Didn’t realise Rigalletos had gone , what a shame.
Always enjoyed going in there and the food was always very good.Will be a very tough season as I think the division is far stronger than it has ever been.
A season like Blackpool had with 60
Or so points would be fantastic but we still have a league 1 standard team really unless some signings are made or players like Asgard and Lang step up and do well.
The home form will be crucial given how bad the away form was last time we graced the division.
As for the new kit, very 2006-7 retro isn’t it ! Always baffled as to why they keep switching from the lovely blue stripes back to the dark blue.
And 47 quid?, seriously ??Seems fair to me , policing costs will have gone up given the increase in crowd disorder in and around grounds over the past year.
Blackpool travelled to Southport over the weekend and there was disturbances there serious enough to have the game paused for 10 minutes or so.
Admittedly it appeared to be schoolchildren acting up before being chased away but it’s becoming a common occurrence and that means policing bills will increase unfortunately at certain games
For fooks sake it’s almost six bloody quid to get a pint in a certain pub in Pem of all places at the minute I am reliably informed.
Rather the club charge the going rate and stay solvent and ensure safety for the decent supporters.Cant see how the teams coming from the premier league can fail with those massive budgets they have although have my doubts about Burnley with that money they allegedly have to pay.
Sunderland might be a dark horse in my opinion , was impressed with their team last season especially the second stringers who outclassed us here in the league cup last September. The positive bounce might work in their favour but it is very rare we see teams move straight through after league 1 promotion these days.
I will take fourth bottom right now for the Tics and build from there with a sound youth policy etc and prudent signings and a sensible sustainable wage bill if that is possible. We perhaps have been promoted ahead of schedule but i have faith in the management and want the club to stay with them.I’d imagine thinks will start moving on July 1st like it usually does in the lower divisions.
Free transfers and loans will be our market i would expect.My take on it is let’s say me and few mates say 20 all have 10 million quid each and then pool it to make 200 million quid.
We then make up a currency unit and then put it out there as a value and invite others to invest.
As more investors join it the value increases and when enough is received me and my mates bail out with our new ‘values’ of maybe 5 times our ten million initial investment and then watch the fund value reduce overnight.
We sail off with our money and revel at how thick and stupid our investors were !
In short it’s a very risky investment and I certainly wouldn’t try it , stick it in a pension plan is best advice.Won’t be easy to stay in the championship but given how low things were about to get this time 2 years ago it feels like a resurrection.
Great opportunity for the club and we couldn’t have asked for a better opening fixture.Great day for the club and town and the buzz it created was incredible.
The club has weathered many storms but always seems to come out on top.
Another chapter starts next season and despite limited expectations I have a good feeling we will do very well.After many years of dislike towards Sunderland especially since that disgraceful wind/ crap decision induced victory over 10 years ago I was sort of glad they won the play offs.
Next season will be very hard and I’ll take 4th bottom right now however have a very good vibe about next season already !Amazing achievement in one of the strongest league one for many years.
80 points to get in the play offs and incredible to see this brilliant makeshift squad win the division.
Leam and the owners have done a great job restoring this club back to where they should be !
Btw feck off you South Yorkshire freeloading vultures , hope you are cursed for many years !!How exciting though to be top of the league and maybe only one point from the title.
arguably the toughest ever league 1 season to date in my view.
80 points might not even be enough to make the play offs such is the quality this year and we should so
Proud of them all if we get the promotion we deserve.
