Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

Yiadom back from suspension do we change a winning team and he comes straight back in? 2 wins and 2 clean sheets since he’s been out the team. Would be very harsh on mola, who after a shaky start for us is looking ok now. I thought Mola was pretty ropey today at RB, so I'd have Yids straight back i...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

That win was crucial!! we probably need two more wins purely because Cheltenham and Port Vale won't go away!! Our run in isn't the easiest either. The next two being Bolton (a) and Lincoln (h) Bolton will be tough and Lincoln are currently top of the form guide. Then its Brizzle (a) and Barnsley (a...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Was right behind Kelvin’s goal - a beauty of a curler!!! Those are the special moments we are fans for. Yep same - could see from the second he hit it where it was going Big fan of Kelv.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Referee comically inept. Where do they find them? 2 of the worst decisions I’ve seen on a football field since Bodin getting sent off instead of Davies. Not to mention the 4th, who twice got in the way of players trying to take quick throws. That corner which he gave to us as a GK was unbelievable....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Great game from JP. Bindon excellent. Quality goal from Kelv who made a massive difference

Mixed bag otherwise. Referee comically inept. Where do they find them?

Massive 3 points considering other results

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I completely agree with Stranded. We are a club that is still technically on the brink of liquidation so for me any new owners that can prove they have enough funds to keep us going for at least another 18 to 24 months get a big thumbs up from me. Yeah don't get me wrong - at this stage, anything i...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell. Agree wit...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

The current stadium is in dire state of repair; leaking roofs, rust, brick work crumbling, drab concrete interior, etc; thus is going to require a good level of investment. Location has always been its achilles heel, but not sure the stadium is as bad as that. 26 years old and yep, a new lick of pa...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

I'm not sure there's a site big enough to build a new stadium in the town centre. It's not just the footprint of the stadium that you have to consider so it's a complete non starter IMO. Quite. Think the only possibility is demolishing the Broad Street Mall and entirely reworking that end of Broad ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yes this is quite correct. Perhaps if the management had known what are they were doing and hadn't been playing random number formations this club might have been on the fringes of the play offs now. Apparently Reading would be 8th in the table if the season had started 20 games ago. Much as I thin...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Problem is that there are so many ex-pros and relatively few other football jobs. I assume that 74 covers all age groups. Obviously this and the fact that these jobs are generally pretty enjoyable jobs means that the pay is pretty poor. Doubt the average academy coach is on much more than minimum w...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It would stress me a bit, but some people on here are saying its worse for footballers than a nurse working in the NHS, which is patent nonsense. Furthermore, the career of a footballer sets them nicely up for coaching roles in football, punditry, being an agent, working behind the scenes in a form...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Dull point but slightly related to that NFL people alleged bid

Haven’t we let international teams (ie NZ) train there previously. Have we broken planning laws by doing that?

Would the council or whoever be harder on us doing it again potentially closing off a useful income stream?

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I still don't see why people have a grudge with Wycombe. Dai put up part of the club for sale. You can't blame Wycombe for being interested. Anyone who has an issue with the actual Wycombe team or fans over this need to have a word with themselves. Expect any Wycombe fans with any sense were pretty...
