CB Fry Posted 6 February, 2016 Share Posted 6 February, 2016 (edited) They're also 28th/72 for travelling fans (pure numbers) in the FL, but bless 'em they ARE top of L2 for this, right there with the 21st ranked Championship side (Cardiff), and behind the 7th best away attendance in League One (Preston). http://www.football-league.co.uk/documents/travelling-fans-highest549-2598181.pdf Hah. That's what happens when I start a post and then don't finish it. Don't those numbers look high though? Middlesbrough are taking, on average 6,800 away fans to every match? I'm saying no they aren't. In fact the entire 2014/15 column looks ridiculous. Bristol City taking an army of 5,000 all round the country in league one last season when the likes of Sheffield Weds and us didn't get anywhere near that in our day down there...nah. This article from a couple of years ago looks more accurate. http://origin-www.football-league.co.uk/page/AttendanceStats/0,,10794~2405279,00.html Edited 6 February, 2016 by CB Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted 6 February, 2016 Share Posted 6 February, 2016 you little beauty. You just don't know how long I've waited to get the opportunity to drop this seamlessly into the thread. What do you mean. Fred and friends seem to be doing a grand job [video=youtube;zS1-aoUNBbE] 1min:30 in Love the way they misspelt Fred's name on the caption in that clip. ITV couldn't even spell their own employee's name right, proving that even in 1970 they were a high-class quality channel staffed by people just like their target audience.

Mr Biscuits Posted 6 February, 2016 Share Posted 6 February, 2016 I had Solent on in the background while I was building some models this afternoon, a few things I picked up: 1) best support ever? The ground was really quiet except for the incessant noise coming from TCWTB 2) one comment I picked up was that the skates need to WIN something like 13 of their remaining matches this season to achieve something - can't member if that's achieve automatic promotion or to stay in the playoff places. If it's to get into the automatic slots then I think it's safe to say that's not going to happen. Tbh with their current run of form I can see them just missing out on playoffs.....

Golden Balls Posted 6 February, 2016 Share Posted 6 February, 2016 I was certain they'd go up and almost certain they'd go up as champions. They should do really. But there's a real chance they might even miss out on the play offs. Not only would that be a catastrophe but hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Its a classic tale of hero becoming zero... But when a manager starts crying about negativity just two questions into an interview, you know he's rattled. Martin Hopkins sounds like a nipper finding his feet and just trying to keep the managers words flowing rather than having any sort of agenda. Cook doesn't have the brains to see that though and has made himself look like a chump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 13 wins was for automatic promotion, seems to be in line with some figures on here a few days ago, before their latest defeat. Newport will be visiting Fratton again fairly soon, starting to look forward to it again after 6 months of expecting a humping. In terms of the playoffs, they have two games in hand to catch up the one point behind the team in 6th (who they just lost to at home), and 2 games to reel in the 2 points to the team in 5th (Mansfield), and only one game in hand to overhaul the 2 points to Bristol Rovers in 4th. But then Accrington in 8th have 2 games in hand on them to overhaul only goal difference. Not that finishing 4th makes any difference as it's still the play-offs, and the team in 3rd are 6 points ahead with a game in hand. And of course you have to win your games in hand as well...

rallyboy Posted 7 February, 2016 Share Posted 7 February, 2016 Just listened to the Cook interview - he has no class. He complained that the interviewer was only asking negative questions, after a home defeat - and that he did the same at the previous home defeat. Perhaps he has been spoilt by the club's official PR agency The News and doesn't like the sound of reality. He is rattled and losing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterside.saint Posted 7 February, 2016 Share Posted 7 February, 2016 Has one team ever lost so many Cup Finals in one season? They're only Cup Finals for the lucky clubs who get the chance to play them. Its beneath their dignity really to play against such lowly opposition, so the pluckiest only field weakened teams of junior players from their vast squad, all of whom would willingly pay handsomely for the privilege of being interns in the Barca of English football.
