Town's striker bid in balance but club expect embargo to be lifted by tomorrow
           
           


  SWINDON Town remain extremely hopeful of emerging from embargo in the next two days, but doubts have surfaced over a deal to bring an experienced Premier League striker to the County Ground.

WOOHOO! 'extremely hopeful'!!!! 'next two days!'

So it's absolutely definitely going to be lifted by the end of tomorrow...outstanding  :sherlock:

Andy johnson

Jason Roberts

Its not him, he just had a hip op.

@BBCWiltshire: SPORT: @BBCWiltshire understands QPR and England forward Andy Johnson is a transfer target for #Swindon Town #stfc

Naming our transfer targets whilst still under an embargo probably won't help.

If he's up for it, this should be a good signing (if completed).

'The sun will come out.....tomorrow!'

http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?v=Yop62wQH498

Phew!  Thank god that's sorted.

I think radio wilts have probably ruined any chance of us getting him by announcing that.

Agreed! Would be a great signing if true.

Andy Johnson would be a fantastic signing at this level.....if it comes off.

I fear this as well

They were never going to not announce it though were they?

The Adver had the same line but didn't run it. Loyal, or stupid?

Adver slagging off BBC for naming him on Twitter saying they didn't name him in the interest of the club rather than the desperation for a story then decide to run the story anyway to fuel fire.

Not going to make any difference now the name is out there though is it?

Fans would only have moaned about the player not being named.

True.

More the fact that the adver are claiming to be above the BBC Wilts in terms of journalism ethics.

Wake me up when the embargo is lifted please!!! :zzz: :zzz:

Well nobody has woken me, so I guess another promised day has come and gone!

wake up

Tomorrow! Tomorrow
They'll lift it tomorrow
You're always a day away

Perhaps Jed is really on about lifting his shirt

Craig Lyus ‏@AdverSportCraig 12m
Sorry we've been slack answering questions. The boy Warren & myself are up against it today. Some news later, but not what you're expecting.

Jeebus!

Jed McCrory/McCoy: The boy who roooooaaaaaarrred wolf.

I'm expecting the embargo won't have been lifted...so this could be good news...

I was expecting the embargo not to be lifted, so I'm now hopeful.

I wouldn't be:

Craig Lyus ‏@AdverSportCraig 3m
Two bits of news, neither great, but not strictly embargo-related. Will tweet preview at 8ish.

What other kind of news is there?

I'm immune. Club closure aside, nothing can/will surprise me.

Brilliant just brilliant... so yeah thats my night over, everything turned off, watch the england game, go to sleep.

I am half expecting the mystery backers to have pulled out before we even know who they are , just cannot really second guess what is going to happen next. I have tried to remain positive and willing to give the new board the benefit of doubt but more bad news is going to really dent any goodwill they still have with the majority of the fan base. Lets just hope it is the fact they have found horse dna in the burgers and hotdogs

We've had so many little bits of shitty news over the last few months my reaction will be "meh" to whatever news comes out tonight

Is anybody able to do a cartoon Jed with excrement coming out of his mouth? One for his chum Murrall too, in the Gary Roberts/Jonathan Douglas style.

I would guess Johnson isn't fit enough to sign as one of the bits of bad news.

That is something we can deal with. In many ways, I hope that's the news.

I'm on it

The adver sports journo roles must be fucking great fun if you're not a town fan. Can't think of another lower league club where theres more going on, ever

If it was anything that special they'd be tweeting more details now in order to get the jump on other media.

I suspect you may be right

Burger vans outside the ground are not coming back next season

But Jason Roberts will be cooking up a barbecue outside the Town End when the weather improves.

Player/coach/chef?

Jesus christ, there is only so much a man can take from this club..

Could be anything. Injury news. Paolo issuing legals. Jed McC(r)o(r)y is Mike Diamandis step brother. Anything.

Craig Lyus ‏@AdverSportCraig 32s

Just to pre-warn you, the embargo remains. Page preview in two mins, followed by me answering your questions until I get bored.

The embargo remains, story up in two minutes...

Oh fucksticks. Looks like we will see the season out with the players we have. How far off return are some of the injured players e.g. Storey, T-A-H?

TAH is doing light training

Tah for letting us know.

Badum Tish

They like to add a bit of suspense don't they...?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BGTzMwQCcAE4aT_.jpg

Oh dear.

