Open End Numb Legs Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I am intrigued. The corner flag is in and people are on the terrace so it must be a match day but the 'crowd' look odd as there are buggies and things as though they were out shopping and took a wrong turn. Someone is making an announcement with a mic, not everyone is listening and those that are don't seem that happy about it. All a bit odd but I am going to be positive and say it is some sort of pre match young supporter type of gathering to inspire the next generation. Quote

Perhaos a photo of the (alleged 10,000) Fewers locked outside who can’t afford 50p to get in. Either that or a mass gathering of their various “firms”, such as the Incontinent Ultras, The Bad B.O Crew and The “Poundland” Specials. 3 Quote

We took both of our kids to AG when they were very young but they walked or we carried them - never took a buggy. Mind you, neither of the buggies in the photo have children in them so perhaps they’ve been taken along merely to empty the industrial waste bins of the out of date food? What an absolute shambles of a football ground. 1 1 1 Quote

38MC Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Haven’t seen anything of him for so long that I couldn’t comment on his quality. Sounds like a top bloke though that would be good for any dressing room. Googled him to see what happened to his career and there was an article about him calling up his first club in the Midlands - whilst playing for Brentford - and asking if they needed any kit. He then drove himself to deliver excess Brentford kit for their whole setup. 6 Quote

At least the catering would be improved by some of sister Dolly's upside down cakes. I do feel sorry for players at his stage. A career to be proud of and can probably read a game well but the body is starting to struggle to do what the footballing brain wants it to do. At the same time they need to plan their post football career. Then, just when they need a lucky break they have to play for Rovers. Quote

Two Saudi Pro League sides saw an abysmal attendance of just 315 fans for a game on Thursday (January 9). Al-Riyadh, who are currently sat in seventh place in the league standings, welcomed Al-Khaleej to the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium for a 3pm kick-off. And despite the game resulting in a 2-2 draw following a nail-biting second half, there were merely hundreds in attendance to witness the action unfold. The stadium, which is nestled in the capital city of Riyadh, has a capacity of 22,188, However, many of the seats were unfilled during Thursday's clash, when just 315 people turned up to watch along - with a sea of blue seats overshadowing the fans in attendance.

Southend Blue Posted Sunday at 15:34 Posted Sunday at 15:34 Rovers must be a poor team if we're 2 goals ahead within 30 minutes of the start. We put out a weak team, lot of bigger more established names aren't involved, the disaster prone Muric is back in goal but we're going for it and providing a satisfactory score for all involved. Suppose I'm being too pessimistic. Can beat Chelsea and Tottenham this season and held our own in other tough games at times since August. It's just Cup competition that leaves you cold. Haven't gone beyond Round Five since 1993 and the list of defeats to teams in lower league since that time is so bizarre or in fact embarrassing you'd have to be a Town fan to truly understand it. 4 Quote
