Looking forward to your (hopeful) rise through the ranks, especially as a newly founded fan run club. I have a feeling I may be supporting one of those soon...

A boring 0-0 for us today, probably the players eyes were on the tie on Tuesday away at Palace.

The attendence debacle continues.

Attendance given as 3,114, though actual attendance closer to 1,911. Latest trick is to boost numbers with lots of free tickets, then count all of those free tickets in the attendence figures even if they weren't all used. Still too many scabs either way.

Did indeed binge through Penny Dreadful and Sillicon Valley, enjoyed them both!

Have also shot through the latest trending tv show, Stranger Things. Loved the 80s theme and whilst the story seemed familiar it was still enjoyable all the way through

Currently trying to get into the 4400 on Netflix, got good reviews from friends but I'm struggling with it half way through the first season.

Central Intelligence - 8/10

I've never enjoyed a film with Kevin Hart or Dwayne Johnson in before, so I was very pleasantly surprised by this. Only watched it on a whim and I'm glad I did, entertaining!

He reportedly failed his medical. They could offer a deal to Senderos though instead.


I heard it was personal terms that he failed?

So if I buy premium it will last for a year and I can cancel it anytime so I won't end up paying more than £10 ?


Correct as far as I'm aware. Though at the end of the year you'd need to pay another £10 if you wished to continue being a Premium Member!

Some humorous stuff in the BBC column today:

Barcelona are interested in West Brom and Venezuela striker Salomon Rondon, 26. (Mirror)


Also, Watford are supposedly signing Pereyra from Juventus...that would be quite a snatch?

I can't help but like this Man City side...

Aguero with 2 penalties in the game so far, both not scored. Never thought he was the best penalty taker, surely City have better in their ranks? Thankfully for them Silva has scored inbetween penalty misses to give them a lead.

Fair play to them for clearing it up.

Most on our forums do too, it just doesn't appeal to me.

2nd round draw in full, two fixtures depending on tonight's game.

Scunthorpe v Cardiff/Bristol City* (see note below)

Watford v Gillingham

Peterborough v Swansea

Everton v Yeovil

Millwall v Nottingham Forest

Sunderland v Shrewsbury

Luton v Leeds

Chelsea v Bristol Rovers/Bristol City* (see note below)

Burton v Liverpool

Blackburn v Crewe

Accrington v Burnley

Crystal Palace v Blackpool

Morecambe v Bournemouth

Preston v Oldham

Reading v MK Dons

Fulham v Middlesbrough

Newcastle v Cheltenham

*Bristol Rovers' match against Cardiff City on Thursday will affect the draw seedings. If Cardiff win, they will be seeded and will visit Scunthorpe United, with Bristol City going to Chelsea. If Bristol Rovers win, they will be unseeded and will be away to Chelsea, with Bristol City away to Scunthorpe.


Didn't expect us to beat the murderers, now it's the Glad All Over derby down at Palace. Hope it's a tiny crowd so our pilfering owners don't get much to line their pockets with.

Really enjoyable film, not what I expected at all. Perfect? Not by any means, but more than worth the watch.

The whole defence at City needs culling.

In other wild gossip, supposedly we're after Juanma from Hearts after he's been frozen out by the manager. I really don't see that happening!

Photo doesn't load.

Although that tickets thing is very very dodgy looking. Worst thing for the boycott also may well be Blackpool starting well, given that might start to attract people back even with the fuckwits still running the joint.


Hmm, loaded on the three different computer/tablet/phone I tried, have attached it here anyway.

Yes, that is the worry

Don't think the Community Shield is worthy of its own thread, so will post here about it.

Kick off today at 4pm, Leicester v Man United. Mourinho does not have a good record in the competition, I think the Leicester players will be more up for it too. As such, I'm going to plump for a 3-2 Leicester win!

Fair few interesting bits and bobs from that opening weekend... Forest v Burton looked like a great match, Blackburn look doomed already, Grant Ward had the debut of a lifetime, more people turned up at Blackpool than I thought would (least judging by highlights), and I had no idea Jay Spearing was still at Bolton. Is he still pulling wages over £40k a week?


Official attendance was 3,754. View from the terraces, amongst the away fans:

Far too many scabs for my liking. People with piss poor excuses such as "I need my football fix", "I've been a season ticket holder all my life and won't stop now", "I'm taking my son, like my dad did with me", "I take my Gran for the day out" - and more ridiculous points which completely miss the point. Go and watch AFC Blackpool, AFC Fylde, even the Codheads but don't go to Bloomfield and give that horrible family your money. Oyston's were obviously worried about the attendance as they were giving away lots of free tickets. Speaking of tickets, HMRC might be interested to see the tickets that were paid for: https://twitter.com/aidangreen/status/762015592614420480 . To continue the derision of those attending, a member of our Supporters' Trust who in their own words are at the "forefront of the ethical boycott", has renewed her season ticket

Otherwise, I believe we won the game through a deflected shot and an own goal. E I E I O...
