He started seven games after he came back from injury, scored three goals and assisted four. Scored the crucial goal against Bradford in the playoff semi-final and forced the own goal in the final. If that's him being very ordinary imagine him on form.

Who cares what Celtic fans think all I know is he was excellent for us and It would be great if he signed for us so fuck em.

Christ almighty. We giving up on players after two friendlies then?

Good luck to the lad and I hope he can recover both form and confidence at his new club. Like Victor who’s also there now I wish them both well at a good and growing Bromley.

Forss isn’t worth £30k a year; get rid now

Albies 5th birthday today and going to the match with his Dad whilst I’m at work. If you see him please say happy birthday and give him a high 5, he will be buzzing!

And as always the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Football fans do love an extreme. FWIW, I like him and hope we get him. But all this building him up to be the next Andy Walker (more elsewhere than on here) and some kind of saviour is setting him up for a massive fail. He’ll have less space, less chances up against better defenders and score less goals. Then we’ll have to deal with “Kenny’s not as good as he was last season and he’s failed to live up to his potential”

Yeah but at least we can discuss actual football that’s happening on the pitch that’s doomed, instead of finance and transfer policy guesswork that’s repeatedly argued as fact 😴

And claiming it was a typo Twice He could have just said a bloke from Bradford sent it and he was just passing it on But to say it to a Bradford fan on here, who could have had a family member die, is beyond anything about Widdecombe The fact he lied about it is telling Though he's gone all woke now and gets upset about jokes

But the Co-op is an all year round dedicated indoor concert venue, the only one it’s competing against really is the AO. It raised an eyebrow because I too thought there wouldn’t be the need with already having the AO but it’s taken share. You cannot compare that to our place though. Other than being a dedicated music venue, it’s in Manchester!! I don’t care that we’re “20 minutes down the road”, being in Manchester vs. being in Bolton counts for a hell of a lot. If it were that easy and profitable to turn a football stadium into a concert venue, do you not think the likes of the Coates at Stoke, who basically have unlimited money in Championship terms, would have done it ages ago? He’s here for one thing and one thing only, for Bolton to be a premier league football team. It really shouldn’t take much to realise that it is the only way in which Bolton Wanderers is an attractive and valuable football club. P.s - if there is a roof on it in the next 25 years I’ll bungee jump from it naked.

Normal human beings who haven't been brainwashed by Nigel Farage and GBNews.

From my experience Celtic fans make United fans look like Mensa candidates. Share about half a dozen brain cells between the lot of em.

Timely reminder - Don’t do twitter / X folks.

His missus (Steph Houghton) has just announced she's pregnant with their kid. Didn't play much for us unfortunately, think it was just 5 games before he was "injured" and then diagnosed. Great news for them though, appears Darby is now using a chair to get around. Once a white always a white.

too much worrying about friendlies, I'm just glad there's been no new injuries

Hang on. So it wasn’t a typo? I’m shook

opinions eh. Sheehan's been decent and our wingers have looked lively so far - even if it's not come off a couple of times for the French lad. I reckon you'd 'identified the issues' before kick off if I'm honest.

I am long enough a BWFC supporter now to know there are going to be decent spells of next season when we are jjust going to have to wear disappointment. Its all about having the right mindset from the off. The aim is 50 points and fourth bottom or betterr. It is definitely the case that we need significant further strengthening to equip us for that battle. But week by week between August and May we need to individually manage the lows and turn up on Saturday and Tuesday and get right behind the team. Anything other just further reduces our collective changes of getting a foothold in this league. If we survive that first season back I do think as a club and support base we have other gears to go up. We have proved that so often before. But first we have the 2026/7 season to battle our way through.

I can't be the only one getting a little anxious about the upcoming season? As things stand, we're gonna get hammered quite often.

Small mercies. There's a Championship game at 12pm most Sundays, we've avoided that graveyard slot (Stockport away last year was a 1st day of the season low). And there are a few Monday nights too, Friday night is annoying but better than Monday and we're spared those. Another fun Sky slot is 8pm Saturday. Wrexham (obviously) have got all of the above by 5th September and another Friday game 11th Sep.

I'd put it quite a bit higher than the least of our problems. Simons was barely deemed good enough to play in L1 post-January. Our record with him on the pitch from November to the end of the regular season was terrible. He's young so I'm not writing him off forever, but it has to be a concern to have him starting games in the Championship.

Anyone told them the fan march to the ground from the town centre is 6 miles? That's a lot of side to side bouncing.

Whatever think about Burnhams policies he is a million times better than Starmer at getting positive stuff out there. Today he has been talking about the next stage of the nuclear deterrent that has been dragging on since the Blair days. But has made the story about getting young folk into apprenticeships and skilling up the work force of British people. This fits with the stuff earlier in the week about vocational stuff in schools. Starmers speech I imagine would have been about showing how serious we are on the world stage. Which might be true but it would hardly be engaging or relevant to most people.

