    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2021/22 Edition

    That post was from me.We did absolutely everything we could, tried all alternative options, but without 100% backing from Russell Martin Foundation after Whitehawk's money overlords overruled their chairman and put a ludicrous figure on the ground share that was that. Gutted, but no regrets...

    [Music] Half Man Half Biscuit

    A much deserved and ridiculously delayed tribute. One of the greatest bands in the history of the world, certainly the finest four piece ever to come out of Merseyside, led by a lyrical genius. Every time I burn my fingers while cooking, get a cold call from a loft conversion company...

    [Albion] 25 years ago today - and, today, dedicated to the fans of Oldham Athletic

    GOLDSTONE GHOSTS As bulldozers close in upon our old, beloved home and those who stand to profit rub their hands so we gather here together in sad, angry disbelief and for one last time our voices fill the stands. This is no happy parting, but a battle-scarred farewell though victory hopes are...

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

    I follow, hardly ever go, but frankly, the people running SCCC need a big dose of what Archer got. But fan protest doesn't happen in cricket, does it? :)

    [Albion] Tonight's Goldstone anniversary event

    Simple message to say I'd have loved to have been there but I've got a gig in Cheltenham, booked months ago. I'll be thinking of you all and with you in spirit. When I wrote those words a few days before the Donny game I KNEW we'd be back, and here we are. 'And one day, when our new home's...

    [Albion] Whose fault is this whole "not scoring goals" thing?

    A predictable, money sodden procession of a league (not just here, but here is worst) which puts such a high price on top class strikers that a few clubs have all the good ones either playing or warming their bench while the rest have to make do with the leftovers. And when one of the...

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    Utterly 100% correct. Potter realises that his dream of constructing a team which could make European competition a reality is going to be permanently hamstrung by the fact that plutocrats will constantly cherrypick the best bits, leaving 15th or so our spot for ever.

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    Back on the road, greetings from Manchester, four gigs in the NW around the City game. (40 years of linking gigs and games: it is so hard now. Ah, City's 3pm Sat, brilliant,I thought - not Friday night, not Sat 1.30 pm or 5.30 pm, or Sunday 12.30 or 4.30, or Monday. But......it gets postponed...

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    This is just an idea, corroborated by reports I have heard. it may not be the case - shouldn't be theoretically, but when a carefully constructed edifice has one of the central planks pulled away it can have a powerful effect.

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    No, it's simply my opinion, rarely expressed on this board these days for you to have your customary go at, Beachy :)

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    Yes, I'd like us to be part of something far, far better, like the Bundesliga, where money still plays a role, but not to such a ludicrous extent, and ticket prices are affordable to all. It's eminently possuble with the right political wiil, which is obviously on gardening leave with Dan Ashworth.

    [Albion] Saudi regime buying Dan Ashworth: the undelying cause for our collapse in form?

    I am not surprised by reports that the Albion management and board was shocked to the core by Ashworth's resignation, given the apparent closeness between him, Potter and Barber and the essential role he was playing at the club. We were (hopefully still will be) creating something a bit special...

    [Travel] P and O

    Not happening in France because the billionaire filth know French workers would shut down the ships, the ports and the motoways leading to them, and a lot of French people would stand in solidarity with them.

    [Football] Should Abramovich be thrown out of football

    'Glasnost i perestroika' translates as 'openness and reconstruction', not 'let's give the entire Soviet economy to a few individuals to spend on footballers and facelifts' Of course he should!

    Best season from the best team we've ever had. Simple really.

    [Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

    Unsavoury scumbags are sportswashing and plundering all over football, and not just the Premier League - whether the horrendous Saudis, the disgusting Eastern European 'oligarchs' with their fortunes plundered from their countries' GDPs or the run of the mill domestic asset-strippers and...
