Quoted from buckstown
Goes without saying that Scunny are doomed but not sure who I'd rather have joining them
Assuming we're still in this league, the large one has a good track record in the conference, especially if Stevenage are prepared to chuck a few quid at it. Oldham are broke and badly run so unlikely to bounce back quickly
The dream scenario is us going up and Stevenage coming down, but if we stay in this league we may be better off with Oldham and the Scunts coming down


I can't believe he's only 59 but he's not been at this level for 10 years. Of course, having a wad of cash and brown envelopes would help most managers be successful but I'm beginning to wonder if Evans is pretty much done now.

Evans took Boston Utd straight through the Conference because of his managerial skills. Such a pity he did not get the job at the Old Shower Ground!

Big protest planned for Scunny’s next home game against Mansfield. Apparently, everyone is set to walk out in the 72nd minute (a reference to their 72 years in the football league



What ? Both of them !!  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Maybe they could just arrange for only 72 people to be there. Wouldn't put much of a dent in their average gate!

I'm still a bit flabbergasted that they are going down without a fight . Less than 2000 fans for some of the biggest games in their history tells me this isn't going to end well . I'm guessing if all goes wrong early next season then crowds of less than 1500 are to be expected . With Swann not putting money in , they will fall straight through the trap door . As we know too well this league is unforgiving, it will chew you up if you're not ready for it . My only way of looking at it positively is it's a certain 6 points for Town and one less team to worry about

A noble idea, except for the bit which overlooks that they’ll likely be 6-0 down by this point and everyone will have already left.


All 72 of them, will be empty

Please stop taking the urine out of their fan numbers, my taxi firm has already been hired to take the fans that leave the game early, we have a mini fully booked and a Nissan Micra on standby.

Surely you step down and release a statement at the same time? Fenty stepping down as Chairman didn't change a single thing for us and it will be interesting to see what this statement of his says.

I'm off to buy some popcorn...
