Anyone else hear him yesterday on Talksport doing the drive time show and talking about how poor it is that Wembley has got to host a match between Chesterfield and Swindon.
Now I always listen to talksport because I enjoy the debates about different topics plus the fact is that the music on any of the radio stations is garbage, why is it everytime a small team does anything any good Adrian Durham has to pour cold water over it, come out with a put down.
All we want is a little bit of glory and recognition from time to time, our club works just as hard as any premier league club does to try and be successful and people like that have to stamp all over it by saying that it should'nt happen.

Everything he says is to get a reaction. It's no coincidence that station is nicknamed talkSHITE.

Although, in a roundabout way I kind of agree. I mean if we're about taking maybe 25k, how much better would it look taking up half of Villa Park or the like instead of under 1/3 of Wembley?

Quite simply is his job to provoke a reaction. It would be a boring show if everyone agreed all the time.

Or maybe he is just a nob

He's on the wind up for sure.

And while somewhere like Villa Park would hold the numbers we take in a better light, you just can't beat playing at our national stadium - no matter how shit the new one is. At the start of each tournament, the dream for little clubs like ourselves   is to play at Wembley and, to me at least, dreaming of playing at somewhere like Villa Park just isn't the same.

Talksport is the Daily Sport of Radio, it even come with more than it's fair share of tits.

Sensationalist nonsense that is best ignored.

Yep his sole argument was that the players shouldn't be playing at Wembley as there were better players in higher leagues who'd never get the chance to play at Wembley. What he failed to mention was that it's more about the supporters and our chance to see our teams play there.

He was being his usual dickhead self. We weren't brilliantly represented by the Swindon fan tbh, although the Pox fan came across better and sided with us....!

Talksport is a joke. How anyone can take any of their presenters seriously is beyond me. Their peak-time line-up is quite incredible. Brazil, Irani, Durham, Gough, that Moose gimp... laughable!

See we don't even need to change the tune.

I get what's been said about playing at Wembley. My first cup final irrespective of it's stature is quite exciting.

If you took the JPT Final away from Wembley I think it would kill the competition, although there is money to be made from reaching the final its the dream of all players, Fans & Boards to go to Wembley. Would it have been as exciting on Tuesday being 90 minutes away from Villa Park? we could take 30k to Wembley but I doubt we would take many more than 15k-20k for many other venues other than maybe Old Trafford
