    Next supporters forum 24 July

    Yea to add to this any plans to improve the fans experience in general. It’s improved significantly, but anything else to stop the excessive queues for food/drink would be welcome. There were suggestions on another thread of things like mobile beer people or self serve dispensers. Also, can...

    Pre Season commences

    Grimes arriving with that Boots bag and in full training gear made me laugh. Like some sort of Dad/Coach turning up to training.

    Matchday Rewind Barnsley 1 - 4 Coventry City | Sat, 11 Aug, 2007

    Yes I agree on Doyle, his influence on his return was incredible! Pivotal part to turning us around.

    Matchday Rewind Barnsley 1 - 4 Coventry City | Sat, 11 Aug, 2007

    Our team these days absolute destroys that one. That wasn’t even one of the worst squads of that era, but watching the likes of M Hughes, McKenzie et al was pretty poor. And it only got worse from there. Such a different experience these days. Albeit I do miss not having the queue to get in...

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    We went to Sorrento a few weeks ago, was a nice place, enjoyed it. Albeit felt we didn’t get to fully explore it all, as we were away with a group.

    The Holiday 2025 thread

    Obviously late to the party but I absolutely love this idea. How old are your kids? Also help ease the guilty of not always doing enough family things in the week due to work/other commitments, if I know we have a guaranteed one weekend a month plan!

    Fixtures Out Thursday

    I don’t get particularly excited about fixture release day, however I would be excited by this. The fan fare around either would be nauseating, especially as we’ll be the after thought. Davies, Morrison and McAnuff in the studio would be tragic. However, absolutely shitting on their parade...

    Top Moments in the Footballing Wilderness

    That infamous Crewe game was a shocker. My two stand out memories from those two legs are: 1) Chris Dunn being apparently unable to stop any shot ever. 2) McSheffrey insisting he take a free kick in the last minute of the away leg when we were absolutely desperate for the equaliser, and...

    Top Moments in the Footballing Wilderness

    The 4-1 win at home to Gillingham in the Mowbray years. With that team and the way we were playing it seemed we were destined to be on the way up. I remember seeing a fellow long suffering ST holder who sat next to us for years crying with the emotion of it all. Only to be followed by a...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Think I’m one of the few remaining Binks fans, but if we somehow end up with Doyle in and Binks out, that’s incredible business.

    Someone shit in his boots apparently.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Obviously won’t happy anyway, but I really wouldn’t want that rat KDH anywhere near the club. Rudoni is way better regardless.

    Scumberland or Shitefield ?

    Been out all day so didn’t watch the match nor have I caught up with this (or any) thread. Sunderland winning is a bit of a ‘what could have been’ - as we really should have beaten them, especially second leg. However, the tantrums the likes of Wilder, Campbell, Choudhury must be having, and...

    We played well second half and first half of ET. I’d happily bin Wright. Biggest game of the season and he can’t her himself up for it.

    Don’t usually attend Dhillons on match days, but guessed it’d be good for atmosphere. Beer choice is still absolutely shite, musics a bit loud, but decent enough atmosphere. Wright, please have a game where you actually turn up.

    Not convinced at all by Wright up front, especially against a team with a low block. However it could certainly give O’Nien a bit of a scare after the last time. Hoping Simms starts up top with Wright on the left - and both actually turn up tonight!

    Can I just shock you; the better that managers tactics, the more likely a positive result. I also stated the big players need to turn up as well as getting the tactics right. Poor trolling, especially for such a big match.
