Shame on you for not recognising their triumph on penalties in the final of The Watney Mann Invitation Cup .... a pre-season tournament that included only eight teams (the highest scorers in the four divisions) and lasted a whopping four seasons before axed in 1973 .... I remember a great quote from the huge sag centre half at the time, Stuart Taylor: “Yeh, those were the days when we’d score 80 goals in a season, but let in 120 at our end..” I was referring to the Camp Site, even based against 1970 stadia it is still shite...Camp Shite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But City were on red button, so that may be the reason why so few fewers actually went. They stayed in to watch some proper football.

Guest Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I expect a few more Liverpool fans get on the radio than Tranmere (not comparing us to Liverpool BTW).... I also expect if we didn't play on a Saturday then there would probably be more Sags on the radio than Yeovil (just about). What's the issue, it's the way of the World I'm afraid.

bert tann Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I believe you will find Mr Roady is deliberately winding up our friends on the Rovers forum as a way of settling scores with some elderly gentlemen who have realised the money is about to run out and made the mistake of posting about it. Naturally, being a highly valued personal friend of the Al-Qadi family, he wishes to dispel such rumours until the Mem sale has been safely concluded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do they get there info from is a mystery to me Is there a lack of capacity, a lack of demand or both? And won't the ending of free movement make the former worse? Which in turn makes it harder to find the skilled people to build a stadium, or any major project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are banking on Marvin the *** underwriting the cost of the whole shebang. Something is definitely "off" about that gentleman . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