The Swan Barristers The Venue Bar Level Nightclub fuck me

I think my biggest concern is we have quite a favorable fixture list to start the season and it is worrying that any new signings from this point aren't going to be at all up to speed in time for some of these "easier" games to get us off to a good start. It might well be that some of our bigger or better signings won't be made until right up to the deadline as players become available, but that would lead to them immediately having to face Millwall away and then West Ham at home. It's certainly not ideal.

Grief is the price to pay for love. *Jimmy Carr Learn to live with it and remember there's no rule book. Sorry for your loss pal, embrace that black dog and kick it down the fucking path.

Sorry for your loss. You can grieve and still be strong though mate. There is a real argument that showing your feelings and emotions at this time is a lot better than ‘holding it all in and keeping a stiff upper lip’. If you are trying to do that others might follow your lead and it just leads to a load of folk with pent up emotions. I am not saying go all scouse but equally do not be all German !!

Squad numbers, 9 and 19 are both free !

Lots of possibilities here. “Euro Pacific Soccer Tournament for Egocentric Incompetent Narcissists” Cup.

tickets too cheap, obvs

McAtee featured, and got an assist, in the game that I'll remember as long as I live. For that reason, I'll never want anything but the best for him and be chuffed if he stayed and stepped up to the championship challenge.

Tits?

Set him up an account on here.

These Americans main business model is Sports/Concert stadia. Venkys is Chicken food production These Americans own Football and Ice Hocky brands. Chansiri is Tuna food canning Why are people bringing other clubs owners into the conversation.... The Americans are specialising in their own business. They are the people we need to attract

Enjoyed that today. Thought we played well and was impressed with Davies’ composure, Stephenson’s energy, Dong’s confidence and speed (reminded me a bit of ACD, albeit not at his level) and Gale’s tracking back. Sheehan was stand out for me - ran the show for us. The lad and I got a pic with Big Sam before the game and saw Reid afterwards. Mini me’s highlight was when someone held the door open for him to leave 1877 and he looked back (mouth ajar) to see it was McGinley with a big grin on his face.

Schuey is ruthless. He knows what he needs to do. Our best manager since Allardyce

He might be but that's a strange comment based on today's game. If anyone ran the first half, he did. I don't remember strength coming into play once, he was easily the most comfortable in possession on the pitch.

I’m not saying that they won’t look to make some improvements to the stadium but it’s not a good return on their investment. There are 2 months in the year where we can make money on concerts and even then, we have to compete against the AO arena, Co-op, Etihad, old Trafford cricket ground, Hill Dickinson etc etc which are all far more attractive. Let’s say we managed to be successful and attracted 5 big concerts in those 2 months. This is complete pie in the sky but you’re not adding more than £2-5m of profit from those considering the costs that would go into it. Nice to have - absolutely, worth the required investment and the way that these Yanks reckon they will make their big money with us - no chance. You could instead stick the money into the team to try and get lucky and hit 8th in the league and reach the playoffs offs. Who knows from there, we all know it becomes a bit of a lottery. If it all goes right and we reach the promised land then these guys have just 100x their money. That’s what they want, not reducing our losses whilst pumping capex in to do so. It absolutely makes sense that they will use whatever nouse they have to improve commercial revenues - frankly it reduces the amount of their own money they have to pump in. Anyone thinking that this is the main reason for buying us though is mad. World class concert venue for 2 months and a L1 football club for the other 10 is no use to anyone, especially them.

I’m doing my best 😩

My extensive research on the Oak View Group (reading their Wikipedia page) suggests their involvements are entirely based on sporting venues and concert arenas. So I don't get why people are questioning that. There's nothing that would lead you to believe their business is about spunking money on football players. Ultimately, how many football clubs bang on about staging concerts and becoming a 365 day a year venue? How many have minor shareholders who have links to a shit load of money? How many would like to be Premier League clubs? The answer is lots of them. There's nothing particularly revolutionary here, just slow and steady attempts to maximise our revenue. That's not a bad thing at all, but it won't lead to Duberry turning up with Mbappe to play Preston.

Lad was proper greedy at times. the amount of times he was going for personal glory rather than teeing one of his team mates up who were in a better position was ridiculous. Soon as he starts running everything is telegraphed for a cut in and shot to the keepers left

aye, good luck to them I hope they beat Stockport, Wigan and Blackpool, amongst others just that the difference between winning that play off final or not was West Ham away or Bromley away

I'm so fucking glad we're not playing Bromley next season (not because Taylor and Vic play for them either)

@Eddie has it correct. Their best ROI will include ensuring we stay in the Championship the first time of asking and then push off from there.

The best way to improve the ‘fan experience’ is to win more , especially in injury time

The premier club thing is just corporate speak If it meant Premier League, it'd read Premier League

😂😂 we’re not hosting 11pm tennis matches! All this talk of big ideas with concerts - @jmjhb has pointed it out, we’re worth a lot less if we get relegated and a fuck load more if we get promoted, regardless of whether we get a Harry Styles residency through the summer. I’ve no doubt that they’ll use any expertise they have to increase none football revenues but their number one focus to make our football club worth more than it is today (obviously their aim) is to get us promoted. I would therefore suggest that any money invested is going on players and football infrastructure and not a roof over the Toughsheet!

I just Flatley deny this
