I get it's about 'half-empty modern souless bowls' and maybe rubbish football. But its just madness to put these sort of perfectly decent stadia at the bottom whilst choosing decrepit terraces, uncomfortable outdated stands and terrible sight lines at obsolescent stadia ahead of them. They have a c...

There are some really good tools for keeping track of such things - personally I use footballgroundmap.com



74 out of the (new) 92 for me

Whore Jackie In distance order. Assume Sutekh's mileage is from the SCL, in which case Brisbane Road is 50 miles, not 80.

Is one as the crow flies and the other actually driving there?

Over recent week, everyone on Sky saying how many PL matches they'll be showing next season and then repeating it every couple of minutes, before cutting to an add break that says exactly the same thing.

Yes, we get it!.

Watch or rewind highlights on the official stream delivered directly to your phone while you watch the match on it, saving you the tedious hassle of having to watch the match yourself. Let our interactive AI agent tell you what you thought of the match, saving you the tedious hassle of having to for...

A Shef Utd win today would take the number of PL clubs owned by Americans up to 12, just 2 short of the number needed to change anything about the stricture of the league that they want. That's a thing? Yep, two third majority of clubs needed to make changes to the PL's structure or constitution etc.

Reports that the last round of redundancies was based on the assumption the club would be in the Europa League or higher for the next four seasons, so another round of extensive cuts expected very soon.

Breaking news : https://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news/24595104.jay-emmanuel-thomas-charged-connection-drugs-seizure/ MORTON striker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been charged in connection with the seizure of around 60 kilos of cannabis at a London airport. The 33-year-old, of Cardwell Road in Gourock...

These days, Managers rarely join a club where they know nothing about the players and the set up; indeed, many times the interview process will include presentations from the prospective manager as to how he sees ways of improving the current squad. (Which is similar to what happens when you go for...

Winston Biscuit project to knock down Goodison Park and build summat there scrapped and the stadium will instead stay in place and be used for the womens team (for now at least)

Just seen a comment that it's effectively a divorce. The men have to move out and the women get to keep the home.

Sign a two and a half year contract, work six months of it and achieve all your aims, get the rest of your contract paid off and you're now a free agent.

Nice work if you can get it!

No wonder football's finances are completely fcuked.

I think that's the first I've heard of the Cahill thing, sorry Stranded Yeah been pretty widely discussed. Was definitely an error. We definitely spent big for us, though not that much for even the bottom of that league. So it's not that we didn’t invest, like you said. But that our transfer decisi...

He's provided a perfect case study on how the current English football ownership and governance models are irretrievably broken.

And exposed the weakness of the EFL's governance abilities.

And provided the ammunition which will hasten the passing of the Football Governance Bill.

If we'd lost 1-0 at home to Fulham instead of 2-0, we'd have stayed up. Then again, there's dozens of small instances which in isolation all seemed so insignificant, that would have made the difference between staying up and going down. This. Or lost 2-1 at Fulham instead of 3-1. The annoying thing...

Also today (it came up in my Facebook memories) Steve Coppell's last day at Reading FC was 16 years ago today.

Know a guy who was in a Championship Academy. His experience was it was jam packed full of people with mind blowing talent and skills, but they generally weren’t the ones who made it. It was the solidly good dedicated steady eddies who kept things simple and just repeated and recycled the coached p...

We certainly had a deal with Hibs for Scott Brown as a Sidwell-replacement, but he was set on joining Celtic so "wouldn't get on the plane." It's not that we didn't try - we just couldn't persuade the players we wanted to join us. "Little Reading" and all that... The infuriating ...

Yep, historical accident, like Berwick playing on the Scottish leagues. Always reminds me of when Criag Bellamy was an absolute pcunt in a game for Cardiff against us and him and one of our players both faced FA charges for fighting (forget who it was). Our player was punished by the English FA disc...

Ipswich got relegated from the PL in the early 00's but also got into the UEFA Cup so played in it when they were in the 2nd tier. I am genuinely impressed with myself for remembering that :D Newport County from Tier 3 in England got to the quarter-finals of the Cup-Winners Cup in 1981 by virtue of...

Would whoever wins be some kind of 'record' for the lowest domestically ranked CL qualifier? I vaguely recall that perhaps a team once qualified for Europe in the same season it got relegated - but can't think of a CL example. Ipswich got relegated from the PL in the early 00's but also got into th...
