Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

National League quality is so far better than that lumpy crap in L2.

 

There's a whole load of reasons and that's just a part of it. The fans that had some connection to the previous club still celebrated that first FA Cup and the first couple of league titles. But that was largely to get the monkey off their backs of 35+ years of being under the shadow of United and tasting success. But as the seasons have gone on, even they looked at the club now and feel not enough of a connection with it to feel the same buzz they used to.

They changed the club far too much in one go - the ownership and mega money, but the stadium and badge to the point it really could have any name over the gate tbh.

 

Looks like a hearse

 

I don't think so tbh. The reason being everything now is so globalised and documented through social media, and Sky Sports before it.

Also bcos clubs we've grown up with that we consider old skool have had their reps built through the fans. That'll never be the case now for City. One bcos their fans are virtually non-existent, and secondly for the reasons stated above.

We're 20 yrs down the road for Chelsea already and ppl's views are what they are, despite many including me thinking they still had some history about them before Roman.

 

Tears? Just makes no fukin sense

You've obviously blanked out the two cups we've already won this year and I get thats how you cope with being #peasants but it could get a lot worse for you next Saturday.

Losing a European cup final against real madrid kinda problems is just fine by me.

Kinda problems people play and watch the game for

 

I've just used my fingers and I think my soul will be having a few problems by then too actually

 

12,000 supporters at a fifth tier game, one also on TV!

 

Notts County beat Juventus in an unofficial European Cup a hundred or so years ago

Juventus not only adopted the shirt but also copied the no nonsense tackling of Notts County and so the Italian take no prisoners defending was born

 

Grimsby 1-2 winners, well deserved to be fair.

 

Im done

 

Yep and surprisingly some good players at that level.

Enjoyable game all round

 

Bet the County player that commited the foul in injury time is now absolutely gutted.

 

Amazing football, can't believe it's lower league, easy much higher tier quality.

 

The hoppings feel about it

 

Grimsby to face Wrexham next and that aint even the final, jeez fook that, it's a tough league to get out of.

 

were you at the match bro?

 

They are already living in London

 

I was just a nipper then

 

Bit different for me ... I agree with you about Chelsea ... but I also remember the Citeh side that beat us in the 1969 Cup Final and the likes of Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee ...

 

From the evasive answer, I'm guessing it was yes.
