Trav an unused sub again for Ipswich. I've a feeling that Eustace would like his determination and influence back here for the run in.

John Fleck out for the rest of the season. He lasted 15 minutes in a Rovers shirt. Another great signing in the window!
Somebody found the correct button on the fax machine for him. :mad: :imp::mad:

Must be some sort of record non-appearances! I remember we signed Martin Britt from West Ham and he only lasted a game. A desperate signing on deadline day which has blown up in our faces!

Freak injury when his foot caught in the ground wasn't it?

Not whilst we have the academy Dave. I don't know how long we can afford a cat A academy but it has served us well to attract those that drop out of the big clubs academies.

It’s his last chance to make some money and he honestly deserves it if it will happen.

I bet there is a big sell on clause to go to Peterborough. Yes Sammy deserves a big payday for what he has done for us this year. Sadly we are fast becoming a small club, thanks venkys.

I've got news for you ODB...... We ARE a small club and since the abolishment of the maximum wage, subsequently followed by regulations which allow home clubs to keep their gate money followed by FOC for players we've gone ever smaller. Do you not read bluenadwhite's posts?

How would you describe us? Two facts for you.

1. Of the original 12 founder members of the Football league only Accrington and Notts Co currently have smaller attendances.
1888 – The 12 founder members of the Football League are Accrington, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Derby County, Everton, Notts County, Preston North End, Stoke (as they were known at the time), West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

2. Of the original founder members of the Premier League only Wimbledon and Oldham currently have lower attendance figures,
The 22 inaugural members of the new Premier League were Arsenal, Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Everton, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest, Oldham Athletic, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Wimbledon.

If you want to follow a big local club then sorry, it won't be BRFC. It can only be Lanky United. :imp:

I knew you'd say that ODB but I was rather rather hoping for a comment on the content.

Ok then in terms of size of turnover, crowds and profit revenue we are relatively small. We are however in terms of trophies won still one of the big clubs. We are the only town team to win the premier league and also the only club to have been founder members of both the football and the premier league which has won both. That do you?
