Re: Well done Wigan!!

Amazing journey

Just wondering who were the other fans there that night in the early 90s when there was supposedly only 11 of us (thoughi only remember 4 or 5 of us)

They decided not to open the bank so we were ushered into the seats!

Re: Ling Sacked

I would say Knill is a shoo-in for the job and that it will be announced as soon as contract is sorted - much more effective to work with the man you know and save the hassle of recruiting.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the fans thoughts on this helped the decision....

Re: A Turning Point?

We drew but... we played 90 minutes with 10 men and 1 goal down we conceded a soft goal with 5 minutes to go but we still bounced back If i was the manager i would be buzzing in the changing room, gee-ing everyone up for the next game, saying "well done guys but we still need to do better, let'...

Re: A Turning Point?

I'm glad you're not in the changing room Brucie, we'd be down already if you were the moral support.

You have to build on efforts like last night and therefore take the positives and move forward from that.

That's how teams (whatever the type of business) succeed

Re: Aaron downes signs!

Re: New FL Websites...

TUFC have another 4 years to go on their Premium TV contract that Mr Bateson, that one isn't a Premium TV site it is by a different company. That Northhampton Town one is dreadful, can't see the wood for the trees and which Muppet thinks that "Home Page" is a good Page Title, does no-one k...

Message to Eunan

Hi Eunan Just so you know if you read this mate. Irrespective of where you go, most of us real fans will appreciate what you have done for the club and wish you well. Glad you are not going to Creepy but would have understood it if you did. Also understand if you do go elsewhere but hopefully (and I...

Re: New Training Ground at (not Barton) Forches Cross

It is about half a mile from my house and I spent many a day there while at Coombeshead Comp! There are three fields, two of which are flat (one has two slightly smaller pitches and the other has a larger one) and one is a big slope. Not good enough state now for professional football so assume they...

Re: McPhee

"Lone striker" Oh no, I hope not. I spoke to someone earlier and said i think there are two ways Ling will go 1 - play it tight and make sure they dont score and bank on us scoring at least two 2 - go all out, get the wind up them and scare them into losing the game - more risky but hell w...

McPhee

With no Danny on the bench, Rene off, Jarvis misfiring, I would have brought on Chris McPhee with 10 minutes to go, what did we have to lose? He's proven to score some late and important goals, as we have found to our detriment. Atieno and Jarvis both have potential but sometimes you need someone wh...
