Not really arsed about Salford either!

 

England/Wales and rich/poor.

Very spicy that one.

 

Ah right, just assumed it was the original Chester tbh.

I think the others are the originals though?

 

There’s a youtube of it somewhere I’ll dig out later. Chester fans started singing during a minute’s silence and all kicked off. Rest of the game was carnage.

 

I believe both Hereford and Darlington are 'reborn' clubs.

Only know Chester cos I was reading about it relatively recently.

 

Hereford had held an amazing record of being elected from the Southern League to Football league status in 1972, and were in what is today known as the Championship by 1976 (old division two).

All after this giant FA Cup killing back where it all began in 72...

 

City fined 315k for breaching transfer rules around signing minors.

 

Pocket change for them. They should make fines relative to the income of the club. Hit them with a £25m fine, that will make sure it stings

 

A mate of mine has gone, he’s expecting to see some bother tonight which would be a real shame imo. Dirty ****ing Leeds.

 

Looks a tidy little ground at Salford.

 

Apparently Rickie George was on the piss the night before, because he knew he was on the bench and didn't expect to get on the pitch.

 

The other great cup game was Wimbledon v Leeds and Dickie Guy saving a Peter Lorimer penalty.

 

And let us not forget Dave Beasant's sa e from John Aldridge at Wembley a decade later. Though Wimbledon were in the first division by then.

 

I feel very privileged to have been at Wimbledon's old Plough Lane and watched them win the league. I always love it when they come to Priestfield too, generally bring a decent amount of support. Don't like there current gound location though, it's a balls ache.

Loved Plough Lane. Lovely little old ground in a nice leafy part of SW London, shame that's long gone now.

 

Decent game this tbf. I wonder how far up the pyramid Salford can go?

 

Depends how quick they can grow. Their ground would be there current financial set back, I think it only holds 5k, so they would have to rebuild or move. In comparison my lot can old 10.5k and we are a league above. I think there player market value is £1M less. However, Salford have a bigger influence ie Alex Ferguson and Denis Law at the game tonight, so potential for financial backers is far greater. Not forgetting the rest of the gang!

 

Salford Rugby team have a new 12k stadium. Right **** location though! Middle of no where. Quite a nice ground though so that could be an option

 

Ground share? That would certainly be a good financial option. 12k would be suffice for L1 - and start bringing in the right revenue to grow.

 

Good save
