More chance of getting there on the back of a flying Pig.

Surely BCC could employ 2 men to collect the money on match days (nights) as you entered the park and ride if you were just going to attend the match and give over say 500 spaces in a specific area to matchday parking at £10 = £5000 kerching!

I just happen to think a club with the fanbase and backing we have had should have done a lot better over the years, it's been debated endlessly but when I see the likes of Bournemouth Huddersfield Burnley (I could go on ) being more successful than us it's frustrating and I know larger teams have in the past been relegated to League 1 after being in the Premier League but just once after over 40 years I would us to at least get it right once more and get promoted from the Championship before it's too late for a lot of people.

And the majority of posters on here if they were really honest with themselves instead of constantly making excuses for our lack of any progress in the last 18 months, we are not the only club who have faced problems a lot have, lack of money has not stopped other clubs from doing well Luton being the best example I can think of and there are others, if NP is that good surely by now some progress would have been made, there is talk of some of our players going to Prem clubs for millions this summer so our playing staff can't be that bad.

They did say at one point the oldest player on the pitch for them was 26, so yes they probably were a younger team than us, this age thing seems to be used a lot as an excuse for us by some posters on here yet at the same time our most valuable players are some of the youngest HNM Semenyo etc, not sure you can have it both ways, it's the lack of any coherent game plan that worries me more, first half against Birmingham and last night for the most part looked like 11 players who had met out in the car park before the game.

Aren't we always the solution to any teams bad run?

Good job seasons aren't a bit longer or I fear you would have been right.

Will be surprised if the bookies have not got us down as one of the relegation favourites for next season without a massive turnaround in either personnel or ability to actually play as a team.

Well he certainly doesn't seem to be the messiah so don't hold your breath.

More crap? isn't that exactly what they're getting :laugh:.

I think it's fair to have some doubts despite all the get out of jail free cards he seems to have.

How far behind are you I thought we were 2 down.

Sky sports news almost talking Barnsley into winning this game so annoying.

The only team in the Championship to win away as well.

Posh losing.

Bentley you beauty!!

Now look what you've done :laugh:.

Yes you are right I meant the Mansfield one Where I had booked a holiday to Tenerife some 6 months earlier not thinking of us getting to the final, was glad I never went once I found out the score about 4 hours after the game had finished as everybody I asked if they knew how we had got on had never heard of the fixture, which just goes to show how many people paid any attention to them outside the bottom two divisions.

I have been to 3 Freight Rover/ Johnstones paint trophy etc finals and we have won them all, I was unable to attend the Walsall and Stoke finals but was unfortunately at Wembley for the Hull play off final which ruined my 100% finals record.

Just heard their former manager from 1977/81 Gordon Lee has died at 87 how they could have done with him this season.

Am I right in thinking they are the only club never to have played outside the top flight?

My thoughts and fears exactly.

Oh dear had a sense of humour bypass? and yes I have been married for 37 years and yes she does, and as for being fun at parties well if you want to find me I'm always in the kitchen.

So no see you next Tuesday then?

What is it with posters such as yourself that call him Nige? you make him sound like a personal friend of yours, he is a 50 odd year old man in charge of a football team in the championship his name is Nigel Pearson, shorten it to NP by all means but Nige, come on.