Bodin considering legal, cunt.
Johnston deal scuppered by BBC leak, cunts
Paolo is a cunt. But I need to read the article tomorrow to find out why

Bodin the bandwagon jumper

Well done bbc wilts. well fucking done

If Bodin sues then he is also a cunt

lets sum this up then
Bodin fucking us over
PDC fucking us over
BBC Wiltshire have joined the football league in fucking up our season by scuppering the Andy Johnson deal

Ammended!

At least Jed & co are still confident about the embargo being lifted tomorrow  ::)

Personally I don't buy the BBC excuse from Redknapp. What does it matter to him if the BBC reported it.

I must say good job.. good job to everyone involved.. lets have a round of applause everyone...

BBC Wilts, what a bunch of cunts.

And PDC can just fuck right off now.

Paolo has spoken to Arry and told him not to help us out, he is such a wanker

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse....It does !!

When is this circus ever going to leave town.

Hope Bodin has enough wonga to retire on - fucking twat

I actually feel sorry for Jed and Co. All of this happening before they arrived and just when we see something positive from them (Johnson), the fuckwits at the BBC screw that up.

How much did we get for bodin jnr to Torquay? Paid by who............. :eek:

I feel a little sorry for the new guys as a lot of these issues are nothing to do with them and as for the BBC I am still pissed off with the way they handled the breaking of the original admin story.

exactly batch, that's bullshit, was never gonna happen

Bodin cant be that fucking stressed, if it was that bad he wouldnt still be working at the club

Wouldn't say that, just a rubbish excuse from QPR.

That's what I thought.

Bodin has been signed off from work with stress...

Still don't know why Bodin is even still at the club. Paolo clearly didn't rate him so why didn't we pay up his contract like we did with all those players?

People blaming BBC but how did they find out?

Why all the Bodin hate? Look back at some of the posts back when PDC was slagging him off and the support he got. Put yourself in his position whether or not you thought he was doing a good job Bodins reputation was publicly ripped to shreds by PDC. If it was you in your job and someone you worked for constantly slagged you off in public you'd be pretty pissed and look to your employer for intervention and, dare I said support. STFC gave neither and therefore as an employee with a contract and rights, just like all of us in a job, Bodin has the right to feel shafted by the club. He should also seek damages from PDC, but no doubt he will have taken legal advice.

His son is shit and was fucked off and none of his youth players have been a real success and stayed in the first team - no wonder he is bitter.

BBC sensationalist Wise fucking something up - well done mate.

From the club

As were the adver. The adver didn't run it after being asked not to. The bbc ran it regardless.

Well, why didn't Bodin sue the club when PdC when he was still at the club then

Fucking cowardly cunt

You are probably right. Its a shame the wrong people are potentially being punished in this case.

Bodin has gone right down in my estimations if this is true.

If you want to sue the club because Paolo was nasty to you, why didn't you have the bollocks to front up when Di Canio was still at the club.

If you want something kept quiet, you don't tell anyone, least of all journalists.

The comment that really irked him was made after Di Canio left. The 'conference standard coach' remark to the BBC.

I agree

But it does seem as though in this instance there has been a breach of trust from the beeb. Can't see them being privvy to much information from now.

It's only the adver understanding that this is why the deal has broken down anyway.

Hopefully we can still get Jason Roberts in.

It's that prick Chris Wise that needs to get a roasting. He was the knob who 'broke' the administration story that led to the fire sale of the club in public, FL paper story etc etc. BBC integrity my arse, nothing better that gutter journalism. Knob.

Mmmm first time i've seen this so will do some digging. Anyway, without doing that first there is no doubt whatsoever that Bodin was treated like shit by Di Canio. I put that info out on here during early last season and there was little symapathy then. Now there will be even less.

Guessing now, but i think that things behind the scenes are in tatters. Bodin rode it out despite Di Canio's shunning of him for 18 months+. Why kick up now he's gone?

Is Bodin still at the club?

Nowhere to be seen when we had no manager - I thought it was strange then

Then nothing to with the club if PDC had left.

He should sue Di Canio, but you get the feeling he doesn't have the stomach for that

There is hope after all

Di canio was still here when he slated Bodin in the adver.

