I think that the perfect bound versions of the last couple of years were particularly costly to print. If programmes are going to remain viable then the club needs to minimise the costs and get a couple of reliable advertisers. Following the vote that confirmed that printed programmes are no...

Totally agree on Nick Powell. Further back two Welsh goalkeepers stand out - Neville Southall (who was sensational in the cup ties in 1983/84) and David Felgate (played brilliantly on numerous occasions for Lincoln). In the Championship days, I remember Darren Huckerby being almost unplayable...

It's worth noting that we played Bristol Rovers in a League 2 fixture on 17 Dec 2011 and got a crowd of 7750 (we also won 4-1) at a time when we were hovering outside the play-offs. Standard ticket prices that season were 24 on the day, and our average crowd at the time was 5,200. The reason...

Given that there were 1300 away fans, that means 1700 empty seats in the Town End. With a capacity of 11,500, the maths suggests a similar number of empty seats in the rest of the ground which is highly unlikely. I assume all the free tickets given away at Bluewater this week were included...

In answer to the original question....it was one month before we let Cody go. He scored four in eight in March / April (Bury, MK Dons, 2 x Bristol Rovers). He hasn't made 8 starts for Wimbledon yet, which probably backs up your point....

I think it was Karl Elsey that scored the first half hat-trick against Freddie Barber's Walsall on New Year's Day 1987. Eves was a bit part player for us (we had Cascarino and Shearer....) but hugely popular - fully committed and still talented. His finest ten minutes was coming on as a late...

I would say Neil Masters, never got fit - apparently a great player but we never got to judge. George Shipley is another unlucky one - everything was going great in 1987/8 until he did his knee in September. Out for the season and when he returned Keith Peacock was gone and the club was in...

We did lose 2-1 at Priestfield on Boxing Day 1989, after we were relegated to Division 4 on the same day at they were promoted from the Conference. Sir Keef was the Squatters' manager (and indeed got a great reception on his first return) but his son Gavin didn't play - he left for Bournemouth...

I think Lovell has lost a yard of pace - Pennock easily beat him to the corner flag when the third went in....

I would suggest that we should be doing our best to keep anyone who can average a goal every three games in this division (Cody got 5 in 15 appearances last season, 12 in 42 this), especially in a struggling side and with no strike partner. His strike rate was more like 1 in 2 when he partnered...

With Cody there are two things to consider : respect and faith. Anyone who has scored 80 goals for the club should be respected by everyone, and sadly that hasn't always been the case. Faith is another matter and is of course a personal opinion....I've always been a huge fan and have been...

Bristol City battered us 4-2 in the JPT when Matt Smith scored the lot.... I think it's our heaviest home defeat in this division since Exeter stuffed us 5-1 in 1980, a result that left me traumatised as an 10 year old. We lost to Charlton, Maidstone in the cup and Millwall in the next three...

"Last season we had the worst defensive record in the league" - absolute rubbish, we had the 8th best defensive record in the league. "Are we playing better footfall than 18 months ago?" - of course we are....surely we all remember the terrible terrible performances under Peter Taylor? That...

Agree on Quigley, really impressed. I wasn't too excited at the prospect of someone with so little experience but he knows what he's doing. I think he could link up well with Cody. We made and missed a lot of chances and 2-0 massively flattered the Os at half time. I'm not too concerned....I've...

I absolutely agree on momentum, whether it's pre-season, keeping a winning side for lower priority cup competitions or international tournaments. But then last season's pre-season games gave absolutely no indication that we would start the season in such sensational form....I saw a laboured win...
