Re: Rival Watch

Snowflake Royal Tomorrow really has to be Cheltenham's last chance. If they can't beat an already relegated bottom side at home, they can have no hope of survival.


But obviously there is no pressure on Carlisle any more so they may play in a much more relaxed way....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (h)

Ref badly positioned, couldn`t see the handball. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKgYdovW8AAfipG?format=jpg&name=900x900 Yep. With his lino looking from the same side from an even narrower angle. Very good and brave lino seeing and calling that from the far side halfway line. Deserves a retrospecti...

Re: Injury watch 2023/24

Entire squad available for tomorrow except Hutchinson who barely counts. We've done a great job keeping players fit this season. We've had some injuries to Smith, Holmes, Dorsett plus a season KO to Ballard, but we haven't had constant ongoing chronic issues again. Which is fortunate as we would ha...

Re: Hob Nob Anyone? player of the season 2023/24

tidus_mi2 I find Bindon hilarious just because of how furious I hear people get when he's got the ball at walking pace.


I can see both sides: can see why people get upset but then can see that, if he draws in another player, then there is an easier outlet to a, hopefully, free player.

Re: The non snowball stat thread

Sutekh 13 straight league wins from the start of a season is currently the football league record. This record seems to get forgotten far too much being in the shade of 106.


Is that a league record or a professional football record?

Re: The Magic Number Thread

The problem is that unusual results this close to the end of the season can have a really negative (or positive) impact. All being well and we win on Saturday against Lincoln and other results go our way then we would be nine points above the dotted line which, with four games to go would be a great...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

I'll let someone involved in the campaign speak further but my view was that it was never about there being a benefactor model in football but ensuring there was governance around those to ensure we don't get into the same mess again. If the campaign was purely about having an owner than runs a clu...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

No. A significantly smaller town centre stadium with minimal faciltities and dreadful access absolutely would not be the way to go. I think you would have to think outside the box - i.e. knock down Broad street mall and surrounding buildings (including Hexagon, council offices and police station) a...

Still an owner after SJM


Owner with SJM.

My memory is a little more testing these days, but didn’t the club return to SJM’s full ownership when Zinga couldn’t complete the purchase ?


Could well be the case

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Totally agree. Hopefully we get good new owners and can move on from this sorry saga, but I hope SBWD continue to advocate for regulatory change in football and the wider fan base have sympathy and fight for the next clubs that suffer with bad ownership. And, to be fair, it's not just our current o...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I don't put rumours up. On Mondya I had a sensible friend who is connected with a bunch of players and staff tell me he got a message from someone (I didnt ask who) that there's going to be an official announcement within 48hours about exclusivity/takeover. I considered putting it up but there's to...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

So what happens to tonight`s protest with the breaking news? I think it's still poignant and I'd be disappointed if we stopped the "Football has an Ownership Problem" message just because our own ownership situation might be reaching a conclusion. Totally agree. Hopefully we get good new ...

Stranded Proposed deal includes the club, stadium and Bearwood.

Now on to figuring out who it is - Generva, the Wilf Brothers or someone else entirely.