[url width=245 height=299]http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad185/swindon123/Pound-sign-exclamation_zps8d1dd171.gif[/url]

From a board that has shown fuck all signs of having any?

Surely, once PDC had left, the club can't be held responsible for what he says to the press.

Whether he is legally in the right or not the things that would suffer with any potential action would be the new board, the promotion push and the fans, none of whom were morally responsible for pdc's actions towards Bodin.

I sincerely hope he considers his options and decides it's not right to pursue. Couldn't deal with yet another set of good memories being tarnished right now.

Correct.

That's ridiculous. Chris Wise was bang on the money, the reason we nearly had a firesale is because we nearly went bust. It did lead to bad publicity though, granted.

This time if BBC were asked to keep schtum then blame the sports editor for ignoring it.

At least we still have Jason Roberts to look forward to, aye Chris....

Although in fairness to the bloke, his commentary is superb.

The football club distributed the availability of players, not Chris Wise.

Get a grip folks. Outsiders have nothing to do with this saga, all internal.

Name your source or don't bother.

I think Bodin had job protection from the previous board(Watkins in particular) so rode it out despite the treatment from Di canio. Why he would now potentially sue STFC i do not know?
I only worry about the board more after this revelation.

correct

Fair comment...can't see him going through with this anyway with his status at the club and amongst the fanbase.

Must have been bitter not to have been considered for the job in the first place and things then spiralled from there.

On another note, the embargo isn't going to be lifted in time, is it?

Maybe Kmac, like Di Canio, hasn't been impressed with him or his coaching and intends to replace him. Do youth coaches and the like have contracts that expire?

So Bodin's thinking of suing the club even though his issue is with someone no longer at the club.

Paolo fucking whinged non stop about us being under an embargo, even though he was partly at fault, is planning to sue the club, however the people he has issues with are also no longer at the club, therefore keeping us under an embargo.

Honestly, i'm lost for words, it's like a far-fetched episode of Dream Team.

I wonder what will happen in next weeks episode?

Where there's blame there's a claim. If this sign off thing is true then he needs to man up and stop watching daytime TV ads, and get back to work, this is sod all to do with the new board.

Can I just remind everyone that we're 2nd in the league with 7 games to play and a great chance of securing back to back promotions.

And why £75k?

Surely you usually sue for damages and get whatever the court awards

Fucking spot on.......
How was it Paolo's fault :hmmm:

I know, it's incredible that this seems to get overlooked by (myself included) most of us due to the absolute clusterfuck of everything else that's going on!

If we achieve promotion given everything that's gone on this season it will be nothing short of a miracle.

Kmac showed more interest within a week than Di canio ever showed in the youth set up. That's why it doesn't add up to me. There has to be more to this. I'm guessing this is board related.

I said partly his fault as he brought in all the players that pushed us over the wage threshold.

So how come the new lot are wanting to bring in four more then?...no one has left.

agree, but with all this going on,CAN we hang on :hmmm:

Martin, Bostock, Hollands, Ritchie?

Our home form has been patchy but we're doing alright away from home and our form against the top sides has been good. I think that even if we can't hold on to the auto promotion place then I'm confident we'll make the play-offs at least.

Benson and Cox too.

My guess is two years salary for the time di canio was here

Fair enough....but surely you cant blame him for bringing these in.....Martin aside they were quality.

Sorry....not having it........and dont mention Ritchie please Ginghino!!!

Wasn't it the unexpected fees for Troy and Collins wot dun it? Unfortunate and difficult to budget for.

And di canio and co, be all out the same budget wouldnt it?

I think he meant they were players who have subsequently left therefore leaving us with a little more room in the wage budget.

Fair enough.

I haven't got a clue but if so then that would probably halve it!

I think sometimes you get confused by your own 'points'

 :zzz: :zzz:

I'd be interested to know when he was signed off.  He was definitely at the Walsall game with the youths.  By then Di Canio was lobg gone and KMac was in charge.  As Arriba says, something doesn't add.

I honestly didn't think it could get any more messy, but somehow it has.  What an absolute joke we are becoming.

What the actual fuck is going on.

Bodin contemplating suing the club. Has he gone mad?

It stems back to when his lad was here i reckon.

Probably still got a lot of anger at how he feels the club treated Billy....though i feel he made his own bed.....Paolo gave him a decent run i reckon.

