    FA cup replays - gone

    And there are also many fans who opt to go and support their local non-league teams each week as well. The cumulative attendance for all non-league games every weekend willl be fairly high. Although i accept that "supporting" a certain team and "going to watch" a certain team is not necessarily...

    FA cup replays - gone

    And i have always liked the camaraderie which exists between those of us who support 'crap' teams.

    FA cup replays - gone

    I can only go with my own experience, at my work there is a Newport County fan, a Forest Green Rovers fan, an Exeter City season ticket holder, two Barnsley fans, a Wycombe season ticket holder, Middlesbrough and Derby County. There is one guy who watchrs Fulham and another who says he "used"...

    FA cup replays - gone

    the vast majority of football fans in this country support teams outside the premier league, yet... The PL teams have huge squads but wanted 5 substitutions per game to preserve their stars energy so that was brought in everywhere. They wanted VAR so that was brought in. They wanted a winter...

    Thank heavens for the play-offs

    Play offs were originally conceived cause they wanted to reduce the size of the top division, which went from 22 to 21 then 20. Once this was achieved they were kept but only for teams competing for promotion. It must have boosted clubs financially over the years, there must be very few clubs...

    Absolutely brilliant. Great day for supporters who spend their hard earned money following them week in and week out, year in year out, in the National League.

    Paolo Gazziniga

    leicester werent quite the plucky underdogs everyone makes out, they still spent hundreds of millions on their stadium, facilities and players, it may have been less than some other teams but they still bought the title to some extent.

    Thank you Neil Harris

    Yes if if if. If we'd beaten fleetwood, if we'd got more points, if we'd scored more goals, if we had better players, if we had bigger crowds, if we had more money, if the refs didnt all get together and actively conspire against us. I must be the only person who is pleased to see the back of...

    Great works of literature

    I think the only way to read these "great" works of literature is slowly and to fully immerse yourself in the world, and really ask yourself if you want to read it, or do i want to have read it ( two conpletely different approaches). Patience is required and just go where the story takes you...

    The Official Crewe Alexandra Match Thread (Sponsored by 27 quid match tickets "for all your "value for money" needs")

    We've scored 9, that is the joint lowest in the division with Harrogate in a league incidentally where goals are generally free-flowing at an average of around 3 per match. Swindon have scored three times as many already. Yes we won 4 in a row at the start, scoring 4 goals in the process, so...

    Interesting News Around the Football League

    FC Isle of Man play in the North West Counties League in the same division as Bury FC and our old adverseries Burscough. Must be some expensive away days for them.

    FA Fine and Sanction

    In mitigation Mr Scally explained the majority of the fanbase came from the Medway towns (para 15). What has that got to do with it?

    ARE FOOTBALLERS REALLY FITTER THAN EVER ?

    In all sports it is very difficult to establish what is the "right' amount of training/practice. Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis were talking about this, on Hendry's youtube channel. Both were prodigious practicers, but there may come a point where more practice is futile or even starts having...

    Ah but you can never be proved innocent, you are presumed innocent unless otherwise proven guilty. And the audio may or may not be taken out of context, i am not saying that this is the case here but what if a snippit of an audio was released of a couple role playing? Without the benefit of all...
