  3. So the name Fleetwood originated by one Thomas Fleetwood who owned a lot of the land on which the town that bears his name now stands. He was a Comptroller for the Royal Mail. Fleetwood, an altogether quieter version and escape from Blackpool had an interesting purpose until the 1850's by being the transfer point from train to steamer; a train from Euston would terminate in Fleetwood whence forth passengers would change to a steam ship for the onward passage to Scotland such was the fastest and most comfortable method to the west coast at that time. Following the rise and fall of the fishing industry Fleetwood, for a while, became rather impoverished and has perhaps the smallest population of any league team in just 25,000 ? it is famous for producing Fisherman's friends and has some rather interesting architecture and well laid out parks. Worth a visit on an away day as some of you chaps I am sure can attest. Fleetwood Town have achieved 6 promotions in 10 years in what has to be considered a meteoric rise up the league pyramid only a few other clubs have achieved. How sustainable the club can be at League 1 level with a ground capacity of just over 5,000 is an interesting thought but it is surely one of those clubs, managed to league status by our previous player Micky Mellon, that we look at with some level of admiration for their achievement. I for one wish them well and hope they have a run through to the play offs this season. As long as we can dispatch them today of course and I fully expect this match to be a potential banana skin unless we do everything right. Assuming we do a routine 2-0 should be there for the asking. Freeman with a screamer and Smith with a bundled header. UTC

  6. Of course I hope not, but the win today means even a defeat next week is not exactly terminal. They would go one point above us, and we would still have a game in hand. It is however a chance for us to make a real break. Just keep doing what we are doing now and we should be fine.

  8. Top with a game in hand. Draw next weekend would now be a much better result for us than MK.

  13. Good decision imo which looks like it will be vindicated. They looked tired on thurs and freeman especially puts in one hell of a shift. A fresh freeman is hugely vital to our success.

  16. We don't seem clinical enough to ever catch up with MK's goal tally.

  18. Well, let's see how it plays out, and as others have said, they are on the bench. Not convinced Elliott has been 100% since his return, so a good time for him to show how he can dominate that midfield. COYR!,

  19. For me, Cotts has one eye on the MK Dons match, which is, of course, a much tougher game than this one (on paper at least). As one of our most energetic players, Freeman needs a rest. Despite being given MOM against Gillingham, I felt he's looked a lot better. There's enough in today's team to win the game. Bring the young lad back for MK Dons and he'll be flying.

  20. At least they're on the bench. Perhaps this will free up Elliot from breaking up play and give him more licence to range forward like he did last year. Can understand after the exertions of the last month that some players need rests.

  21. Packed in like sardines then, no probs as long as they tow the line. Their team will be done up like kippers later on.. Old habits die hard, expect them to arrive at the Gate well before kickoff, none of 'em will want to miss the exciting bit when the officials inspect the nets.
