    I agree, I doubt they'll have had one spade in the ground by 2026....or even 2036

    Oxford annouce agreement with council to lease land at the Triangle- Kidlington to build new stadium. 16000 capacity, 180 bedroom hotel, restaurant, conference centre and a well being space? Set to be the most sustainable mid size sports venue in the country, whatever that means and are...

    Portsmouth at home and Play off Dates

    I feel the same as you but if your sat in that meeting at sky why would you choose a game between a team that are (virtually) already promoted and a team that are already relegated. Surely but surely you would choose a game with an element of jeopardy in it to make it at least half interesting...

    There's always next season. It'll be another hard slog for them unless they find other investors/donators. Their main sponsor have about had it, there won't be a lot for new quality players that could lift their standard, their poor season will impact season ticket sales for next season and the...

    Match Thread: Cheltenham Town v Lincoln City

    Mandroiu is very much at the crossroads of his career. What I saw of him in Ireland hasn't quite manifested itself here in England. Yes ,it's a big jump in standard and that takes time to acclimatise to. I think he was a bit unlucky to be playing under Kennedy. He certainly had issues with...

    End of Season Renovation

    Yeah saw this just over a week ago when I went past. Pitch 3 (as I call it), the one furthest away from the changing rooms was taken up and is now fully done and re-seeded by the looks of it. Pitches 1&2 are still intact and probably will be until the season is over, hopefully after the 18th May.

    Rate The Players v Cheltenham Town

    Jensen 7.5 Two good blocking saves which can win you games as much as scoring goals can. Sorensen 7 Didnt do well in the lead up to the penalty. Got in some good attacking positions, especially second half. Mitchell 7 O'Connor 7 Jackson 7 All had steady games without being outstanding...

    Match Thread: Cheltenham Town v Lincoln City

    From where we were on January 1st to where we are today, in a playoff position is nearly too unbelievable to be true. At the turn of the year we were going nowhere and I must admit I fully expected it to escalate quickly and that we could easily of found ourselves in a battle to stay in this...

    Bishop Injury?

    Without throwing him under the bus the quote was from @Scotimp. Post #30 Having looked at it again it looks like that he is quoting completed games having played the full 90 minutes. He may well have started other games that he did not complete and was substituted for whatever reason.

    Bishop Injury?

    Well, yeah I see your point but then I suppose its up to the club on whether they can afford to keep up his level of wages for the amount of games we get out of him and whether they are prepared to offer him a new contract knowing his injury record. As I say I like Bishop as a player but for...

    Bishop Injury?

    Taylor is a different senorio Chimp. He is a young player currently at a Premier League club who is just setting out on his football journey. He has come to us on loan to gain experience and continue to learn his trade and get match time experience. He's done brilliant for us and scored some...
