Re: Stadium matters

I see what you mean. it doesn't stop Us having to go somewhere else though at the natural end of the lease, and from memory there's a period you have to have had the asset used by the community for the specific purpose in the previous years for it to apply. so yes, it does devalue in the sense that ...

Re: Covvy break

So players: A rare mistake from Eastwood, but otherwise another solid performance. Not impressed with Edwards, who offers nothing going forwards and prone to errors at the back. Lundstram is a shadow of last years' player. MacDonald offered absolutely nothing. Taylor is not a left winger... largely...

Re: Stadium matters

we're not immovable though, are we? how long left on the lease now?

that land without a sitting tenant would be absolute ambrosia for a property investor.

Re: BRAD all over!

I was very impressed with bradford. a defence we struggled to trouble, a midfield that worked hard, good on the ball, and pacy. I can see why appleton drew comparisons, but thought they had more pace throughout their side and actually a bit more quality on the ball. the number three at left back loo...

Re: Stadium matters

Do OxVox really think this is going to happen, or are they just using it to boost their profile/membership? I very much doubt oxvox would do this just as a profile-boosting exercise so think we have to take it seriously. to me, a community trust would not be putting the ground in the club's hands, ...

no, I don't think they're trying. I just think we're running out of options.

Re: Bramall Lane

A guy I work with is a Coventry fan and he says Martin is very good and a lot of the fans were confused as to why he was let go so that suggests he either injured (hopefully not permanently) or not match fit rather than not up to it, seeing as he played for a team who were near the top of this leag...

Re: Bramall Lane

I enjoyed my trip to bramall lane, football aside. the football was a troubling experience. even before skarz was injured, the defence looked suspect to me, making basic mistakes with little or no pressure applied. skarz and ruffels can be excused as they were playing out of position, but once we in...

Re: Grizzle Rovers

a similarly dispirited yellow after that trip. all I would add is that my grumpiness was increased by seeing james clarke and matt taylor, two players we discarded at conference level, showing Us they could cut it at this level. congratulations to them for proving Us wrong, but it stuck in my craw t...

Re: Chedsterfield

Gary Johnson, the Cheltenham Town boss has always said that there are winning draws and losing draws. However not sure how I would categorize yesterday's parity! a drawing draw?.. :wink: thought the score reflected the play across the whole game. as others have said, dunkley's injury weakened us si...

Re: Where will we finish?

lower-mid possibly relegation battle for me. we've gone from being a side with a top budget for our league to one where as far as I can gather we're likely to be lower-mid in league one. we've got a side that is clearly going to need some time to gel and is unlikely to hit the ground running and bui...

Re: LCFC

an enjoyable evening in the sunshine, I went for the opportunity to applaud the unlikely champions and to see our new boys, but i'm not sure what I really learnt about Us. I too was pleasantly surprised by giles. i'd sort of filed his signing away in a category of 'novelty signing that won't come to...

Re: O'Dowda

F-ing Mark Ashton. I think it's probably more like 'f-ing martin o'neill'... there was a pointed comment by callum when he joined up with the ireland camp about everyone he played with other than keane being at premiership or championship clubs. I can well imagine he was told that if he wanted to b...

Re: Is anyone else.....

Seconded. And, for me, this is probably the biggest negative for this season. Right from Day One against Crawley we have shown ourselves to be largely incapable of breaking down sides who come with that sort of game plan. After that match I said to several people that it's no good bemoaning the opp...
