Re: The Kevin Doyle Thank You Thread

Yes a nice piece on the official site from Kev. Sad to see him go but wish him all the best at Wolves, top player for us and always gave it his all. Goodbye and good luck

Re: No.13 - Will We Turn Up?

I am afraid to say that unless we start well the crowds will drop to under 17000 very quickly, if things are really bad expect under 15000 by christmas. I'll be there though.. moaning :-)

The interview - http://www.skysports.com/video/clips/0,23791,15855_5370803,00.html Does it involve me having to listen to him talk? - if so i dont think i can put myself through it, he always sounds like he's out of breath.

Re: "Howe says the kids are alright"

... Even if Rodgers is great with the youngsters it doesnt mean he will have the respect of older pro's or prospective targets in the transfer market... anyway thats for another discussion topic :-) Bottom line is the youth WILL figure for us this season and I don't think we will be disapointed (if ...

Re: "Howe says the kids are alright"

Thing is though, when Darius Henderson is your best youth product for years it doesn't bode well for the others coming through. I've seen Karacan a few times and he looks woeful. idiot +1 Karacan did well for us at the start of the season when he was fairly regular, not afraid to get stuck in and s...

Re: Annie Bassett

This was the time in the 80's when the Thatcher Government was pushing to make membership cards compulsory for all supporters attending all matches. The South Bank membership scheme (sponsored by Netwrok South East) was a sweetener to the powers that be - a non-compulsory sort of half-way house to ...

Re: Annie Bassett

But good on her if she started that idea as it is still in use today. Ah, no, this was a different breed of a membership card, more for id purposes and it got discontinued at some point. And it was for just the Southbank and prevented away fans from easily gaining entrance to it. I seem to remember...

Re: New Captain

Why not Jay Tabb? From the last few games he looked like someone who would lead by example by getting stuck into the game. Wasnt he also the Coventry captain when he was signed? Good point. Yeah if he gets the starts he could be a very good captain and has good bravery. However the only reason I wo...
