More eating places in the centre- we went to PizzaExpress - but that's only cos most of ours are out of town. Walked up the main road from the centre to the ground and back round the rear of the Rugby ground, it didn't get any better. Some strange folk as well presumably many working in them huge sheds by the M1. Shame I don't vape I could have stocked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son #1 has lived in Northampton for 8 years. When he arrived it was an OK centre with that square being a very large, varied open market. There was a Debenhams, Kendal's, large M&S & a lot of local non-chains. It's been devastated by a large out of town shopping zone on top of the general change in retail. The place seems to be the extreme end of London commuting & the London diaspora for being able to buy houses at a reasonable rate & a lot of BAME are newly there. Weekends It's become a clubbing centre for out of London mobs. What should be, & was, a very nice Market Town has been hollowed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham when I moved there with work in the early 80’s was a lovely town, big minster fronting a large square with lots of timber framed buildings. All the usual big shops were there, M&S, Next, Woolies as well as independent department stores but then they built Meadowhall in Sheffield, which should have been at Parkgate in Rotherham but they switched at the last minute so the council built a Retail park on it and offered all the TC businesses cheap rates, hence everything moved. Add the loss of good Coal and steel waged jobs and there you have it. Very sad really it’s now just a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 5 hours ago, Cheese said: Depends what you consider "battered", but going off the logic that Carlisle "battered" us at home, I'll assume it's winning by 2 goals or more. Bolton Wanderers 3–0 Lincoln City Cheltenham Town 0–3 Bolton Wanderers Bolton Wanderers 3–1 Fleetwood Town Wycombe 2–4 Bolton Wanderers Charlton Athletic 0–2 Bolton Wanderers Shrewsbury Town 0–2 Bolton Wanderers Bolton Wanderers 7–0 Exeter City Fleetwood Town 0–2 Bolton Wanderers Carlisle United 1–4 Bolton Wanderers Obviously, you can also "batter" someone and only win by 1 goal, or not even win. That's just football. Interesting stats (to me!). We seem to do it in batches of form - 1st 3 games of season, then none till end Oct when we won 4 games out of 5 by 2 and won the other 1-0. Two welcome more recent one's albeit against very poor opposition (nobody looked worse than Exeter on that day though). It bears out what @Greg_BWFC was saying, that every home game bar Exeter since August has been on a knife-edge till the death (Carlisle got their 3rd in injury time). Another wierd thing about this season is not one decisive late goal at home, unlike Barnsley and Derby who seem to get a lot of late goals we've got our winning goals much earlier. No later dramas for or against, that has to be fairly unique for us so well into February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 6 hours ago, gonzo said: They have their form was shot at for a bit. We've at least managed to claw some points in amongst the madness. Their recent games have been kind. Northampton at home and away games at Fleetwood, Carlisle and Port Vale is a dream set fixtures, and they only won the aways 1-0. For me it doesn't say they are back on form as much as it reflects the easier fixtures. They'll probably win their next 3 (Cambridge & Reading home, Charlton away) and that's why anything other than 6 points this week probably takes Pompey away from us realistically, even if they have injuries and aren't playing well.

Once they get the next 3 out of the way, I think they’ve probably got the toughest run in. There’s not many ‘easy’ ones left in there and with the amount of injuries they’ve got I wonder / hope it will catch up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only consolation is that we are still going up to the last minute, and mostly look capable of scoring, if not looking likely to score.

Also the ref was behind it so you would of thought the 4th official had a better Vue than him and he totally ignored is advice telling him it’s not a red card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
