Surely they could be allowed 600 fans like the Leagues directly below them, rather than using cash that could go elsewhere?

Well worth a watch, as the club starts again at level 10 of the football pyramid. Perhaps the most telling quote in the whole programme was the Fleetwood chairman who stated "There wouldn't be another Bury situation happening this season, there will be at least 6 clubs go,almost certainly more."

Found it by chance last night. I thought the Gentleman was the best film of the year, until now, superb, all star cast, based on a true story, 2hrs of cinematic quality. It will win Oscars, if they have them next year 🙈

In Ridley Scott's biopic of the French Emperor, 'Kitbag', the title coming from Bonaparte's quote "There's a General's staff in every soldier's kitbag" After the Joker Phoenix arguably has to be one of the best actors at the moment, lets hope the cinema's are all up and running by the time its...

What are they doing differently to us?

I wonder how different rock history would have been had he lived? Would the Beatles have reformed for lucrative world tours, or even just for Live Aid? And would the Frog Chorus have ever seen the light of day? The timing of a star's death often dictates their iconic status, Buddy Holly, Jimi...

For a number of reasons the Sudbury FA Cup replay 1996, lost on pens, sticks in the mind, but I'd imagine older fans on here will recount the Walton and Hersham 4-0 replay defeat as their lowest point. I only lasted 90 mins for Sudbury, at full time, after the worst 90 mins I'd ever witnessed...

In these unprecedented times no one knows what the future holds, but wondered if any football clubs that go bust during a season from now on, at whatever level EPL downwards, face automatic relegation as they are insolvent?

Anyone done it? What are the pitfalls, and any tips? I had a mate met a lady at Horsham Park, who apparently had eaten the lady in the original photo on Tinder, I know I'm no Omar Sharif but really want to avoid difficult situations like this.

Legend is a word bandied around far too much, but this man is a true legend 78 years young today.

This is probably like posting the Beatles have split up, but whilst in lockdown and the subsequent non appeal of the boozer I'm watched a lot of documentaries and a theatrical release, The Program, regarding the career of Lance Armstrong. Not really being into cycling and specifically the Tour...

Having watched it at the flicks in January, watched it again on Amazon at the weekend. IMHO it is Ritchie's best film, better than Lock Stock or Snatch, that's not a slight on those two movies, I just think age and experience has made Ritchie a better director and script writer. Well worth a...

No doubt a number of the usual suspects will disagree but it’s something in the last few days I’ve discussed with a number of football supporting friends. There’s talk of Government bailouts, ie taxpayers money, as EFL clubs enter financial meltdown connected with the Covid Pandemic, but...

Didn’t take the knee prior to kick off in the Sky Championship game last night. Sky tried to make a big thing of it at 90 minutes, but Mark Warburton’s response was admirable and hopefully will strike a chord with other clubs. When pressed why they didn’t do it he pointed out perhaps they’d...

Unfortunately that’s potentially how this hunt for a proven striker is going to pan out. With the Covid pandemic and the resulting dire upcoming economic situation it doesn’t sit comfortably with me, but this is the level of football we find ourselves in, the only way to get off the hamster...

Apparently Sue B, Tuffers and Matt Dawson getting the gooner as part of a revamp for the shows 50th anniversary. Did catch a bit the other day and I thought it was all a little bit dated so maybe a change would be good. New host, Richard Osman? A big football and a huge sporting knowledge...

Huge fan of all things David Brent and Wernham Hogg so began watching the US equivalent with a fair degree of scepticism but am currently up to Season 7 and have to not only admit that it's better than the original, Steve Carell is a comic genius and the supporting cast are far stronger and with...

Like to collect the odd piece, and have now been offered Tommy Wright's England shirt from the Friendly Match vs Brazil in Rio in 1969, with a letter from Wright by way of authenticity, been asked to make a cash offer but have looked on line and can't see any kind of guide price anywhere, don't...

To paraphrase Simon Jordan, whilst I don't have a dog in this fight, the next three months are going to be riveting stuff seeing Trump and Biden go head to head. With (Crooked sic D J Trump) Hilary already stating publicly on no account should Biden concede to Trump on election night, does this...
