Swindon v Aldershot Matchday Thread

[Jimmy HaveHave]

A little late

[bathford]

So from that, there will be additions if required. So can we say with any confidence that Flynn will have cash available.

If things were as bad as some want to believe why would he extend his contract🤔

Exactly! 

[Quagmire]

Exactly!  

Would you leave a paid job if you had nothing to go too?

People seem to think lower league football is different, there are thousands of people around the country in jobs they hate. Unless you have somewhere better to go - you stick to where you are so you can pay the bills.

to protect himself from dismissal, to protect the club from being ripped off

I agree he's not going to sign if he wanted out asap. 

***it's good news.***

But in terms of showing intent of staying a long time it's pretty irrelevant.

Barnsley 3 Horsham 3
There goes any chance of a replay being on TV😁

good that cup replays still exist. this cup is still the heart of english football and needs to be retained as much as possible

I can remember In 1979 Arsenal played Sheffield Wednesday five times in a FA Cup tie.

[sir windon]

I recall that but hadn’t realised 3 of the games were played at Filbert Street.

only for fans, particularly those of us in the lower mlleagues.

Top clubs largely couldn't give a fuck v Europe and league.

I remember when I realised. 2008 and teams line Reading and players like a Dave Kitson binning it off ...

I think fans of every club only like the FA Cup when it suits them.
Our attendance will be a lot lower today than it was our last home game for example, because many don’t give a shit about watching us play Aldershot.
If we win today and get Colchester for example in the next round, no one will go.

Fwiw as of 3pm yesterday we had sold 3,200 tickets. Obviously there will be quite a few that will just POTD (no shit captain obvious)

I think Reading would be grateful of any cup run right now… they are being docked points for fun but the EFL…
