    who do u want to go up or stay down the most ,leyton orient or rotherham ????

    I have enormous respect for both teams this season's accomplishments. I'd be worried for Orient if they do get promoted as they would be among the smallest of clubs in the Championship and it'd be tough for them to compete... , earlier this morning I thought for sure Rotherham would win...

    Playoff finals and champs league final!!

    Do they not give out thousands of freebies for FA organizers, sponsors, etc. Or is that only "important" matches? If it's 43k of only fans of those two teams I think that's a good showing. Orient averaged about 5-6k at home and Rotherham maybe 9k?

    Festa to spend £180mill in 3 years

    Not sure about being bored or not, but Hull CITY's owner threatened to walk away with his money if they didn't let him rebrand them Hull TIGERS... If he was to actually follow through with the threat, where does that leave the club and fans? But, overall, I agree with the opinion that personal...

    How's This Going To Help The English Game?

    Just terrible push all around in my opinion. To better foster "homegrown" talent, it needs a bottom-up solution, better academies, a funded pot of money from FA (because they Care so much apparently) to pay for more and better youth coaches. Put limits on numbers of premier league reservists...

    Fascinating interview

    I propose picking up a washed-up former player now in his 50s off of his job at the construction site to lead the charge. The headline can read "How Coventry City Drove Me To Drink, and How the Fans Rescued Me From Oblivion." A feel-good figurehead indeed.

    Fascinating interview

    I do not think the Sky Blue Trust should be the right vehicle organization to take that job on. I have absolutely NO opinion on the Trust, but I am aware they have wrinkled feathers. A new, different organization, whose express and primary mission would be to secure fan ownership, can be...

    Imposter on GMK

    Aren't you protected under law through some sort of journalistic privilege? Can you buy press credentials? In all seriousness, as soon as Sisu/Otium/whoever start demanding fans' private IP info off a web forum through litigation, it would "look bad" for them in the news. Not sure if that'd be...

    League One next season

    Certainly I respect you and your opinion. But I think a lot of neutrals will look at us, see a threadbare team, little budget, and ownership content to shoot their team and manager in the foot, and ask "Where will this team be by end of the season?" And with the form we had in the second half...

    http://www.atlantasilverbacksfc.com/news/detail/uuid/zswz9r4l5moyzxpv5vpm8dw0/silverbacks-release-statement-on-atlanta-ultras#.U2agoX0pDMI My local club here in USA, Atlanta Silverbacks, just banned the Ultras from matches. I saw it as "good riddance," they were violent, beyond rude, and more...

    League One next season

    Well I accidently deleted my long and thorough reply post. In short, I think Blades will win the league next season, with Preston and MK "Dons" also promoted. Scunthorpe, Gills, Crewe, plus this year's L2 playoff winner will get relegated. We will finish 1 or 2 points above the drop and...

    I thought the FL rules were poor

    I assume companies that own clubs would fall under this? I don't imagine it would make much difference, the threshold according to the article is anyone owning 25% of shares. I may be wrong, but no one individual owns over 10% in SISU/Otium? Regardless, sounds like a great idea but easily...

    My therapist has advised me to de-stress. So instead of biting my nails at todays score I will dust off some DVD. "Care Bears Visit Gumdrop Village," or "Free Willy 2"?
