Richie Wellens.. so far.

[Exiled Bob]

A list of every other "Brexit voting town" who played at home on Saturday and witnessed a sharp upturn in home support on the day would be welcome.

Quite.....as Reg only deals in facts he can surely come up with the relevant data to back his argument up.

The crowd was a very unique event - we've struggled to get such crowds even with success in higher divisions in the past, outside of the last game or two, or massive away followings/Prem league.

Very impressive work by the club to build a sense of rarity.

Very much so.

Bear in mind when we were in the Premier League that attendance was bigger than at 7 games (home and away) that season in games involving Swindon and only a few hundred lower than 3 others games, 5 of those 10 sub 13k games being home games.

FWIW one of the games under 13k in that season was  a paltry 11,180 away at Stamford Bridge!

[Peter Venkman]

Also if you take into account the Hoddle promotion season, in the whole season we only had more than 13,000 for games vs Birmingham, Pompey, Leicester, West Ham and Bristol City, the shitty game was only 100 more than we got on Saturday.

That was an amazing turn out on Saturday all things considered.

Even the Tranmere play off was only 1k more.

That Birmingham game was practically free entry as well.

We had 17.5k against Newcastle

Fingers crossed eh.

Take the opportunity.... what do you think about the club getting some money for a youth teamer..... good, bad, indifferent?

What do you think about Wellens being the 36th longest serving manager of the 92, having done a year and 3 months  A sign that the nature of the game is short term stays or something else?

You haven't said.

But did that game coincide with a significant shift in the country's relationship with another country, or bloc of countries?

Money from Brighton for Ifill? Definitely good. Always difficult for smaller clubs to integrate a young ‘un into the side. Presume, like Bogle, there is a substantial sell on clause.

History is full of relatively new managers getting an opportunity with a club usually a couple of rungs further up the ladder - usually a disaster. If, and it’s a big if, Wellens believes that there is something afoot at STFC in the immediate future, he may decide to carry on riding the wave. Its not really STFC in isolation regarding decisions like this - every smaller club is some kind of stepping stone - whether for players or managers.

Anyway, was there actually any ‘old skool’ trouble? Looked like some posturing in The Merlin and some pavement dancing on Manchester Road.

Doubt the town fan that got a few slaps in the Merlin thought of it as posturing. Didnt see any but heard of a few bits down some of the side streets off manny road and a few along the Arkells after game.
Not forgetting them offering Rockin Robin out 

Not exactly old old skool tho.

What relevance is this to Richie Wellens.. so far?

Its almost like once again you are challenged and the goalpost start having a meander!

If you are so keen on having an informed debate, this question in response to one of your dead cats, seems hanging and demanding of your immediate attention.

Whilst all this naval gazing is jolly good fun, talking of Wellens did he say anything of interest during the phone in thingy last night?

He said that we had to sell Markus Ifill because of Brexit.
