    Promotion party

    One of the things I remember most fondly about 1987 was coming out of the station to walk to the City Centre and being met by scenes more suited to Turin. The ring road and roads around the city were bonkers. Cars going around with people standing out of the roof lights, flags waving horns...

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    I think Kelly has been a revelation. He seemed a mediocre fourth division player when he first arrived. However, for the past two and a half years he has been a huge influence on the team’s success. I think he has earned a shot at proving he can play in the league above. Robins may have other...

    What happened to £20 is plenty? Real danger of pricing out a portion of potential supporters if those are the prices.

    Death List 2020

    Not saying he was at fault, particularly as I wasn’t there and didn’t see the incident, but it was a collision with Glyn Pardoe at Main Road that resulted in Bill Glazier breaking his leg and so missing out on the chance of being in the ‘66 World Cup squad. Man City’s youngest ever player?

    Rats in the attic

    It’s not only the smell that is bad. We had an investation under the floor boards and in the ceilings. We had someone in and poison was laid down. A rat is a sizeable mammal and when it starts to rot it really does stink. Unfortunately for us ‘Roland’ decided to take his last breathe over the...

    Free agent fan.

    Just goes to show how times have changed. Twenty years ago any old millionaire would have done nicely.

    It’s not over yet

    I would hope that too but I could still see a scenario where Liverpool, Leeds, ourselves and Swindon are declared champions but for the latter three, no promotion. This would satisfy Liverpool with only Leeds then holding any real clout.

    It’s not over yet

    This guy admitted that there was a possibility that the games may not be played and so was asked how would the league would then be sorted out.

    It’s not over yet

    There was a representative of the PL on the news last night saying that no decision had been taken on relegation from that league yet. It does cast a shadow. You would hope the FA are strong enough to stand up to the PL and insist that their earlier pledge is carried through.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    I think Kelly is being written off too early. If I was picking our player of the season I would now go for Walsh just pipping Kelly and Dabo. However, Kelly holds things together. He is always available for a pass and very rarely wastes it when he moves it on. I think he is a very clever player...

    No. But can't be bothered to to write out again all of the reasons why.

    Michael Doyle

    Whlie Aidy Boothroyd's teams may have been hard on the eye, I always enjoyed listening to his after match comments where he usually had something insightful to say. One of his sayings was that, while football teams needed artists, they also needed soldiers too. Considering how long our club has...

    You're right, don't know why I said January, apart from the fact I am an old git!

    Accrington Chairman on twitter

    By the end of July though it seems that employers will be expected to make more of a contribution to employee's wages even if they continue to be furloughed. It seems the new season will kick off BCD so the only semi major source of income for clubs will be revenue from streaming. At some point...

    Unbeaten Run

    You're right. We played 7 FA Cup games in all. Three were before the Shrewsbury game, 4 after, so 18 unbeaten in all comps.

    Unbeaten Run

    One of the unfortunate consequences of the likely non playing end to this season is that this team's remarkable ability not to lose may not be recognised in the record books. I make it 14 league games unbeaten since we had the 'Just Listen To Me' thread after defeat at Shrewsbury in January. I...

    Premier League

    The above is the lamest yet. What does it matter to them what happens in the league below. Your team finished in the bottom 3 and so would be relegated who ever is promoted.
