TV Tom

There forum's a laugh, one mug on there reckons they took 8,000 to Blackpool in May 1990 to win the title, Blackpool's biggest crowd that season was 8,100, so just 100 sea-siders at the Rovers game then

I actually have no idea if my granddad went to the cup final, i doubt it otherwise i'm sure it would of been mentioned, apparently Billy Wedlock was his hero and the best player in the country according to him !!! If teams, like Burnley, Fulham, Brentford, Bradford, Luton, Hull Huddersfield, Blackpool etc. etc. etc can get there then so can we, i'm as frustrated as the next man that season after season we can't even finish above Preston but i still have hope and honestly believe we will get there and hopefully under this regime, i know i know, i'm a fool

That is a strange stat, SA were in the wilderness for 20 odd years though so slightly distorts it, still surprising though

My dear old dad was in his mid 50's as well, i remember the pride he felt seeing "his team" finally in the top flight and telling me how lucky i was only having to wait till i was a teenager to see it, i used to love the stories he used to tell me about how his dad used to watch Bristol South End on St. Johns Lane, i've got to believe that my kids don't have to wait till they are in their mid 50s What were Luton fans thinking 8 years ago while they were mid-table mediocrity in the conference ? I think it's better to stay positive and hopeful otherwise what's the point ?

Not sure about that, his 39 goals in 8 years suggests otherwise

Indeed, they need to let it go and move on, time is a great healer

Oh dear, get your tin hat ready for the backlash

Cornick has scored 39 goals in 8 years, so he doesn't even average 5 goals a season irrespective of what position he plays in, he is most definitely not a centre forward, which is my point

I'm talking out and out centre forwards not wide strikers who rarely score (with the exception of Sykes) That leaves us the three centre forwards you've mentioned of which Cornick never played that roll at Luton, Wells is well passed it which leaves us with the still very young and inexperienced Conway, we were well under-cooked in the CF department going into the new season

Southampton are demolishing teams and are unbeaten in about 20 games so being as we've been waving the white flag against the divisions elite teams for the last five years expect nothing there, i wouldn't be surprised if we pick something up at Boro next week though.

That's fair enough but he certainly has a say, whoever's to blame the poor & small pool of strikers to choose from has been a massive problem

The fact that Pearson didn't address the fact in the summer that we needed a striker is half the problem

Haha, never knew that, can’t argue with that

What does that mean ?

To be honest i'm prepared to give Mehmeti more time, no problem with selling Semenyo, though i certainly didn't want him to go but you couldn't stand in his way for a move to the prem

Serious question here but doesn't the manager get involved?

Sorry CP, don't know if i'm coming or going

Too be honest Dave loads start leaving from 35 minutes onwards and head to the bars, i'm always amazed how many just stand in the concourse watching the game on the TV's

Calm down mate, it was said "tongue in cheek" i appreciate every BCFC fan whether they attend games or just watch from the comfort of their sofa, we all want the same thing and we all share the same frustrations

What a stupid comment, how do i know who was around for £300K, what i do know is that i wouldn't of given you 30 bob never mind 300K and what i do know is that 1.3 million was wasted in last year's January window by our then manager (who apparently wasn't given any money to spend)

Well they should of known it, that's part of their job.

Personally think this has been a decent window certainly compared to a year ago, who had the bright idea of brining Cornick in and wasting a million on Memheti last January?

How is it a stronger squad? it was a stronger squad a year ago when we still had the two wonder kids before they shot off to Bournemouth and we were still crap and dismal to watch

Hull and Coventry are going to do it this season

I think season tickets will hold their own their own but how many actually attend is another matter, will be interesting to see what signings are made to go along with the January singings, i definitely don't expect Manning to get the same support from the fans as NP did and if we're no further forward by this time next year i's imagine the mood from the terraces will be pretty toxic
