    Orient, Northampton, Barrow, Sutton , Harrogate and Wrexham to visit for me to complete the current 92 set

    My five are similar, Barrow, Sutton, Harrogate, Wrexham and Crawley - sadly I was on holiday when we played Crawley a few years ago.

    Got mine as well, this is my 92nd visit to different league clubs.
    After this one I will have done all the top three divisions.

    Congrats on that 👍🙂 I doubt I'll get a ticket for Orient only being in the 5+ category but at least I've been before. I've done the top three divisions too and just got 5 to do in league 2 to complete the 92 current league sides - oh to stay in cup competitions long enough to stand a chance of being drawn away to one of them! Fingers crossed we both get to complete the 92 one season, I think it'll be a great achievement if we or anyone else manages it.

    I’m glad we didn’t as I got to enjoy some of the best football I’ve seen at derby in 25 years. I would have rather Mel had not sacked McLaren the first time 

    I agree that we played better and more exciting football under Mac1 and Simmo and I don't think anyone could or would argue that but that wasn't what I was talking about, I was just saying that in my opinion, not knowing what the future held at that time, I think we should have stuck with Nigel longer as he was slowly but surely improving us.

    so we'd have to have another rebuild then whilst trying to stay in the division. not a very viable plan in my opinion. 

    But I think we'd need a rebuild if we got promoted, in squad and maybe manager and to think otherwise is a little naive.

    because he's never kept a team in the championship before.  So isn't it very short term to hire someone who is effectively useless as soon as we get promoted?

    No because you can just get rid after we've got promoted like we should've done with the poison dwarf and get someone more equipped for the higher division.

    To be fair, the post you’re referring to was from nearly a week ago. Poor @REDCAR was trying to bring it back on track, then you brought warne up again.

    anyway, do we reckon getting wilder back will gain them a point of two more, or will he be their Jewell and take them backwards (if that’s possible). 

    Oops I'd not noticed that so, sorry and apologies to all - as for our record, as always I'm hoping it goes this season, not sure Wilder is the man to save them, or get them more than 11 points but at the end of the day it's never going to be a total that's too far out of reach - we were truly rubbish that year but hope lingers on that one day someone will do worse🤞

    It can’t be more inspiring than the dross we’re currently witnessing. Clowes employed Warne for the single objective of getting us promoted ASAP. The football style obviously didn’t concern him. 

    And would it concern the majority of he got us promoted?

  8. One of my mates can't make it today because of the weather so I have a spare adult ticket for sale if anyone is traveling down without a ticket and wants one -£24 - I'm already on the train to Shrewsbury so best to meet there if anyone is interested - unless you're on the same train as me of course.

  9. I'm in the give him till the end of the season camp but I might change my mind if we start to get drawn into a relegation battle which I don't think we will. Not that I'm comparing him at all to Brian Clough but it's worth remembering that in his first season with us we finished lower in the league than the season before and I for one am very happy that the board didn't have a knee jerk response and sack him at that point.

    Looks the perfect ground for flags also if you watch the video clips of Carlisle above this season. The terracing behind the goal is empty and used for flags, unless home fans are going in that section today, unless they only close it when attendances are poor etc.

    If I remember right, Carlisle closed that stand earlier this season after their own fans caused some trouble. I think they've opened it up again now though.
