A manager who gets promotion from League 2, moves clubs gets promoted to Championship and then gets sacked when that club is 22nd wouldn't be a completely unrealistic option for a club in 10th in League 1 looking for playoffs. No it's not, but at the time of my original post he (as in Matt taylor) was not interested don't know if that's still the case or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look at Gaschat suggests they are ready to see him spend his remaining €£$ on developing the other sides of the ground when he hasn't finished this one yet!

It really does show just how limited their aspiration is, and how starved of modern facilities they have been, that they think this looks “class” (to quote a couple of tweets). Embarrassing really.

bcfc01 Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 They should have developed that dump years ago instead of trying to compete with us. They need a 12k stadium that maybe could be expanded to 15k in the unlikely event they reach the Championship. Even then it wouldn't be filled. Last time they were at this level their average was 5,745 and didn't reach 6,000 in the 3 seasons they were there. In fact, their average attendance went down on promotion from 6,202 in the third tier. Must be rare for a clubs attendances go down after promotion. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apros of nothing, this gives me opportunity to give my favourite ever pop fact. Brian Harvey, erstwhile chavtastic lead singer of east 17, once ran over himself. Mr Harvey had, as opposed to taking too many drugs - he definitely hadn’t been taking too many drugs - had eaten three jacket potatoes for lunch. This was too many by far, so as he drove off he opened his door and leant over to vomit. While doing so, he disengaged the handbrake, causing the car to roll forward and run him over. And that’s still less comical than at least three things the gas do on a weekly basis. Edited November 18, 2023 by Silvio Dante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
