#AgainstModernFootball It’s a price you have to pay to succeed (in all but a very few examples), and I’ll bet you’d change your views if Richard Branson bought Us out and named the place the Virgin Arena after he’d tarted it up a bit on and off the field. Well, no, I wouldn't actually. You might be...

Now the Daily Mail ask where the Lenagans where when his Warriors were doing their stuff. Lol - free tickets from Firoka perhaps? Thanks for posting that link, Snake. This bit interested me as I was hitherto unaware of it: Lenagan is also chairman of League Two football team Oxford United and an FA...

Glad to see Cambridge win today. Could be a fun awayday, with good shopping and art for the missus. So good, you said it thrice. Glad to see them back too - they deserve it, given how far ahead of the chasing pack they finished, and for having given Luton a decent run for their money. It also will ...

Today has seen the offer of a New(ey) contract. Not sure I would have made the same call if I was in Waddock's shoes - but it may be reduced terms as a backup etc etc.

I wonder when we'll see the first of the new arrivals? July, probably, if previous years are anything by which to go...

I can see us developing a real rivalry with Stoke B. With their fiesty fan base and travelling support, it'll be a cracking atmosphere. Ha, good post. That, in a nutshell, is why it's a shit idea and a million times worse than a proper competitive league with proper clubs with proper supporters. If...

Danny Mills; "I'm sure the supporters of Hartlepool would much rather watch Hartlepool play a Man Utd B team than Torquay" Did he really say that? What a berk. Like most pundits, I doubt he's ever paid to watch a game using his own money - certainly not at lower league level. Maybe that'd...

You beat me to it by a matter of seconds...

I'd predict that a certain Christopher Allen may well make the step up to replace him.

No news yet on the retained list - although I notice that other clubs in the division have started to release theirs.

Seems like a terrible idea, and one I can't see getting approved. Sevela key flaws, including: 1) The analogies with Spain, France and Germany ignore the fact that those countries don't have as many fully-professional lower leagues with well-supported clubs in them. 2) There's nothing stopping clubs...

Is it too much to hope for a return to proper football shirts with a proper collar? We've not had one like that since the old Unipart kit. We had a half-hearted collar on the last Bridle kit, but it wasn't the same.

Not owning our own stadium makes it all but impossible to generate any off the field revenue and I think some more drastic action needs to be taken against FK to get him to sell/give us the stadium. There is a good argument for why he should give it to us. He made £6m from the sale of the Manor. He...

What Myles said. It's not (just) about the goals with Kitson, it's about what his presence and ability does for the team as a whole - which is why I take issue with this statement: ...contrast [Kitson] to Smalley who has scored more goals this season but gets the fans ire. Someone else trotted out t...

I imagine they'll be a fair bit of mocking of Wilder which I think would be undeserved. Hopefully they'll be safe by then Okay, I'll bite. Without wanting to turn this into (another) Wilder thread, I hope we stuff Northampton on the last day of the season. Whatever you think of his managerial perfo...

Amazing stuff. My personal highlights (and yes, I did listen to it all): • Oxford is a "big college town", apparently. And there was me thinking we were a university city. • He claims Oxford City has one of the top four Futsal teams in the UK. Who knew? • “There won’t be another institutio...

Out of interest, AW, was that at our ground or away?

Never had a problem myself - although I'm usually fairly discreet. The other option, of course, is to make yourself a thermos of steaming hot coffee with a very generous measure of whisky/brandy/whatever in it.

I've never understood why people don't just bring a hip flask. No queuing, warming in cold conditions, infinitely cheaper and you don't have to see any money going to Ka$$am. Same with the food - if everyone brought a banana or a packet of crisps, and we all boycotted the over-priced and inedible sh...
