We've had one of our pre-season friendlies in Holland cancelled because the mayor of the town where it's being held is afraid they won't have enough police presence to deal with 400* (*his words - will be shocked if it's over 100 personally) Argyle fans AND... a market they hold every week.

Fucking arsehole. Now fans, who have already paid money to go out there for the whole week, booked accommodation around both games, including the first, are fucked because they've basically got extra days to do fuck all.

The club are trying to rearrange the match somewhere else but, seeing as how it's next Tuesday (I think) time is running out.

In other news, we've beaten every lowly non-league team we've played this pre-season and have Cardiff at home tomorrow.

Taking a 50% wage cut as well if rumours are to be believed (earning ONLY £150k p/w now). Shows how willing he is to either leave, or leave to Everton.

We all knew this day was coming, especially hearing the news yesterday that he was unresponsive, but it still hurts. I'm upset at the loss of a person I never knew, I can't imagine what his parents are going through, relief, sadness, loss...

Cancer truly is a cunt.

RIP Bradley, you little warrior.

I don't mind us not having many home Tuesday night games, our record in the league at home is terrible, haven't won at home on a Tuesday since 2015, even got beat by a Leyton Orient side who hadn't won at all in 2017 AND after their captain pushed over a ballboy infront of the ref.

I quite like the Chelsea kits to be fair, don't like the Huddersfield one, but then I hate the fuzzy dots.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they put games on a Tuesday night that wouldn't have a large away following even if it was a Saturday (like the ones we've mentioned here). Whereas having more local games on a Saturday ensures there'll be plenty of away fans, which might not be the case if they were midweek.

Not sure how true it is, either way it's pretty weird.


I think we'd take a few to yours if it was a Saturday, we have a lot of fans living up north and that as it is plus you lot are a bigger club than us and it'll be a bit of a novelty compared to Accrington and Mansfield away.

Haha, dire stuff.

We've signed a few players (and unbelievably actually paid a decent sum of money for one) already. Still hasn't quite sunk in we're in League 1, even when the fixture list came out last week.


Absolutely buzzing to have you lot away on a Tuesday won't be able to tick Ewood Park off my list then!

On other news we've re-signed our best player on a new contract, even after him supposedly having medicals with Sheffield United and turning down a contract with Bradford!

Literally every fan review of Ness seems to be "he's a great player... if you can keep him fit" although we do have a semi-decent record with injuries.

So, just to crush any aspirations we had of following a successful promotion campaign on the pitch, our commercial department shits the bed (as per fucking usual) and releases the image of the new kit late, with a badly photoshopped sponsor's logo on it and with our new centre mid modelling it with a massive bulge because we're that tin pot off the field.

We've a few games against local non-league teams as usual, a home game against Cardiff because Neil Warnock loves it down this way and always brings his teams down, and then we're going to Holland for two games again to play an FC Twente XI and FC Emmen.

Finished it off in two days, so much going on that I can't keep up but Kevin Spacey is such a bastard that I love it.

Anybody watching the debate thing on Channel 4? First time I've ever watched one; has Jeremy Paxman always been a bit of a knob when he interviews people? I always heard he had a reputation of asking hard questions and not giving anyone an easy time but at least let them answer the bloody question without interrupting!

Losing out on the title on goal difference on the last day, what kick in the bollocks. Still proud of the team for getting so far.

Absolutely delighted if I never have to sit on a coach to Grimsby ever again though.

They shouldn't touch squad selection, they're meddling too much. Just concerned it makes their "brand" look bad. Cunts.

I voted today in the local elections, may be pissing away a vote but I didn't vote for any of the big parties, but for a local one because they actually give a fuck and get stuff done.

Today could, and may very likely be, the day we finally escape League Two, after 6(?) years, administration, coming within minutes of ceasing to exist, almost being relegated to non-league twice, play-off semi-final humiliation and Wembley heartache.

These are the days that we are in football for. Dicks well and truly out.

So, so, so close to promotion now. Could be sealed on Friday if results go our way...

Eh, I wouldn't really want a player who has form of telling his current club he doesn't want to play for them and letting his attitude drop to play for my team, no matter how good he was.

We're fucking awesome, I love my club sometimes. Never been so proud of a draw in all my life.
