If he's not missing work I can't see a problem. Going home to see friends and family is way down the list of inadvisable things footballers can do with free time.
Wouldn't the York press say that kind of thing to talk up the new York manager, in the same way that Cody McDonald was reported as our number one transfer target?
That was largely my point. The implication that at least you'd just get 'genuine' fans with this theory, as if that'd make it all worthwhile. I'd give up completely if the club folded, I don't care where that places me on the authenticity scale.
The amount of people disgusted at leaving Highfield Road, I have trouble believing that more people wouldn't be disgusted about the club itself disappearing altogether. Rage at the owners may pique interest in whatever this new protest club is, but sustained interest? Can't see it.
I don't underestimate the fans, I just don't believe they're there. People quickly turned away from a team in the league, I really can't see the dark waters of non-league appealing past the novelty of reclaiming the club from money men.
Climbing back to wherever we belong from ground zero in 10 years is quite a reach, when you consider how many teams are relatively healthy and completely failing to do the same.
It's nice as a romantic ideal, but as actual reality? I don't see it. I'd be flabbergasted if the majority of people...
Was that the fella Elijah hung around with? I couldn't believe when I found out he was actually English. How do you get an accent that hilariously bad?
I've seen the Football Factory (regrettably) but reading '20 Cov' doesn't remind me of it, even when I imagine it read in the dulcet tones of Danny Dyer. Odd link.
A new manager could be the impetus to end our horrid home run, it wouldn't be the first time a new man inspires an upturn. I wouldn't bet on it, but certainly wouldn't rule it out.
Noticed a bit of a police corden round the Wheatsheaf on the way past (someone arguing about JPT tickets?) and then the helicopter overhead, so I wasn't surprised that there was some kind of nonsense going on. Why Swindon though?
