Re: Cheltenham Town v AFC Wimbledon

I actually heard someone say yesterday that it was like the WE days - I think some of us would love finishing mid-table in League 1 like we did under WE (but we're not allowed to mention that of course). As Shade says, the flip-flop from one extreme to the other is bloody exhausting. We win and we'...

Re: Match Fixing in the Conference - Great podcast

I think Bradbury will only ever be seen as back up for anyone who isn't a defensive team, or struggling towards the bottom of League 2. As mentioned, he's not the fastest, and his ball playing skills, although better than the likes of Raglan, aren't that great. Although I would say he hasn't let us...

if the lease is up (whenever) the club need to get in there and make a proposal to buy it, I presume they will need to approach the council but surely they can own it and have it still operate for the community in the week.
