Someone with billions of pounds to spare (and no real knowledge of how soccerball clubs have been working for over a hundred years), might just be looking at the Sheffield clubs and thinking…hmm just think if we could buy both of them and merge them.

I think that is brilliant…dimly recalled…but on hearing it again…ideal

I knew Jeff Stelling was going to mention us beating Hartlepool(s) at some point.

I suppose there are those who “have never missed a game” who want to keep that ‘record’ going (a bit like people who obsessively collect things). The difference now is that where once they would have been respected when speaking of their achievement to other people, now it will be looked upon as something of a failing in club loyalty.

Clear to me it was men against boys in the aerial battles and the number of times they were strong-armed to one side. Clearly the young lads are lacking in physicality. They tried their best and we can’t ask for any more. Good luck to Grimsby.

Only just started watching this (so Rob may ask this) - WHO is working hard in the background?

Anybody think Chansiri put it on the shirt in the hope of us buying it?

He never celebrated when he scored FOR us.

Need a list of players willing to accept £7,000 a week

Photo of shirt one day…photo of shorts another… Most undramatic reveal of a new kit ever…anybody would think there was no money to launch it. Oh…

Well at least he won’t come back to haunt us…unless we qualify for the Champions League in 26/27

I think he was quite happy here until he found out that there would be no investment from Chansiri in the long term. What was he supposed to do? He realised he couldn’t take the club any further. He has ambition but he knows with financial support he can do a job here. Let him get on with it.

We all seemed to get behind Ron ‘Judas’ Atkinson pretty quickly, didn’t we?

Chansiri turns up at the back door with a long-wheel-based transit van

He’s making sure he’s got a squad for the first match

Seems that Chansiri is playing the long game too

Looking likely to be Steve Bracknell…if we can get him to leave Th’Oak

The question should be - which manager would be desperate to work for Chansiri?

I live in Cornwall and have been following Penzance AFC for ten years or so. We haven’t been very good since I followed them but I do like shouting at the ref (and him hearing me). Anyway, this season we actually won a cup, beating three Devon teams on the way. COYM - yes we play in black and white and are known as the Magpies!

“Has anyone scanned and archived them all yet?” Every edition of AVFTEB and Spitting Feathers was sent to the British Library at Boston Spa

A new edition of SPITTING FEATHERS was produced for EVERY home game in the seasons 94-95 and 95-96, then it reverted back to a monthly fanzine. We used to hand 10 copies over to reception for the players to read. Apparently they used to love it until David Pleat took exception to something and banned it from the dressing room. When Pete McKee did a cartoon of Jim Magilton dressed as a woman after forgetting his passport at customs (he brought his wife’s by mistake), Magilton wanted all the copies available. A few years later, in the Daily Mirror, he blamed Spitting Feathers for hounding him out of the club. I checked back through all copies around his time there and found only one tiny criticism.

SELL YOUR HOUSE! would be my choice now. SPITTING FEATHERS and WEDNESDAY -HALF-DAY CLOSING (only one issue) were my choices back then

I never watch them live unless they are playing us…neither do I watch the highlights on Sky. I have never watched any of their Play-Off finals so that’s worked well…won’t be watching this one either. I was cajoled into watching them play Chelsea (at my university mate’s pleading) back in the nineties and when I got home my young, well-hard and healthy cat collapsed with an enlarged heart and had to be put down. I was distraught and vowed never to watch them again (unless they are playing us).
