Re: The last two.- standing package
In fact I may even go to the other extreme in this particular situation and give the away fans blocks 7/8 in the CF only and have the Hazelwoods for home fans. Do a big advertising campaign on social media etc. maybe kids for a tenner and get as much of the ground CTFC as possible to get behind the...

Re: The last two.- standing package
indeed, nothing like giving the team any small advantage that may help them get one of their needed wins. Clowns Steady on. I happen to agree that the CF should be for home fans only and that the club should work to fill it for every game (as it was for Port Vale). But it's possible to disagree wit...

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end
I've never seen Port Vale as Portvale before. Whichever one turns up, anything other than a draw is a bad result for us. Worst result is a Burton win. We can't be happy with anything less than 3 points at Fleetwood, unless we absolutely steal a point. We have to beat the teams down around us and in...

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end
Saturday is a day where things may become a little clearer with Burton at home to PortVale. I presume a draw would be the ideal result for us. A win for Portvale may give them confidence to go on a little run with their up and coming games. Again we don't want Burton getting 3 points and stretching...

Re: The last two.- standing package
Exeter were initially only given the Hazlewoods and sold out very quickly. Alas there are still plenty of tickets available in the CF for home fans. Even in the central blocks. I can understand why they don't want to turn away guaranteed income when Exeter asked for more tickets. Can see that to a ...

Re: League One - clubs in crisis
As the Manager said a clay layer was not helping drainage at Seasons putting turf from Reading on top would not help 3G pitch would. And obviously we would need to sort the clay and drainage before any new turf or seed goes down - didn’t think it needed saying. ‘Sort the clay’? Like it’s that easy?...

Maybe we should make a bargain basement offer to buy Reading’s 3G training pitch and the turf from their other pitches to lay at Seasons.

Re: Gloucestershire football

The only saving grace is that being such a regionalised league most players can make away games after work whatever d...

Peterborough should know if they are on the mid-table beach or still in the playoff hunt. We will know exactly what they are playing for, ...

Whilst I appreciate the effort and maybe a little bit of bad luck today for them, it has to change. Somehow. Can't keep saying hard luck afte...

There does seem to be an aloofness from Reading fans about the mess they're in. They seem to want to blame everyone and everything and unless it's helpful to them then you're the enemy.

Re: League One - clubs in crisis
Sky Sports News reported that the training ground was owned by a different company to the football club (both owned by Dai Yonge) so I guess he could just by a yacht.

Re: 16 years ago today
Thinking back to that game it’s amazing how much football has changed. Young defenders on loan these come as tall lean suntanned ball players, not like Keogh who looked like a weather beaten 40 year old when we signed him. I don’t think there’s space for players like Alex Russell in the EFL these da...

If the match fit league one striker capable of scoring 5 or 6 match winning goals in 9 games does just happen to be out there raring to go for £2-3k a game I expect we are trying to tie him down.

I think he will stay as he doesn't seem the type to jump ship when the going gets tough. I do think a few people on here and social media are unaware how tough next season could be.

Re: Darrell Clarke after Oxford United defeat
If we go down hopefully DC sees it as unfinished business. By the end of the season he will have had 34 or 35 games whilst our relegation rivals all had 46. He knows if he had 46 games we would have stayed up. I hope that means he wants to get us straight back up then keep us up to complete the job.

Re: Oxford United v Cheltenham Town
what does Clarke see in Nuttall? Given he has barely picked him until there was no other option, I suggest not a lot. why’s he at the club then? We needed a big striker with experience and probably signed the one we able to afford and who was willing to sign. Same we way we end up with most signings.
