  1. Bit annoyed we’ve still heard nothing regarding refunds. Imagine they’ll have to cover the tickets but they should do travel too (and parking). Not a cheap journey especially for those who got the train. And parking is the most extortionate I’ve ever seen at a football ground (besides Wembley).
  2. I’m getting a bit annoyed now with reading fans tbh. What do they expect? Keep seeing them complaining about asset stripping where they’re selling their best players. Well firstly, they shouldn’t have had them in the first place as they clearly couldn’t afford them to begin with. And secondly, they’re in a financial black hole, of course they need to sell their players to try and get some money in. It’s a bit different to us under smurthwaite when we flogged our players and rather than the money going into the club to keep it afloat, he pocketed it. Just like with the hugill money.
  3. I assume they own their own ground at least. Otherwise how on earth did he get an offer so high
  4. Sod that I’m not too proud to take the 3 points if it keeps us up.
  5. The summer, so even after they came down and knew they were on their arse they were still shelling out money they didn’t have.
  6. Owners been pumping 20 mill a season in to keep them afloat Christ! See this is my point. If you’re in that much trouble, why are you paying so much out in wages? Sam smith was being chased by most clubs in the division so I imagine he’s on a pretty sizeable wage.
  7. And we have to be given the win as far as I’m concerned. Vale should refuse a replay. Why should we go back down to them again? We showed up to try and fulfil the fixture and they are the ones who stopped it. If we play midweek for example, we’ll take way less fans, and then be more tired for the next Saturday game. So we would be getting put at a disadvantage through no fault of our own.
  8. The policing was ridiculous as well. How many vale games have we seen an army of police show up for a game that would never have any trouble like Cheltenham or someone. Then here as jacko said, they’ve been saying all week what would happen. So why were there only 4 of them?!
  9. Must say I do have slightly less sympathy for them as they’ve got here simply due to overspending. It’s not like us with smurthwaite where he was refusing to fund even the basic level of the club. Instead they’ve spent millions upon millions of pounds that they don’t have. As I saw someone else say - the likes of Sam Smith, Andy Carroll et al won’t have come cheap. Appreciate it’s not the fan’s fault though so do feel a bit sorry for them.
  10. I was at the back of the stand and it was clear Crosby said it’s done. But out of interest way anyone near the front that heard what he actually said?
  11. Not sure if available on the day or not, might be worth ringing up reading’s ticket office in the morning to see what they say. Parking has been a right ballache. It’s not near any street parking, saw a few reviews online where people said they had a mare finding somewhere and ended up paying a tenner. So I decided to pay in advance for one of readings car parks for 8 quid, which made me create an account and everything. Nightmare, and absolute rip off.
  12. Hopefully if it gets abandoned we’ve taken the lead and they give us the 3 points so we don’t have to hold onto a lead for once
  13. They also made this song a few years back:
  14. Yes I will get behind them. I went Wycombe, Carlisle, and already have my Reading ticket. Only time I’ve booed this season was end of first half against Barnsley at home. I support the team during the game but I’m really sick of feeling like the club are taking people like us for mugs.
  15. I recognise that, but it’s the overall trajectory that is the issue. If the 8 in 24 were more mixed together, I’d be happy. The problem is we are on a pretty terrible run and performances are still poor. Who can really see us getting any better?
  16. It’s not delusions of grandeur though. I’m not expecting us to win the league. I’m expecting mid table, with us getting the best of the players at our disposal, and hopefully playing somewhat entertaining football. Currently yes we are mid table. Be are on a run of 3 wins in 14 games or something like that. Recent performances bar 2 have been diabolical. There’s no evidence that the manager can progress with this group. He’s not getting the best out of the players. And it’s so <ovf censored> boring to watch. Im sick of travelling to Carlisle, Wycombe and now probably Reading to put in meek, pathetic, and frankly <ovf censored> performances every week.
  17. Different seasons so again not comparable.
  18. That’s not at all a comparable situation and you know it. Birmingham were in the playoffs. We are 6 points off the drop.
  19. The reason I want Crosby out isn’t just because of losses. It’s because he continually shows he is tactically inept. We’ve thrown away so many points purely down to his poor in game management decisions. If we were losing but I could see we were on the right track I’d be more understanding. But he’s shown he’s not learning, and nothing I’ve seen so far makes me think he will ever make a capable manager.
  20. People definitely weren’t happy today. Some shouted abuse near the front, but most just walked out and didn’t clap him off. Feel like a lot have turned on him.
  21. With respect, that’s rubbish. We appointed Lee Sinnot and Jim Gannon taking the cheap option as per. The only two decent managers we’ve had in the last 10 years have been the only 2 proven league managers we’ve had. It’s no coincidence. If we sacked Crosby and appointed a Lee Sinnott then we may as well pack it in now. No - the club stated that this is what happened. It’s common knowledge.
  22. No I don’t. He managed 5 games. International football is different as Michael O’Neill proved down the road. And it’s youth international football.
  23. Thanks - so I didn’t say it’s a guarantee. That’s all my opinion. I believe we would win more with someone new in. And by proper manager I mean someone who has a clue tactically. Maybe we could actually run a proper recruitment process this time to find one?
  24. Where have I said it’s a guarantee? I said it’s my opinion that a proper manager would get us more points than Crosby. Which it is.
