Started in 1974. Seen all sorts of rubbish football but may be it was easier to digest when the crowds were bigger and the opposition were good quality. The people i used to go with have drifted away. It's just not enjoyable anymore. Could probably still stomach it more easily if there was some...

SISU have always been big on confidentiality clauses on ex-employees inc. managers, executives etc.

On one level it needs something that is novel and will engage the media. On a 2nd level it needs something that is sustainable. Pitch protests are getting messy and you can't help feel at some stage it's going to spill over into something nasty either with opposing fans or , even worse, amongst...

CCFC will foot the bill for any fines - not SISU. With no new money coming in from the owners then any costs will be met by the football club either reduced playing budget or player sales. These pitch protests have to stop during the playing time of the match. How can a struggling side with a...

memo to self: reread posts before the "ooh-aah missus" brigade get to see them :)

i remember going down to look for coins during half-times :)

can happen to any side. I remember us playing carlisle in old division 1 for example.I remember man City in division 3. wolves in div 3 or 4.

ironic a thread about Grendel can get more posts than most football threads on here.

compared to some of the posters we used to get on GMK there's nothing particularly offensive that comes up on here. Remember Smiles posting a banned list once which had 100s of user names on it - though a fair % was probably Bob Bones and Curtis with multiple user names. :) Think Smiles spent...

pretty sure Grendel couldn't give a toss about this thread. sure he's had worst things said about or to him on this site. everyone has their own opinion on how this club got to where it is now and where it is heading. half the time people seem to get pissed at him is when he catches them out on...

the f&b spend has been under 2 pounds a person for years. don't think it includes the corporate hospitality as that was sold differently.

it was brutal that day. A real shame for Emerson who was turning into a very decent player - I thought much under-rated.

i know we paid a fee for him but the lad is still only 19. There's plenty of potential there. He's going to be a more than useful player. The fact that we paid a decent fee for him has led to unnecessary expectation for him to be the finished article straightaway.

his 1st Tv interview ( i think on Central) he said that SISU weren't necessarily in for the long-term as the funds they were using nornally operated on 5 year cycles which was how long he believed it would take to stabilize the club and make it attractive for new owners.

but the point remains can't sell Ryton until a new facility is in place - which would probably cost more than the Ryton income anyway.

point was they had a period where they were up down between League 1 & championship but always had to sell off promising young players to pay the bills and hope a new prospect would emerge through the youth ranks to repeat the cycle. talent dried up and ultimately ended up dropping into League...

That has to have limited possibilities. It's almost like the Crewe ALex model of previous years that proved to be unsustainable

this is the guy that was on CWR with Fisher (after the Talksport interview)?

You got to wonder if there was still European football attached to the FA Cup whether it would be taken more seriously by Championship & PL clubs. We would have European football if it wasn't for the Heysel ban. It's a sad indictment of the Cup when you see even Championship clubs rotating...

went to every round. didn't get a final ticket. was working in a hotel where one of the regulars turned out to be a director at Luton who had 2 stand tickets he gave me as he wasn't going. Swapped them for 2 behind the goal. Whole season was packed with memories and people forget some of the...
