Fox92 Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Has now surpassed John Toshack in the Bluebirds' all-time scoring list and is now Cardiff's seventh-best in that department. Respect. I know yeah, unbelievable, though he has been there for most of his career. That said, always scored goals from midfield.
Corky Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Fans aren't really that bothered by Championship games. For all the talk of it being a competitive and exciting league, most crowds are well down on what they would be in the Premier League. It's only really Norwich who've managed to maintain a pretty full ground in that league over the last 8 years or so, although Derby get high crowds regularly at the moment.

It's only really Norwich who've managed to maintain a pretty full ground in that league over the last 8 years or so, although Derby get high crowds regularly at the moment. Derby always get 30k, it's not just at the moment, so that's about 90% full. Brentford, QPR and Rotherham usually are at 90% every week too. Some grounds are too big though - Elland Road and Hillsborough are both near 40k capacity. Like I said weeks ago, it depends on which club you're comparing. You cannot compare a City like Norwich or Derby to a town like Huddersfield. The Galpharn holds nearly 25000 an no disrespect to Huddersfield but they are not going to fill that every week, and I'm guessing most people in West Yorkshire follow Leeds anyway. As for Wolves... We all know they are well supported. I saw that picture above (not sure what time it was taken) with little Wolves fans but they'll take more than that.
Soar Fox Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 This is superb from Wolves lol https://twitter.com/OfficialWolves/status/701053214234431488 To be fair look on the pitch and it looks like the early stages of a pre match warm up.
MC Prussian Posted 23 February 2016 Posted 23 February 2016 Good news for Bolton fans: The club is now rumoured to be taken over by the Sports Shield consortium, led by former striker Dean Holdsworth, for £7.5m: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35630605
Corky Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 You thought it was bad enough for our game, Sky have changed a game with 17 days notice: http://www.mfc.co.uk//news/article/2016/middlesbrough-boro-sky-sports-charlton-2971412.aspx
Fox92 Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 You thought it was bad enough for our game, Sky have changed a game with 17 days notice: http://www.mfc.co.uk//news/article/2016/middlesbrough-boro-sky-sports-charlton-2971412.aspx Good stuff from the club though. As a gesture to fans who have already booked train travel for the original date, the club will contribute to the cost of exchanging rail tickets to attend on the Sunday up to a maximum value of £50.
Soar Fox Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 Yet again though it's the club helping out the fans when it's sky who are causing the problem. A few Middlesbrough fans on Twitter were saying that train tickets for the Sunday were £126, so will they have to buy new tickets and the club contribute £50 towards them?

A few Middlesbrough fans on Twitter were saying that train tickets for the Sunday were £126, so will they have to buy new tickets and the club contribute £50 towards them? It's looking that way. As I said in the other thread though it's a bit more complicated getting from Middlesbrough to London than it is getting from Leicester, which is of course on the mainline where as Middlesbrough isn't. I'm guessing most of those fans will be changing and therefore will have tickets with two different train companies.# Absolutely disgraceful from Sky yet again though.
ScouseFox Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 Yet again though it's the club helping out the fans when it's sky who are causing the problem. A few Middlesbrough fans on Twitter were saying that train tickets for the Sunday were £126, so will they have to buy new tickets and the club contribute £50 towards them? aren't they just paying the exchange of a ticket? exchanging a ticket won't cost £126 . exchanging costs £10 and then making up the difference from the original saturday ticket, which surely won't be more than £40? so they've paid like £100 or something for their original train tickets, now they've got to change them for a tenner and then pay an extra £26. all covered by the club. unless they've all got some absolute bargain deals on the saturday trains .
Soar Fox Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 Bloody hell so travel alone will have totalled around £200 for them. Also just reading that they have got to email the club the confirmation of the change of trains and not ring them. Hardly making it easy for them are they. I can understand sky wanting to move our game against Arsenal 1st versus 3rd in the league, but to move Charlton v Middlesbrough onto a Sunday I can hardly seeing it being in high demand for people wanting to watch it.
RowlattsFox Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 I've not checked the dates but have Sky lost a game due to FA cup next round. Shows that the club can probably afford to reimburse fans yet still probably make money from being on tv.
Wymsey Posted 24 February 2016 Posted 24 February 2016 Lambert should manage in League One, where he's comfortable. Has failed in PL and, so far, struggling to change Blackburn's fortunes around.

Dan Posted 25 February 2016 Posted 25 February 2016 Lambert should manage in League One, where he's comfortable. Has failed in PL and, so far, struggling to change Blackburn's fortunes around. How did Norwich end up in the Premier League? Give him a bit of time. They're a painfully ordinary squad that just lost their top scorer with no replacement. As for Middlesbrough - no surprise yet again the contempt shown for the match going fan. It's an absolute joke that nothing is done to stop things like that. It's not even the money half the time either - why do they think people are spending that money in the first place? Sky should have reimbursed every penny of our fans at Arsenal and every penny of this, but they won't because they've convinced most people that they created football.
Jimothy Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Lambert should manage in League One, where he's comfortable. Has failed in PL and, so far, struggling to change Blackburn's fortunes around. This would be the Paul Lambert who kept Norwich up in the PL before leaving to manage Villa?
Fox92 Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Don't like that Forestieri and he's just been sent off again for diving.
SemperEadem Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Don't like that Forestieri and he's just been sent off again for diving. Got a right ping on him. His second yellow was a farce.
Fox92 Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Got a right ping on him. His second yellow was a farce. Oh yeah he has, he hit the bar first half with a great shot.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Foristieri is a cracking little player but a terrible little ****. Always seems to be getting booked for cheating.
filbertway Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Love how Dawson was apologising for the foul and the ref just brushes past him and books Foristieri for diving. What a chump.
Super_horns Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Seems like he was unlucky but then he does have that reputation which sticks..
J.Lisemore Posted 26 February 2016 Posted 26 February 2016 Deserved it. This makes up for his cheating in other games.
