Being an old fart I remember our Division One days!

This is true, but then most fans say things like "I'm a Liverpool fan from Essex" or "I'm a Man U fan from Bedford" etc. I'd rather have the delightful self-conferred sense of superiority that comes from supporting your local club - no matter how shit they are.

Yes but - as I remarked to a companion when they beat us at home early in Gary J's reign - however well they do, whatever they celebrate, it won't mask the unspeakable sadness of having to live in Luton....

Some of the most boring games I've watched have been premier league clashes or internationals. Some of the best games I've watched have been non-league - Bath City beating Torquay 4-3. Wells City beating Burnham to take the Somerset Senior Cup. Higher level might mean higher skill but it doesn't necessary mean more exciting football. Cotts (and Danny Wilson) probably delivered some of the most exciting football at AG in recent years, but at third tier level. That doesn't mean we should give up the dream of a return to the top flight and meekly accept possible relegation in order to be "a big fish in a small pond". But it does mean, it would be nice if we played exciting football as well as at least maintaining our Championship status. We're a dull side currently, but that doesn't make us a dull club. Underperforming is the word.

But I've never seen us play in "Division 5"

Doesn't help to be losing 4-1 to clubs like Tonbridge Angels. They are still a full-time professional club. Can see that changing next season, and it would be forced on them if they we're in the Southern League.

He cunningly chose a store that has gone kaput.

Ah, but Arrigo Sacchi, Villas-Boas, Brendan Rogers etc etc.... Surely, it's only a matter of time before LM helms AC Milan?

I'm not sure having brief spells in the top flight in the last 30 years makes a club "not dull". Reading are a dull club in a dull town with a dull stadium and could yet drop into the bottom division. What we are, is the consistently most underperforming club in the land, given some of the advantages we should have.

Hey! Let's not mock the Eastern Counties Premier League. Prem experience, see. (Joking aside, there are a number of successful managers who never made it as professional players. Liam Manning does not appear to be one of that number)

Get him gone - Give it to Andy King until summer

He can play a bit. Wrong sports though. -
If you want Tinnion and Manning to go then.....
Red-Robbo replied to The Constant Rabbit's topic in Football Chat
He's still worth £1.2bn. We could play to an empty stadium and he can still make money elsewhere faster than he'd lose it on BCFC. It's the ego that will be hit, not the pocket. -
Working with Australian media groups at present. They all use Vale. It surprised me as well.

Not Raheem Sterling. He has two.
