From a branding point of view, that makes sense really; Bristol Street Motors Trophy made it sound like a single physical garage was sponsoring a 5 a side tournament at a local leisure centre. I dunno, Bristol Street Motors has been going for well over a century, plenty of nostalgia and equity in t...

This unfortunately. I have been convinced from day one that he is destined for much higher and we should thank whoever spotted him in the first place. Quite a bit of the John Stones about him. The best centre-back prospect we have had for years-the last really good one was Steve Wood who we sold to...

I'm thinking of splashing out on Hospitality Tickets at one of the upcoming games and would appreciate feedback from anyone who has done so over the past season or so. What are the pros and cons of the various packages available? Is it worth paying the additional cost to have the Royals Premium or ...

Royals and Racers

Orion1871 Fans forums are held at the club. Surprised he would even be allowed on the premises if he is suing.

It’s NOT at the club- at Phantom brewery in Portman Road.

Double-Barrelled brewery is Portman Road. Phantom Brewery is on Meadow Road near Cardiff and Swansea Roads opposite TGIs.

Winston Biscuit I wonder if he will get Anthony Barry in as a coach

Yes is the answer https://x.com/England/status/1846476174488429023?s=19

Proper nomadic playing career he had. Loved the NW apart from spells at Yeovil and Forest Green. Interestingly* Tuchel took him to Bayern as the set-piece coach.

Yes, much prefer winning them. Isn't this the one where the FA and PL agreed to scrap them but the FL never said anything to its members until the FA announced it? Personally it's ******* ludicrous that the FA agreed to this just because about 3% of the clubs that enter the competition don't want t...

How good is Kelleher? He's been decent enough when I've watched him Yeah, excellent shot stopper, quick, gets the ball well. Distribution not great, but then most aren't compared to Alisson. He'd comfortably be first choice at plenty of PL clubs. Agreed. Very very decent keeper and very able replac...

There’s been heavy, persistent rain in Cheltenham since late morning. No sign of a pitch inspection yet, but keep your eye on the social media if you’re travelling. Games already off at Stourport, Wallingford & Crowmarsh and Evesham. Altogether more amateur outfits perhaps but does confirm the ...

Brobers, do you think a different manager could get a better tune out of this group, or is it just an awful squad filled with terrible purchases? Dunno, he's not a bad manager. For example, If you had to choose between ETH and Slot based on their records over a similar period you'd defo go with ETH...

Thais own the car park and hotel.

Not sure where the line is drawn in terms of the stadium and hotel boundaries. Who owns all the conference room facilities? The Club aka Dai or the Thais?

Durán signs new deal at Villa until 2030.

stealthpapes can't help but think we'd have sold this one out on a Saturday

No doubt in my mind. Seems an unusually small allocation, have they reduced it due to the match moving to midweek?

2 points off the playoffs with a game in hand. Publish the account get what ever needs to be done to get this through bring in 2/3 players in January and we could well end up in the championship next season. And then what? He’s already asking for 30 million. How much do championship clubs go for? W...

Just received push message for tickets. I am expecting the lowest gate for a while tonight. Is a general malaise setting in? The same messaging we get before every game? Midweek attendances have been killed by Sky red button not malaise IMO. Add in a couple of English teams in the Champions League ...

Actually think that would make things worse. Having driven through that roundabout post-match in the car and on the bus, cars attempting to go from Green Park across the A33 around the roundabout towards Bennet Road / J11 snarl the traffic far more than those coming out of Car Park 6. The traffic li...

Don't mind Dean as the substitute CB, but no way he can last 90 minutes. Considering we lost 3 first XI centre-backs last year, to still have as strong a partnership as Bindon and Mbengue is testament to the scouting team. Kudos to Craig, think he's had a pretty decent stint at RB. Certainly not an ...

Arsenal's North London Forever?

I suppose there must come a point where you have to balance out losing players with the fact that you’re storing up a load of midweek fixtures. Wouldn’t surprise me if we actually play Shrewsbury to avoid a pile up If it's a Saturday home game, there may be the financial temptation to play it. It's...
