We believe you are a gnats whisker away from 44k and we are likely to scrape past 30k plus any pay on the days...... and the Jimmy Hill flag is going in the gap between us on the top tier so we hear? Thats a really bigggggg dot ! :happy:

@Liquid Gold does anyone still subscribe? In the wonderful world of streaming services and live social media broadcasting its possible to watch many games buckshee. And that will be another problem..... things like FB will be the next platform in the bidding war....then who needs those pesky...

Anyway.......back on track. Saw the "build up" on Sky.... looks like its Coventry vs Coventry and you are filling Wembley on your own ..... :shifty::shifty::happy: Feckin hate Sky..... its when it all started going tits up........... anyone remember the first ever "pay to view" game ?

Sadly its exactly the cycle we went through when we were dropping like a stone. Bad times make people look for the bad in each other. There is one consistent in a football club.... us mugs that pay our hard earned cash out week in week out..... those folk you see at every game are no different...

Maybe its because most of us who have followed any club for a long time have learnt that, short of winning the Euro-millions, we will just buy our season tickets for our club .........and after that it really is "hope for the best, fear the worst .......and be happy if its somewhere in the...

@Grendel pretty much spot on. Appleton talks a lot about "DNA" , he wants players that want to play for us even if its only a stepping stone for their career. If players aren`t up to the mark in matches, training and so on they are soon on the way out .... we had a lad called Dan Crowley in...

"Give up" ?? Good grief man!! Take him out & shoot him.....cowardice in the face of the enemy. :facepalm: Only kidding.... its not an easy job unless you have previous experience......:happy:

We had you at 42,840 but then some "re-appeared" and others get sold/go into baskets which makes it a challenge for dotologists. I would say it`ll be a definite over 43k by the end of today. @Liquid Gold is letting your side down a bit..... As we are unable to utilise the interactive seating...

Back to dots......... we have stopped online sales but have now decided to open the ticket office for personal callers. That means we can`t dot count our sales ....... but we can observe yours......and maybe even count them...:bag: If only we had sold them in person for a few more weeks...

Much the same as last year as long as we turn up, give you a good game and have a good day out in the smoke that`ll do me.... the result is a little bit immaterial, if we win great..if we lose I won`t be throwing myself under a train! :happy: PS: Take a big bag or pocket for the...

What keeps us afloat (currently) is bringing players through our academy/youth set up: Callum O`Dowda to Bristol C for £1.2 million which could rise to £1.6 million on appearances plus 30% sell on clause. The scouting system is also fairly good at finding the occasional "gem" from elsewhere...

@ovduk78 we won it in `86 Captain Bob was around till he went overboard........ think that was `91 then we were taken over by Biomass Recycling and things got a bit shitty!! Little known fact about the Milk Cup final..... Maurice Evans, who had taken the helm after Jim Smith left, let Ken Fish...

Thames Valley Royals......... we just sat on the pitch 2,000 or so of us must have been towards the end of the `83 season...... protest march`s in Reading & Oxford..... Maxwell hated it, basically said if you don`t like it piss off.... which made us more determined..... think it was the Reading...

Maxwell was another character..... just using other peoples money with so much front nobody ever questioned him..... then he fell off. :happy: Football chairman/owners rarely get where they are with out stepping on a few folk on the way up.

I can think of many worse....... Kassam is a character hes lurched from bankruptcy to a net worth of £220 million...... he`s taken opportunity as a business man others missed.....................and he isn`t SISU !!

Intransient landlord whose current end game is to sell the football ground & car parks for housing,as it is inside the city council boundary and offers prime development space next to his hotels & leisure complex. Then factor on the supportersTrust who have recently slapped a community interest...

Ownership ....... well we`ve had Mr Kassam who "took us on a journey"..... almost to non-league oblivion. Shrewd & tough businessman who bought the Manor for a nominal fee (£1 is quoted but it was nearer £5 million with debt etc) and took on our half built ground (when it REALLY was half built)...

Back to dots.............you have broken 43k we are predicting high 29k maybe 30k. :happy:

It was a long time ago.... and no not a Uni type! :joyful:

Indeed...... just over 5k there.................................... I wasn`t!
