Still not sure how the Aberdeen Westhill move will be financed. Im sure Milne has the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 My lads club, Stanton Ilkeston U'12's, Derby Junior League. Champions last season, this season we finished 5th. Go Ironmen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Of'ten Town (Alfreton to non locals.) I was a regular there in the early 70s but then I met a lad who took me to watch Derby in 74-75. Loyalty game over! (I still check their results, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 My nearest league team is Leyton Orient, 4 stops on the Central Line tube. They have a great real ale bar and mugs of steaming Bovril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Port Vale are the closest, closely followed by Stoke. Couldn't care less about Vale, and can't stand Stoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be where you're from or where you live now. My local league club is Plymouth Argyle but that's still just under 2 hours on the train. Then I have Truro City who are in the Conference South. Truro for me. Was born there. Crazy they were going to move to Torquay so they had a ground to play in next season. Sooner the new ground gets built the better.

I don't go to watch them too often, if they got promoted a couple more times though I'm sure a lot of Cornish people would welcome the prospect of league football in the county. They had a chance of promotion to the Conference National but unfortunately missed out in the play-off semi finals to Maidstone. One season at Plainmoor and they should hopefully have their own 10,000 seater, multi-purpose ground in Threemilestone to share with the Cornish Pirates rugby team. This would be a big step as it would allow them to really push on. They would have a stadium nearly as big as Premier League Bournemouth, with the possibility of expansion. It would give them a great chance to become Cornwall's first ever Football League side. I used to love Plymouth being in the same league as Derby as it made going to watch Derby a doddle at least once a season. Would love Truro to progress to at least give themselves a chance of getting a home draw against Derby in the cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they'd sold Treyew to property development and expected the new stadium process to be quicker than it was. Yeah, they've done well. Could have potentially started falling back through the leagues they'd just come from. They had to appeal to a fan to return their goalkeeper shirt after a player gave it away following his final game as they couldn't afford a new one.

Truro have been lending their team bus to Torquay who have had issues with travel this season. Hereford giving a guard of honour at Wembley yesterday as the Morpeth guys came back down from the stands with their trophy and medals was also . Also loved the story of big Barry Hayles staying in one of the Truro chairman's caravans. Yeah Treyew road was sold off by the last lot running the club so the new chairman has been trying to sort stuff out. Was reported The other month that they can stay at Treyew Road for next season with the hope that work on the new ground starts in October (I cant see that happening though as they are still working on the plans which will go to consultation, not much time for all that then work starting in October).

Rample Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Burton Albion, and for the 13 years I've lived there they've been my second team, but I'm starting to get really fed up of their fans hating on us since promotion. They seem to have developed an inferiority complex, assuming that we see them as a tinpot club and retort by labelling us underachievers who they believe they're now on level footing with. The "Jake Buxton, if he's not good enough to get in Derby's side he's not good enough for us" threads amuse me, and how can they be on level footing when their entire squad value and wage budget is less than several of our fringe players on their own.
