    Wimbledon 2017

    Thread to talk about this year's Championships. With a polite request that people who do not like the sport **** off out of here and don't waste everyone's time by posting on here saying how they hate tennis/Andy Murray/grass/life/Robinson's fruit barley.

  3. Old Shrimper

    Hi all, Thought I would join to hear news and opinions of other supporters. I like some of the historic comments and pictures of times past. I first starting watching the Blues in 1951 when the club played at Grainger Road stadium, travelling there on a saddle on my Dad's crossbar and then...

    Long story, power cuts and a water dowser.

    If I had posted this when it started, it may have had the legs to match MK's fridge post. So i'll keep it short but you may get bored. Earlier this year, probably February time, I saw some damp patches on the left side outside wall of my house. Thought they would dry up but they didn't. We...

    Why complain

    I dont understand some of our fans, it seems that unless we are hammering teams 5-0 every week, they sit and wallow in depression and moan about everything from Ron Martin to the length of the grass at Roots Hall. Last night, we showed that we can accept defeat gracefully. We werent ready to...

    Your promotion stories...

    Just wondered if anyone had any stories that go with our promotions... What you did before, after etc. After the disapointment of the Grimsby game, which I went to and had the worst constapation (sp). I went to both of the Northampton games and then...the final... For the play-off...

    Semi-match report

    I thought I may as well put my thoughts on the game up as I've barely been on since the game. As I mentioned before this match, the form of the home team compared with that of the away team and the relative league standings pointed only one way: Away win. Sure enough, the form book wasn't...

  11. Fundamentals @ Fossetts

    Have not seen any threads on what may be of some importance at new stadium. The surface at RH has always been an excellent one on which to play good football, quick draining and flat. Will the new pitch be as good ? Often it is the sunlight & even covering of natural water coverage which...

    Cheltenham Thoughts

    Although it was encouraging to see Alan Wright play for them, thereby making our centre-backs and goalkeeper look enormous, it couldn't hide the fact that our defensive frailties again cost us two points tonight. Cheltenham were inept going forward and the only time we ever looked in trouble was...

    Rate That Driver

    An interesting little website where you can anonymously grass up cretins of the road (or alternatively if you're being nice comment on good driving).

    this should be our official song, background music from DJ Bummer - wouldn't it be be good it reflects everything about our club, we were all over the papers when we beat man united and then we stuck by our club when we were relegated, so this summs up everything we have been through over the...

    Darryl - welcome back - the grass was never greener for me - just a few fools on here fooled by the tape the other fellow puts around his ankles - check my posts Darryl - not a wobble from me. And Tilly ....well this a bit of a mess - out of two cups already - and we were comfortable enough up...

  18. We have the players!!

    We have the players here to challenge in this league, its the managements decisions that leave me scratching my head. Tilly has too many favorites in the squad, Maher is a good player, but he should have started with the team that beat watford 2-0 a good team performance and they deserved...

    Thoughts on last night

    Just a few of my thoughts on last night as it was the first time I have seen the players this year. Collis - Only made one save, no chance with either goal, good distribution. Hunt / Wilson - Both had good games, defending well, and using the ball intelligently. Hunt linked up well with JCR...
