Breath of fresh air to the Premier League! Well done you terriers!

 

I remember seeing their prices when they announced them and thinking if they go up will be brilliant.

Well done Hudders

Interesting to see what they do if they stay up... and I wonder if they'll charge full £30 for away fans?

 

No thanks. Don't want a newly promoted team to early. Let them run themselves out a bit first!!

 

Yeah got carried away a bit there, I like to avoid them early on too.

Everton at home would be nice, slap bang in the middle of their EL qualifier.

 

I'd take that!

 

So the prem has got Burnley, Watford, & Huddersfield......
....and the Championship has got Sunderland, Boro, Weds .



We may well survive the dreadful summer we are about to have.

 

David Flitcroft has taken charge at Swindon Town.

 

Leonid Slutsky is favourite to take over at Hull according to Sky - probably wrong then. They should appoint him just because he's called Slutsky. Great for the fans.

 

Slutsky confirmed as Hull's new head coach. Sky got something right!

Garry Monk to Middlesbrough.

 

Lincoln City have now sold over 5,400 season tickets + 350 Junior club season tickets. Not going to be many pay matchday seats left for home fans at this rate.

Grimsby forum going on about "fair weather fans."

Will be some big attendances in L2 next year with Notts County, Lincoln, Grimsby and Mansfield. Will have to keep my eyes open at the Grimsby and Mansfield games though. Always trouble when we play them 2 and don't want to be walking out with my boys and getting "decked" by a mob like happened behind me when we played Brighton in the late nineties. Knobheads don't care if you're with kids.

Sod that. Pompey to win and then get drawn at St Marys

We owe them lot a tonking.


Funny that they ****ed the draw up, announced a couple of wrong fixtures and Charlton appearing in 2 ties

 

Football league clubs (fans) already talking about boycotting the U23 games in the JPT again.

 

Is it going same format as last year?

 

Yep. U21? I have heard a rumour that the U23 teams play all their games away because Prem clubs didn't like photos of their grounds empty.
