Re: Record Watch 23/24

Spare a thought for AFC Totton. In 2010 they got a PPG equivalent of 109 in the Southern League and had to settle for the playoffs. Which they lost.

Re: Record Watch 23/24

I still love the annual sweat for this record. It always looks so doable but I don’t think any team has got to within 4 games of it. But, as mentioned above we are in a whole new era now. I’d be surprised if it lasts another 5 years. Saw some wage bill stats recently. Leicester’s annual wage bill is...

Switching Ends

When was the last time we didn't shoot towards the South Stand in the first half? Obviously we have done this for a large majority of games ever since moving to the stadium, but historically you'd get 3 or 4 out of 25 odd home games a season where you go the other way. But it seems like this hasn't ...

4-4 Draws

Anyone know when our last 4-4 draw as in the league prior to Monday? I could go to the loft and dig out the history books, but someone must have it all on a spreadsheet. There was the Arsenal cup tie that was technically a 4-4, but in the league i cant think of another 4-4 draw in a league game sinc...

Re: Standing

Ive never actually stood in a safe standing area. For those that have, does it make a big difference to the experience? I stand on a terrace a fair amount still as i spend most Saturday's at a non league ground somewhere. Halifax might be the biggest one left, Ebbsfleet have an open terrace that mus...

Re: Standing

Pretty sure this came up several years ago, back when the club actually considered fans opinions. From what i recall, the stadium design made it a no go. on top of that, fans don't exist in the eyes of the club anymore, you are a customer. So what's in it for the club to convert areas to safe standi...

Re: The Non - League thread

Was at Binfield too. After a good start, Bracknell increased their domination the more the game progressed. Too strong in the end. Chatting to a regular, im told the Att of 671 was a club record by quite some distance. Not sure how they are going to cope with attendances like that once the grass par...

Re: Attendance

There was surely not much more than about 9000 people in the ground on Saturday? It was certainly way less than half full.

Re: No Programmes this season

I guess most people don't buy one, but in the clubs 150th year? Come on. It's just giving people another reason not to attend and further confirmation that fans don't exist in the club's eyes anymore. Just customers. The online programme has become a bit of a point of contention in the non-league wo...

Re: Brentford Play Off losses.

Just to rub it in, Reading and Brentford remain the only 2 clubs to finish runner up outside the top flight and not be promoted. At least since 1950 odd when they introduced Div 4. Cursed.

Re: The Non - League thread

USP’s results do look a tad suspicious from a distance. There was always the chance any club left in the vase could call on all those local step 2-4 players without a club to play for. ...I have no wish to denigrate their massive achievement to date but confess that was something I pondered briefly...
