Blackpool have only sold 2,000 tickets for Wembley. Good to see they can do a boycott properly.
Now that Spurs are using it as a home ground, might be a good time to stop using Wembley for lower league PO finals and other lower league, non league stuff. Blackpool-Exeter will do well to get 20,000. Much better to have used somewhere like Villa Park. At the weekend we had the FA Vase, South Shields v Cleethorpes. To compound the idiocy it was a 12:15 KO for TV. Far better to have played it at say the KC stadium. Our PO final v Preston had a smaller crowd than when we played an FA Cup neutral game v Forest at Villa Park

I have been saying for years that the play offs would be better suited to venues somewhere near half way between both sides playing, as the FA Cup semi's used to be.
Very few of the L1, L2, Conf, JPT games would get anywhere near capacity for Wembley.
Sheff Weds, Man City, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Cardiff, Stoke etc would all be better options.
For instance...Millwall v Bradford would have suited Villa Park well, Exeter vs Blackpool similar, Forest Gump vs Tranmere similar.
Makes travelling easier for non London based teams and probably a better atmosphere in a half full Villa Park vs a quarter filled Wembley.

That and they need to host football matches every now and again. The real question was 'do we need a national stadium?' - Alas...

Well the new manager has been chosen and will be announced next week for a very good reason and I think most fans will be happy with the appointment as he has done a good job at his current club. He only came into the betting odds on Friday but I put money on when the odds were good I put this same information on the advertiser site but people slagging me off saying I know jack shit. Well next week the name will be revealed so I've given two hints in this message on who it could be, Power will also be announcing some other good news but not sure when yet but it should put this club in good stead again another hint on what he may be announcing.

The thing that stood out for me here was 'Williams won just 20 of his 75 games in charge of the Robins' How did the fudge did he last so long? !!!!

I would keep quiet now if you want to pick up your winnings (inside information). The John Terry bets are probably not going to be paid out so ssssssssh

The small bets have, not those who lumped on at 100/1, it's under investigation

Quite, he's not going to say 'yes' given the timing.