Just when it all seems sorted somethimg else pops up,lots of people giving the fl every reason to leave embargo in place

I am (rather stupidly)optimistic about the E being lifted tomorrow.

If you add Murrall's 100 pc sure to McCrory's 'will' be lifted tomorrow, what do we think the chances of it being in place this time tomorrow are?

Let us consult the pie chart:

https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-nO1BDU4Iwg5zEKFT2A3T_5FRQTMk8MLbPX8twphCKb6Tl7ld

They surely would not risk saying that if they hadn't had some sort of confirmation today? If it doesn't happen the pitchforks will be sharpened a little more and they'll go down further in supporter's estimation.

Ahhhhhhh but was does red represent, will be, or not a fucking chance

I think we all know the answer to that...

OMG now the Japs are involved

We're signing japanese players?

I think we are being sued because of Hiroshima

I think I'm turning Japanese!

I really think so

That would make more sense at the moment!

On reflection, perhaps black would have been a better colour

[url width=216 height=215]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHUv2I37fDc/Te_VNutWtHI/AAAAAAAAAF8/BMpptzCXu6s/s1600/Magic+8-ball.gif[/url]

Could Bodin 'considering' sueing be useful to the club as evidence of PDC's unreasonable behavour and therefore as mitigation in any court case against the club from PDC?

I think I could sue Town for the stress they've caused me

I'm off to the Winchester

:D

But Black is not a colour? Sorry just fed up of all this. Where is our knight in shiny coloured armour?

Psst. !!!... Paolo you can come back now and by the way?! Bring that man Ritchie with you? We have missed him.

Fucking fuck the cunting fuck off you fucking cunting wankspanner

I would have him back in a heartbeat. loads of fuck ups all over the shop? Infact to me he still is Mr Swindon!  To many people killing football.

Mr Swindon wouldn't potentially sue his namesake!

How long will it be before we're no longer DiCanio-FC? He fucked off months ago, and we still haven't escaped. Will it be 6 months? A Year?

You say it so much better than I ever could.  :)

You stupid fucking cunt

Hi Fred. Love you xxx (clique)

what does that make you?? Intelligent?
Prick!! And your football iq is ??

Fred's football IQ is off the scale, they call him the 'Soccer Newton'. This one time he was sitting under a tree and an apple fell on his head.

A fucking damn sight higher than yours obviously

Mind blowing!!

Love you too xxxx (clique)

Is a "football IQ" actually something or was that some random rubbish?

Fuck knows Ben

He probably thought it made him sound as if he knew what he was fucking on about.

I mean, stevieg ?

Really ??????

It's a slow and deadening process of desensitisation.

Reminds me of gratuitously edited charity appeals on TV.

Feel I've now become so overexposed to slow-motion footage of poverty-stricken children reaching towards a camera while Coldplay plays in the background on TV I just flick indifferently through the channels until they've gone away tutting disapproval that they should ever have had the audacity to intrude upon my life and the unbroken stream of entertainment my short attention span demands.

Don Rogers could break as a new name trying to sue the club tomorrow and I'd struggle to muster an exclamation of outrage or surprise anymore.

I read it initially as an elision of Steven and Vegetable and even now you've pointed that out this is the version of reality I think I prefer to stick with.

Take your 53 posts and shove em up your arse

I've only got 5 posts :(

But you are a Jedi

I read your census forms

fb, you know you can log in with an existing account?

It is an existing account.

Pretty sure this account exists?

Tis sorcery I tell thee.

Ha ha, that's how I read it initially as well.

It's the force

The Darkside

Maybe it's just me being a bit Class 5C then

Agree with this, the guy is a massive cunt.

For every off field issue we have, the chances of this happening diminishes. If we still had PDC, Ritchie and no embargo I would feel confident.

I guess Bodin has lost his club legend status then?

Are you just posting a stream of conciousness Cocopops?

It's E-Day

18 hours for it to be lifted.

So, in a day when we thought the embargo would be lifted and we would sign Andy Johnson, not only did we not get out of the embargo and sign Andy Johnson (really surprised) but now a Town legend has decided to might sue the club.

Circus FC

I'm beginning not to care, tbh.

Get behind the players, as they seem to be the only ones who still give a shit, quit moaning and get on with the business of getting promotion.

Fuck the lot of 'em!

