired highlight While Casino's is darker and takes the audience down a different route but to finish off Gonzo provides a tearjerker (not sure where he's "going back to"? Chippy near Preston? North Stand Upper? Wembley?). And who are the other WWers accompanying him.

  19. Sad times.. some of my greatest football memories were cup replays… Newcastle trilogy being the pinnacle, anyone who hasn’t experienced the FA cup and replays before the FA ruined it has missed something very, very special.

  22. Both likely to get CL football next season due to the 5 maybe 6 qualifiers. Lazio may have something to say about Roma though yet. Bologna have been brilliant this season and Ferguson was being looked at for some big moves till his injury.

  24. Right this Jewish guy was not out for a random stroll round London he was there to provoke and get a reaction to make a point, the Police have fallen for it hook line and sinker. Tommy has done the same a couple of times, including one with his kids, where even some of his supporters thought he went too far. The full exchange with the copper lasted 15 minutes and the copper fucked up by his words for about 10 seconds of that exchange. Amazed how het up people get about this.

  26. From the BBC website...... In the original video clip shot at the march, the police officer said: "You are quite openly Jewish, this is a pro-Palestinian march. "I'm not accusing you of anything but I'm worried about the reaction to your presence." Seems sensible enough to me. Trying to keep the peace and protect this guy from possible harm.

  29. I don't think he's physical enough for this league TBH, in general play, but obviously his goal record makes up for that, certainly away from home and against the lesser sides. But what I would say if we were playing better sides and playing more on the break, like we've seen in cup games v Villa, Boro and Luton and arguably at Wembley v Plymouth, he has that ability to find the space that can give him a tap in. He scored in all 4 of those games with virtually identical goals from close range, they aren't the goals we generally see in home league games where the opposition defend en masse. So I could see a role for Charles in the championship (more so than Vic), but clearly we'd need to recruit as well.

  31. Police officers having to make snap decisions in the moment and being recorded and scrutinised every moment. It's not footballers who have 90 mins a week to get it spot on, its 40+ hours a week. Lets him past and it all kicks off, he's at fault. Tries to stop them, uses the wrong word, no idea what he might have said instead "Sorry Sir you are clearly Jewish and heading over there might invite trouble at this particular time". Going to end up with no coppers left, because the level of accountability in public service has gone barmy.

  34. Imagine being Oxford, Blackpool, Lincoln, Barnsley a.n. others and drawing Bolton in the playoffs. We're the best team in places 3-6 and we'll prove it. Could do without the 500 note layout on a Wembley day out though. COYWM bring it home

  36. I've really enjoyed this season Paul. Ok, it looks like we are coming up just short again, but we've had some great crowds with fantastic atmospheres, seen the good the bad and the ugly of our Whites 🤣. All in all, not that bad. Season ticket sales suggest we'll be getting great crowds again next season, whatever division we're in.

  45. Baxter, Santos, Sheehan, Victor All these were starters in the team that got hammered 4-0 at home by Wigan Bolton haven't failed to win automatic promotion due to injuries,They have failed because the strongest team wasn't good enough and there are better managers in the 3rd Division
