Re: Shrewsbury big loss
Shrews site saying Lincoln lost over 3million, and Oxford 6.2 million. Hope Oxford got enough to continue installments for Goodwin!!! Makes our loss seem like peanuts. Would imagine most Lg1 clubs will make a loss Also from same source Portsmouth lost 3million. Hope Prem League are watching and try...

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end
We really need Vale to beat Burton today. Doesn’t matter which order we are in the bottom four, we have to keep fifth bottom as close to us as possible. I’m fine with Vale leapfrogging us today because it would mean there are two teams above the drop zone within four points of us instead of one. Co...

In fact I may even go to the other extreme in this particular situation and give the away fans blocks 7/8 in the CF only and have the Hazelwoods for home fans.

Re: The last two.- standing package
indeed, nothing like giving the team any small advantage that may help them get one of their needed wins. Clowns Steady on.

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end
I've never seen Port Vale as Portvale before. Whichever one turns up, anything other than a draw is a bad result for us. Worst result is a Burton win. We can't be happy with anything less than 3 points at Fleetwood, unless we absolutely steal a point. We have to beat the teams down around us and in...

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end
Saturday is a day where things may become a little clearer with Burton at home to PortVale. I presume a draw would be the ideal result for us. A win for Portvale may give them confidence to go on a little run with their up and coming games. Again we don't want Burton getting 3 points and stretching...

Re: The last two.- standing package
Exeter were initially only given the Hazlewoods and sold out very quickly. Alas there are still plenty of tickets available in the CF for home fans. Even in the central blocks. I can understand why they don't want to turn away guaranteed income when Exeter asked for more tickets. Can see that to a ...

Re: League One - clubs in crisis
As the Manager said a clay layer was not helping drainage at Seasons putting turf from Reading on top would not help 3G pitch would.

There does seem to be an aloofness from Reading fans about the mess they're in. They seem to want to blame everyone and everything and unless it's helpful to them then you're the enemy.

Thinking back to that game it’s amazing how much football has changed.