This

Agree and would also add KMac, who has come into a difficult situation and done a great job so far.

Both of these are how I am currently feeling.

So, does anyone think it might actually happen today?

No, me neither.

I would also like to add my agreement to the last four comments (not Langers' although I do agree with that as well).

A few people seem to have equated not getting any loan signings in with missing out on promotion like it's an indisputable fact. The players we currently have, have got us into second in the table with 7 games to go, which is not a lot of games.

Yes, of course I would have preferred it if the unmentionable had been lifted and we had got a few in (maybe we still will but I won't hold my breath). Not getting anyone in does not mean it has to be a doomsday scenario though.

As has been said, absolute fair play to the players and KM. Hopefully they will use this bollocks as motivation and will create a siege mentality to get through those 7 games undefeated. Come the fuck on Town...us against the World!

My only concern is the strength in depth. Have we got enough players who are good enough if someone gets injured?

Absolutely. These players have shown plenty of times that they are more than capable of taking us up.

Even if we don't go up, I would still be feeling very confident for next season with KMAC in charge, espescially after he has a pre season with the team.

At least if it doesn't happen in the next 24 hours or so then people can have their initial tantrum and then we can all accept and get on with the rest of the season.

It's the hope of strengthening that has been frustrating. Andrew Johnson, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Danny Green, Marlon Pack and the Spurs academy have all been named. I don't think I'd be that bothered if I didn't know the calibre (at L1 level) of targets.

MacDonald has rallied the players well. Three really tough away games coming up after Oldham though... Good luck to all!

Clearly, that could be a problem, hence why it would have of course been preferable to get some signings in. So yes, we will need a little bit of luck in that respect. I think we could get away with the odd 'youth' thrown in here and there though. We do also have experience in reserve in the shape of De Vita, Devera and L Rooney. I also think you have a player, in Louis Thompson, who was given next to no chance by Di Canio, who can come in and do a more than adequate job so KM does have options. Two of the promotion campaigns that stand out in my mind are 89/90 under Ardiles and 09/10 under Wilson. In both seasons, the starting XI barely changed from week to week in the second half of the season so for me, you really don't want to be changing the team around right now any way. If changes are enforced, I think we just about have enough to squeak through, once again bearing in mind that it's now only seven games to go.

Has BWP actually scored for Brentford yet? I didn't notice if he has.

No, but he did lay on the goal that beat us!

Trouble is half of them might not be here if they don't go up this year.

Half of em probably won't be regardless of if we go up or not. The player turnover these days is mental. 3 years plus and suddenly you're the longest serving player.

I see Crawley have been put up for sale by their owners, difference is that they're aren't in an immediate rush and are willing to be reasonable. This is the way we should have done it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21946172

Agreed. And KMac of corse.

We'd been up for sale for nearly 18 months when the plug was finally threatend with being pulled, in fact we'd been almost sold once and were in due dillegence.  Try seeing if the owners of Crawley are happy to be funding their leaky bath in 2 years time - they've already turned some of the taps off, selling players after going several years spending like mad.

"The experienced frontman had been lined up to boost the Robins’ squad as they push for promotion to the Championship, but doubts had surfaced over the 32-year-old’s fitness."

Surfaced? Surfaced? He's barely played a game in five years!

I can hear the nearby mosque going nuts with their prayers today. They must definitely be praying to Allah to lift the umbungo.

I thought I saw him playing and scoring for Palace the other day?

Would be very surprised if Andy Johnson signed for you, or any League 1 club.

Probably not as he left Palace in 2006

He last played for QPR on the 15th of September. The previous season he scored 11 in 33 for Fulham..

Aah, I was thinking of Kevin Phillips.

So might Crawley have been up for sale for that long.  Difference is that Fatty left Crawley and it was clear that their "project promotion" was no longer being repeated in the same way this season whereas our previous board level dysfunction certainly did have a "Championship Plan", attempted sale or not and the sudden mid-season halt has cost us

Either don't renew PDCs contract and sell Matt Ritchie for £800k in the summer and rein in the ambitions then

or see through "Championship Plan", giving promotion our best shot in a weak year for Lge 1 and sell Matt Ritchie in the summer for (at least) £800k to a club that would have furthered his career (second firesale running for poor Matt)

Just to drag up something, people have been blaming Chris Wise during this thread. He's been on Holiday during the past week.

