Re: Robins Report Podcast

In terms of fan engagement they do the bare minimum and only what's mandated. It's clear that there are a couple who are quite happy having their free lunches and free tickets to away games and whatever else they get and care more about their status on the club's board than working to actually move ...

Re: CTFC Retro Shirt #3

That truly is a thing of beauty.

Of course this was the shirt we wore in the FA Cup 1st round replay against Peterborough. For the first time we were the main game on BBC Sportsnight. I used to have it on video, sadly now lost.

Re: EFL Playoff Finals

Im sure the fans would rather go to Crewe than Crawley, so...whoopie. Definitely a big shame seeing Crewe lose a play off final...:P Was weirdly similar to our 2012 final as well. Sunny day, 1 down at half time, sealed with a late goal. Although I remember us playing better than Crewe did today. As...

Re: Manager no nearer

Why is it a red flag? He has a year on his deal and the club are trying to protect themselves by offering him a longer one. Presumably with clauses in should another club come in for him. He might feel that he's happy with his current terms so will sit on that for now. Being no nearer does not mean ...
