Blackpool no doubt hoping to pick up a number of Livvie cast offs. Not a bad tactic is it?

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Wonder if he'll keep Dunny on?

 

[Drog]

I doubt it. Blackpool will be busting their budget just getting him. Anyway we'll see.

Thought they would have gone for somebody with loads of experience. That fella has been dealing with youngsters. Totally different. Getting some players that have been anywhere near LFC can only be a good thing, Maybe.

Coleman has done pretty well with young Scouse lads though hasn’t he? I don’t mean in that way by the way before someone pulls me up. I also don’t mean pull me in that way either.

Bolton voted to be relegated from League 1.
Couldn't happen to a better set of thug supporters. I can't stand them!

Yep!! Living in the Chorley area in my Teens I hated that lot. Remember the mid-seventies. Always a battle. Fazackerley '73 I think. Was there. Burnden horrible place.

I was in the Lever End with a mate . His uncle ( a Wanderers fan ) took us . If my memory isn’t totally shot , Charlie Wright dropped a cross at Faz’s feet for a tap in right in front of us . The natives weren’t happy . Lots of trouble in the away end that night from what I could see . Over 30,000 on I think .

Half-time was when it usually kicked off at Burnden wasn't it? The gates would open and whoosh! A blur of reindeer jumpers, taches and bubble perms.

This is a great story.
After being royally shafted by the powers-that-be allowing their club to, in effect, become a franchise and move to Milton Keynes, AFC Wimbledon started from scratch and now have their own stadium again.
Congrats and bloody well done to them!

And they've won something in living memory

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

3m! Wonder why that lot that who are in at Burnley didn't buy Wigan and chuck a few quid in to them? It's a better stadium for starters.

Ssssh, prem tv money. Don’t tell the filthy inbred though.

Watched a bit of the Stanley game last night . They looked a decent side and were too good for Charlton. Now in the playoff places , 8 points behind top of the table Lincoln with 4 games in hand . Like Dyche , John Coleman is a miracle worker .

 

[Drog]

He is and one wonders why the likes of him and Keith Hill etc have never been given a chance higher up the Leagues.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

He was given a chance at Rochdale and flopped didn’t he?

It's a while since I saw a keeper score from a goal kick

Newport goalkeeper Tom King scores from his goal kick

Newport County goalkeeper Tom King scored from his own goal kick as his giant wind-assisted kick flew over Cheltenham Town's Josh Griffiths in the opposite goal.

Balls these days being far removed from the old Mitre Max and Multiplex that we played with that's for sure. It was a weird bounce too, it seemed to bound forward..

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

So we will play either Blackpool or Lincoln next season (Lincoln will be a new ground for me if we are allowed to visit - they have a brilliant atmosphere btw, unlike at Rovers). Sunderland will spend at least another season in League 1 after losing to Lincoln over two legs