It annoyed me earlier seeing him blamed, but i couldn't type

It's morshead that's on holiday

Nope, Wise too I think. Hodgetts did Commentary on saturday

I stand corrected

Craig Lyus ‏@AdverSportCraig 1m
Club statement pending..

Andy Warren ‏@AndyWarren_ 3m
Been told a statement is being made through the club website in the next 10 minutes or so. #stfc

Ominous...

OOOOO Fun

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/embargoupdate-737567.aspx

Embargo gone, just waiting for confirmation from the football league.

Who wants to bet that won't come tomorrow?

FFS what do you want? Statement written in blood. It's sorted accept it and look forward to a great end of season.

I tentatively await posts implying that the board are lying and that FL approval will mysteriously never be forthcoming.

Let's hope the FL Board meeting is fairly early tomorrow morning, shall we?

Wasn't entirely serious...

Just need to get some players in and get automatic promotion, don't think I could handle the play-offs again.

We loan when we want :pint:

Yipppeyippppeeeeee.

Only the FL can stop us now...oh.

What's the problem, they have always treated us fairly in the past haven't they...........Oh.

I've said I won't go to Wembley again, but even now, with pain of losing and that god awful stadium a distant memory, I'm sure I'll end up there again if we're in the play-off final. :(

Couldn't possibly comment as I'm not part of the in crowd cabal. Just be wary of the lynch mob outside your house with burning torches and pitch forks you heretic.

oh shut the fuck up

Pretty sure I wont go to wembley if we get there. I really don't like the place, too big, shit atmosphere with a shit view. Rubbish pubs. Yeah I wont go

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

I think i'm the same, I really wouldn't want to be there, the place is horrible but I know I would end up there all the same.

Win there and I'm sure it's a 'great day out'.

Of course I'd go again.

Totally agree. Pretty sure the last two performances and results are understandably putting people off "Wembley". It's not like the old one that's for sure but it's not that bad either. If we end up there it will inevitably be the pinnacle of the season like it or not. For that reason alone you have to go!

Unless its your wife's 40 th the same day :(

Yeah, don't you just hate it that people are so cynical? I can't think why they would be like that...oh wait a minute....

I'm thinking a match ticket and a pint after a half hour queue in The Green Man would not be her ideal present?

Pssst, Don't tell SY, he's one of the shout you down brigade if he or his ilk do not agree with you or you disagree with him/them.

My real bone of contention is the cost of the day out. £170 for the JPT final all in, for two adults and a child, really? Even if we had won I would have questioned it's value.

 I will be at my fourth away game at Sheffield Utd this season if anyone wants to question my commitment to STFC after the amount of money I have spent over the last 40 years then they can fuck themselves. I will be there long after many stop going.

 Yeah maybe I'm lucky in as much as my job allows me to take advantage of the travelling that I do and my ability to arrange my diary to be able to be coincidently in Yeovil on the day of our game. I could have organised my day to be back at home that day and still have done my calls in and around Yeovil and watch the game at home like the Carling armchair viewers at most pubs. But no I fucking made the effort to be there. I will continue to be a prick and remind those who have pilloried me for my stance against the FA/FL not STFC. If the twats had not spent over£700m ..... Yes £700m on that soulless stadium then we the paying punters would not be fleeced to pay homage to our clubs for the privilege.

As I have said before, if you look at the amount of ppl who are online who don't post you get or at least I do the feeling that they do not because of the abuse that is thrown at other posters and do not wish to have that directed at them. I can't blame them really. If we want a diverse forum with a myriad of opinions we need to let others express their views un hindered.

I accept I go on sometimes but I'm not malicious and I only repeat to annoy those who have fucked me off. Ignore me or don't fuck me off, simples.

oh shut the fuck up

Looks like someones got a case of 'I've got an extreme view and get annoyed when others think differently'-Itis.

I thought fatbasher was joking until that last post. What rattled his cage? This site is nowhere near as cliquey as it used to be.

Me too, I actually have little idea what he's on about or why.

Its quite a few words just to say Wembley is shit and I'm not going if we get there.

It's because we think he should go to Wembley I think. Not that we're playing there anyway.

Clique? I was accepted once I posted proof of my love of beastiality  :sheep:

  Too many :pint: I think

FWIW fatbasher, if you don't want to go the Wembley, that's fine by me. Not that you should give a shit what I think.

