Sleepy1968

Haydon got in today's The Football League Paper team of the day. Well done Haydon.

Hi Rob, my bro is already of the physical card. Hi Eardun. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned issues if that's the case, but I'll get my brother to try himself online tomorrow, and take it up with the club if he needs to.

Ive just renewed too. There were a lot of positives today, when nobody would have batted an eyelid if we'd put in a subpar performance and gone down to a narrow defeat. Given what was at stake for them, I was impressed that we managed to give at least as good as we got. Crikey, I think I'm going to watch the match highlights on ITV.

To anyone who has renewed a 'physical season card'. Can someone please confirm whether the renewal process states or gives the option for a physical season card. (I've seen the FAQ which says to hold on to this years physical; card.) Thank you. Why: I went to renew two tickets and after clicking 'proceed to checkout', I only got the 'digital delivery' option (I say option, but there was nothing else to click on!). Now that was fine for me as I have a digital season card, so I renewed mine only. Then I went back and went through the process to renew my brother's physical card season ticket, but again just got the digital only option.

Put it this way - our wasn't quite as offside as theirs. But they get the decision, and we don't. I think if they scored our disallowed goal it would have stood given that the other linesman can't see straight lines - neither can I, but I don't make offside calls!

Seeing Mark Sykes going through on goal is becoming a bit like watching Junior Bent going through on goal. Oh well. Still well in the game.

I think there are more Welsh speaking people there than in Wales. There was a doc on bbc sounds about this a few years ago it might still be available.

They've won all home league games since knocking the fewers out of the fa cup - that's 8 wins. And 11 wins/2 draws in their last 13 home league games (couldn't be bothered to go further back.) I am surprised we aren't longer than about 4-1 for a win.

Ha, I never thought of that. The ones I'm referring to from the 70s are kids sizes. I remember my first being the coffer sports one when I was 12 or 13. I really don't remember whether I kept up with shirts, but I know I wore a white long sleeved sweat shirt with Wembley stadium printed on it when we were there in 86. I think it had the road to Wembley results on the back.

The source linked is the Norwich City pre match presser - I'm not sure David Wagner speaks for Jon Lansdown. I'm not even sure Jon Lansdown speaks for Jon Lansdown come to think of it.

I didn't renew after the Brighton play-off shambles, been back since the season after we made The Championship playoffs. I'll renew on the weekend/Monday, but if we continue to drift aimlessly or decline under the current regime, 24/25 could be my last season for a while.

Replica shirts were a thing in the 1970s, certainly around the promotion winning season. I don't know about before then as I was either too young or not yet born.

Sounds like their backend is held together by sticking plasters. Unfortunately they always manage to stick me with charges for each ticket I purchase.

Thanks for that. I suppose the EFL clubs could vote to amend their regulations, but I guess they have a participation contract in place with the FA if it is a mandatory requirement for member clubs. Makes the FA actions worse than I thought.

Due to info from @View from the Dolman my reply is nonsensical. Mods feel free to delete this post!

Teams can opt out of the fa cup if they feel that strongly about it.

I never even remember realising this - I'm sure it was obvious but I don't think it caused a fuss. Obs if we had the internet back then there'd be a 500 page thread of outrage on yeoldeotib.com

Yeah, me to when I congratulated him post game for his hat trick v Walsall, and getting promotion.

There's the issue right there. 'Singing section'. What prevents people signing around the rest of the ground, and why is it so quiet in general. Phones and no shows are an issue, but all this should be spontaneous.

I'd be signing up any decent players Rovers produce (hopefully getting them to run down their contracts) or want to sign, and loaning them out to their close rivals. You can rest assured that under my stewardship I'd just mess with the Gas, and the City team would go to rack and ruin. Actually, hold that thought. I could probably do more damage by taking them over directly.

End of season is where he could do with a mentor to help him analyse his own performance, agree what's working well, and suggest areas for improvement, and an implementation plan. Is Tins going to (or able) to do that? Cus if things get left as they are, he'll probably end up making the same mistakes next season. For example, Knight in wrong role, exclusively one upfront, sometimes playing too conservatively, taking too much notice of what the opposition are going to do, and combating that, instead of giving them problems with combating us.

Can you imagine the meltdown on here if some posters found out we we paying Bournemouth or Luton to play us. Apoplectic.

Nah, the Pompey fans in the enclosure. I'm not sure whether he had lost an element of city fans by that time.

I think I last went when Osman was playing for us, maybe player manager. I sort of remember them giving him a lot of stick when warming up as sub.

No one in your league will want to play you - properly at least. Prem oppo will be on lucrative pre season tours, or will demand a big fee, or send squad playets/u21s. Decent L1 teams are probably the best we'll end up with.
