Someone once told me that Town were in the first ever match to be shown live on terrestrial TV in the '30's and that game on BSB was the first ever game on non-terrestrial tv. Anyone know if that is true?? Great fact if it is. The cup final we lost to Preston was the first televised one, I think. wasn't that when the German zeppelin flew over?

The saddest thing is no one cares about cups anymore. Most clubs attendances were higher than average and there was always big away followings. Even the league cup was an event, I remember a 0 0 at Stoke early 80s Town took loads midweek. A pox on the twats that have deliberately undermined and ruined cup football. I was at the Stoke midweek in the 80s. Went by train and had some aggro from Stoke Neanderthals - we were much the better side but couldn’t score and lost the replay.

Lillis missed a sitter in front of us. Par for the course losing at home after a good away performance. There was a fair bit of bother. Town weren't the clapper clapping, 'three cheers for the opposing fans', type back then either to be fair.

Flo Hadawotsit is the latest to confirm he’s off, same as Jorgensen. When do you ever hear contracted players talking like this? It doesn’t make sense.
There is obviously something in these player’s contracts allowing them to leave following relegation that we are not aware of.I get why we would do this with wages etc but why are Hoyle and co surprised when they don’t give a fuck once we are down. An obvious downside to these kind of contracts, they only came for the money and will obviously leave for the same reason.

I was at the Altrincham game - my dad’s mate played for them. They were both coppers and he played semi-pro on the side, he was at Barnet before that so we went all over on Saturdays watching lower league football with free hospitality. Went full time pro for Bradford a couple of years later and I gave up watching him as it felt like a betrayal of Town. We won 2-1 I think.

I remember an F A Cup replay against Stoke around 1970 at home midweek under lights. Think that was 0-0 and 35-40,000 turned up. Leeds Rd was rocking in that era. You do know you can see the Examiner report on that match on here don’t you?

Good riddance I would like to meet the person who put Flo's forward to the club ,and ask that person what did he see to make him think that Flo could make it at the highest level of English football This same question also applies to many other members of the squad

There was something on Facebook this morning supposedly about Flo announcing his departure, but turned out to be him declaring that he’d be playing international football for Kosovo rather than Switzerland.

I'll miss him rolling around on the floor
I'm enjoying this relegation so far. I thought we might be stuck with shithouses like him but they all seem to be doing a runner

A few may yet well stay,, Once they realise that the wages on offer at other clubs is still not as much as his relegation reduced Town contract.
If I was Hoyle I think I would have all those that want away cleaning the river bank until they go or their contract runs out. fuck em, deluded spoilt babies.

I try to like all the lads who play for us and I always try to give players a fair crack (hi Uncle!). But my patience ran out with Flo a long time ago. Never took a risk, pulled out of some tackles, always a back or sideways pass, never tried to get in behind, sometimes lazy, blamed others, fuck all help to his nearest centre half. But my biggest problem with him was the diving, rolling, feigning injury and yelping shit that ruins today's game. Apart from that, I liked him!

I saw a rat in that river bank before the Man U match. Please feel free to insert your own names in response...

"For me, it was clear that I would play for Switzerland, I grew up there and they gave me the best chance to be a professional football player."

Flo is utter shite. Whether he wants to go or not doesn;t matter, just go. An attacking full back who hasn;t got the pace to get past anyone, hasn;t got a trick to get past anyone, can't cross it anyway and is a total powderpuff defensively.
To think before promotion wed never spent more than £1.8m on a player and then were supposed to have wasted about £5m on him. Jesus wept weve pissed some money up against a wall since promotion!!

It was a huge result, so was the draw at Sunderland and the home draw with Shearer’s Blackburn. Sunderland at home was decent too. Think we beat them 4-0. Not sure that was the same year but we had a few decent cup games back then. We played them two consecutive years in the League Cup the first one was 6-1 on aggregate and the second was 2-2 aet but we won on away goals, think Peter Davenport scored in the last minute to take it to extra time for Sunderland.

Just to make him feel at home I'd drive him down a cul-de-sac and into the house at the end, make sure we aren't wearing seatbelts so we can fly through the window, land on the lawn and roll around on the floor.

I could tell you a story (about Chris Brandon) that I can't prove, that would probably get this site closed down, and me jailed. In other words, I agree with you 100%. (Nothing to do with football.)