I don't like Wembley one little bit and any magic or appeal it may have had, disappeared a long time ago as far I'm concerned.

I didn't go to the JPT Final and was extremely glad that I didn't. Hopefully we will finish in the top two so I don't even have to think about going back there in a few weeks.

It's my clique and none of you cunts can join.

If it comes down to one game to decide if we are promoted or not, it doesn't matter where it is or how much it costs (within reason). I just can't imagine not going to the game.

So if it means going to Wembley, Scunthorpe or the local park pitch I want to be there.

I probably won't be there but if I can make it then I probably will be.

Words of a proper fan. Not like that armchair supporting, sing when we're winning, happy clapping, fat bashing twat

I'd go. I'd be dreading every fucking minute of it but you just have to be there if we win. It's shit, shit, shit if you go there and lose but if there's even a 1% chance of winning I can't not go.

I think the biggest reason I'd have for going to Wembley is to see us win something there.

The worst thing about us reaching Wembley will be that this forum will be full of people moaning about the daytrippers ruining the atmosphere and that they should all die. And I'd be a daytripper.

It's shite with thousands of day trippers. Would be even worse if they didn't go.

The club should only sell tickets to fans who have attended at least 15 home and 5 away league fixtures as well as both home and away play-off semi finals.

The last day of the season pitches 4 of the teams currently in the top 6 playing each other.

It's going to be a down-to-the-wire ending.

Don't get me wrong, I would 500% be there. I just can't see it being enjoyable.

This is all being fuelled by our last two visits there, I'm sure if you win at wembley it's amazing. Most of you will have experience of that when we got to the Prem but it has never happened in my lifetime.

Same (although I was 3 for the playoff final, my memory is hazy to be honest). Charlton away in the second leg semi final a few years back was an incredible experience (we won a bloody penalty shoot out!) and Wembley would top that.

I'd much, much rather go up auto though please!

They should only sell tickets to people with over 5000 posts on here.

I can't help but find it quite disturbing how his back seems to form into one giant all-consuming crack as if he is just a head perched upon a colossal pair of buttocks.

Remember Millwall away (well kind of) a few years back for the last day and previously we had something like 6 games left at the time but we all knew it would go down to the wire then and I think it's pretty much the same now. I had a massive buzz on the morning of the game and setting off at something ridiculous like 8.30am to go on the piss...fell up the stairs and just about saw our 1st goal, dreamland! I look forward to Scunthorpe...!

Third time lucky and all that, maybe we'll even score this time..

Going to Wembley is like going to a funeral.

You'd rather there was no need for it. You don't want to go but feel you should.

The Play Off final against Millwall was one of the worst days of my life. I went back for the JPT final mostly because I didnt care about the result - hoping I might enjoy the day more. It was a fucking terrible day...

I calculate our chances at 0.99%. What do you do?

Those stairs at the New Den are bloody steep after a few pints. The perspex sides on the stand run perpendicular to the seats which is a bit of a mind fuck too when you've had a few.

That's bad enough. For me it's the thieving FA. why do you think both FA cup semi finals are played at Wembley? They have cheapened that competition starting with allowing Man U to dip out for the world club cup or what ever to smooze up to FIFA to get the WC, which backfired on them not once but twice. I am surprised the FL do not have both semi's of the league cup at Wembley too.

I'll be back next season with my ST's in the DRS. I wonder where the other 22k will be on the day of our first home fixture?

I hope we don't need the play off's. Three points tomorrow and avoid a defeat on Monday will do nicely.

I'd guess about:

33% will be at the County Ground
33% will not be because they pick and choose their games for various reasons
33% will not be because they never are (i.e. don't support town and were dragged along by mates or live abroad)

HTH

I personally dislike the idea of having the semi finals atWembley, devalues the occasion of the final.

Should be at neutral ground of similar distance from each team.

I agree with you both on this one but I guess you can't blame them for wanting to use their new stadium more often given the massive overspend.

Not to mention the low railing at the front of the stand...

This is it, its like an obligation you would feel you to have meet.

I told myself at the JPT i'd never go back after being surrounded by daytrippers calling players by their numbers as they didn't know their names.

It's bollocks though i'll be there like a shot, only difference is i wont be excited about it.
