No wonder you voted for caramel wafer.

 

Does everyone in Sileby have such bad taste? lol

 

 

Sileby is full of bad taste I'm afraid 😅

 

Wafer over teacake everyday of the week and twice on Sundays I'm afraid.

 

Genuine question: why do people like Gin? I'd put the taste somewhere between the smell of petrol and bleach.

FA Cup replays are pointless in this day and age. Also it doesnt give smaller teams a chance, it gives bigger teams a chance to fix the mistakes from the first match.

 

Cray Valley Paper Mills probably would have fancies themselves to beat Charlton on penalties if a winner was decided on the day.

I think if reversed, financially it’s massive for the smaller club when going to the bigger club.

Difficult to say.  Cray Valley had their biggest gate in history and made at least 75k, a huge sum for a club like that.  

 

If it had been a one shot chance I suspect Charlton have a much stronger bench which they utilise earlier in the first game and, as the replay proved, that was enough to blow Cray Valley away in a matter of minutes.

Aha, there’s your problem right there, stop snorting it. Everything that exists hasn’t been invented to go up your nose.

Shouldn’t be playing pointless games to increase finances at a minuscule level for non league clubs, when there is so much money in the game. Just give them the money. I heard the cray valley manager saying they’ve made something like £50k from this whole run. Tiny sums, not even peanuts, it’s what an average PL player earns in a few days

No other competition can provide us with Charlton going to Cray Valley, Spurs going to Marine or Leeds going to Histon. It's not just about the result in this case.

 

I just can't agree they are pointless and if scrapped the closest we get to these fixtures are pointless friendlies.

I love the Wrexham story - I'm all in.

 

I really don't get the hate (especially from Leicester fans) and can only assume people haven't educated themselves about what's really happening at that club by watching both seasons of the documentary.

 

The owners have clearly fallen in love with the club, the employee's, the players, their families, the fans, and the town and the community - it's heartwarming.

 

And all this 'Hollywood FC' stuff is bollocks. The owners are actors FFS so obviously like the limelight but they're not in it to make serious money (they're already about £25m down with building the new stand etc.)

 

I can only put peoples hate on them down to jealousy, which is a bit sad.

 

 

100%

 

It's a great story.

 

The owners are very likeable.

 

And you don't get out of the National League by pure luck.

 

OK, they've spent money, they've probably raised more, allowing them to spend more, but they've already proven themselves to be better owners than that of Everton.

 

Good luck to them.

 

A town like that, and the people who live there, deserve it.

I'll be honest I absolutely hate them.

Can I ask why?

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I do kind of get it.

 

But they aren't in competition with us, they showed some real class in saying that there should be more promotion places from the National League and showed solidarity with Notts County to get back in to the football league.

I'd add that football goes in cycles.

 

The public got behind Luton when they went non league and won the Johnstones Pain Trophy.

 

A lot of people loved Salford City when the class of 92 took over. 

 

Literally everyone in the world had a second team when we won the league in 2016.

 

A lot of people took interest in Wrexham when Deadpool bought them.

 

It all eventually dies down.

 

Let them enjoy the moment. No skin off my nose.

 

If no rules are broken, go nuts.

 

Its all better than asking someone you've just met who they support and they reply "Liverpool"

I just find them very irritating. Reynolds especially. Mostly because they're insufferably north American, which is my own prejudice obviously. But also the whole rags to riches, 'blue collar' stuff feels incredibly forced. 

 

They're a big, pretty rich club for that level. Good for them, but I don't understand why they get so touchy when people say they don't care for them.

Fair enough. But again, in the grand scheme of football, me and you might as well own them. 

 

Billionaires they ain't. And that's what you need.

Wrexham will float around League 1 and League 2. 

 

That's their level, without wanting to sound condescending. 

 

They'll soon be another Northampton Town. That's it.

 

Let them enjoy their moment.

 

It'll take way more than Ryan Reynolds to achieve more than that.
