Title: What’s the chances? Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 16:38:31 Of us swapping places with the piss stains next season. They are floundering, managerless and seeking an owner. Pep Clothhead has sown the seeds of relegation - just need a Freddy Fuckwit type to get the manager’s seat and finish the job.
I’d love it, love it. Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 16:40:23 I think they'll stay up and we won't be promoted. It'd be nice though.

I’d love it, love it. I'm surprised to hear this, the last time I looked they were about 8 or 9 points off the Div 3 PO, considering they've never made the PO's in their history, you'd think that represents success.

I'd also really love the chance to play Reading in a league fixture again.

They did in the Conference, lost to Exeter I think. To be honest, I don't give a rats arse what Oxford do. If they go down, it will be funny that their era of dominance lasted all of 2 seasons, if they stay up then its a chance to get one over them like the good old days. Providing we go up, of course. I think I want MK to go down more. And Reading. Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 17:13:26 They did in the Conference, lost to Exeter I think. Non league doesn't count, unless you're talking non league, which happily we aren't yet. We played in the Southern League PO's in 1895, against Gills (then New Brompton) Agree that Franchise and Reading going down would be sweet. Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: RedRag on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 18:04:42 Don't care whether Conference playoffs count or not.
Swindon boy, Chris Zebrowski, missed the crucial penalty for the Pox that sent Exeter through. Still a sweet memory. Not unlike that of Martin Ling's Orient condemning the Pox to the Conference in the first place. Would love to see Stadium MK host 4th tier football. Not sure if it ever has done? Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 18:17:14 Has Winkleman pulled the plug on financing them? Wonder what happened to the £5m Dele Alli money. I’ve never forgiven them for handing us our arses on a plate live on TV in the now distant play off season.
Haven’t Preston done well since. Could be a cracking L1 next season with local clubs. Much rather play Reading than Oxford (again), although I reckon Flitcroft’s lot would beat them at the moment. Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: chalkies_shorts on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 18:19:10 Couldn't give much of a fuck about Reading - would be good to play them as near and would have plenty of tickets. Would be good if Franchise go down and then out of the league and then out of business. As for the Scum, absolutely love to seem them down.
i agree with jayo though don't think they'll go down, don't think we'll go up. Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 18:22:37 Well, I had a free fiver bet available on Skybet so I’ve invested it in a double.
Piss stains to be relegated 6/1 Town to be promoted 9/4 Just over 20/1 for the double Title: Re: What’s the chances?

I’ve never forgiven them for handing us our arses on a plate live on TV in the now distant play off season. Always like these questions. It's like when Swindon fans want to know where the transfer fee money went after all the other sales as if we don't have running costs Haven’t Preston done well since.

Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: Mother Brown on Wednesday, February 21, 2018, 19:32:23 Headington Utd to get relegated and Swindon Town to get promoted . . . . more chance of platting snot.

He was a minor shareholder apparently and there's questions over how he can afford it, among other things. Not that I know anything about him myself.
Title: Re: What’s the chances? Post by: Tails on Friday, February 23, 2018, 12:17:42 The Thai Consortium had to give up Reading because they couldn't afford the running costs, they were way out of their depth and seemed more interested in the land than the football club itself. I imagine the cost of running a L1 club is probably a lot less, but they're still making big losses and the losses Reading made with "Tiger" there got bigger & bigger with nothing to really show for it (no really big transfer fees, wage budget reduced etc). I think he was partly responsible for bringing Jaap Stam in, though, so they were very close to the Premier League.
Could go either way. Title: Re: What’s the chances?

I recall that they retained the land around the ground when they sold Reading.... Title: Re: What’s the chances?
