Each to their own I guess, but I’m happy that there’s room enough for 3pm on Saturdays and 2pm on Sundays. Many (most?) of the 92 seem to agree, and personally I think it’s great that after so long we now have another ladies side at the U’s. I’m not sure I get the MK Dons comparison though? As far as I’m aware the return of CUFC Ladies hasn’t put another ladies side out of existence - which is literally what happened to non-league side MK City in 2003 when the franchise arrived in town.
Champions of Essex County League 2 in their inaugural season, and still to play Southminster United in the League Cup final for an equally impressive double. To say they dominated the league is an understatement - won all 18 games (the other two were awarded as wins because their opponents couldn’t field teams), conceded just nine goals and scored a whopping 129!
It’s a shame the season is over, would have been nice for them to have paraded the trophy at a full JobServe. Maybe first game next season instead?
Got to be Crawley all the way this evening. As for the final, keeping Crawley in League 2 will obviously be better for the travelling support, but from this side of the country there's not a lot in it to be honest. Our record (and performances) at Crewe haven't been particularly glittering in recent years though.
There is of course the ‘mutual consent’ option to terminate a contract in lieu of a signing fee if the ‘surplus to requirements’ receive offers from elsewhere. No big surprises for me really, and I can imagine the talk with big John would have been a particularly tough one for the Cowleys. If Noah hasn’t immediately accepted an offer, that presumably means there’s only a year on the table. Will he stay at his home club for the start of the Cowley revolution or take two years (which I’m sure he’ll get) elsewhere in League 2? Personally I hope he stays, along with the rest under offer.
Much as that may be true for League 2 next season, the franchise deserve nothing but abject failure and the sooner they cease to exist the better. We don't even have to weep for the loss of the league side, because they're not a league side - they're an abomination who stole a league place purely for commercial gain and destroyed a proper football league club in the process.
I don't wish this, but Pete Winkleman will eventually die, we all do. I just hope MK Frankenstein dies with him.
So far we've gained 1,197 driving miles for the six teams joining League 2, comprising: Carlisle (315) Fleetwood (280) Port Vale (199) Chesterfield (177) Cheltenham (161) and Bromley (65)
With the League 2 play-off winners yet to be decided, so far we've lost 882 driving miles for the five teams that have left League 2, comprising: Stockport (-235) Wrexham (-229) Forest Green (-170) Mansfield (-161), and Sutton (-87)
That's a net gain of 315 miles. Of the League 2 play-off contenders, the furthest in driving miles is Crewe, a distance of 207 miles, which would mean a modest gain of 108 miles - assuming of course your starting point is Colchester.
Reckon you’re not wrong there Noah, particularly as Ipswich had already sold out their season tickets last week (20,000 apparently). Once they’ve accommodated 3,000 away fans, that’s only going to leave 5-6,000 at most, and the glory-hunters will soon snap them up. Add in the Cowley Revolution factor, and I won’t be surprised if we move north of a 5,000 average next season.
Message from the Blue and White Army, who have done so much to improve the matchday experience for all of us, home and away.
"Anyone who sees this, can you email bluewhitearmy1937@gmail.com please:
Essentially the idea is to have a large waver displayed each game that represents smaller logos or references to all international supporters that want to contribute towards the funding of it & the design in some way too! Like a patch jacket of some sorts is how it’d look in my head"
Huddersfield Town, the team that literally gave us our blue and white stripes, stand between that shower of shite up the road and automatic promotion to the Premier League. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the Terriers could pull it off as their parting gift to the Championship, and then Ipshit to lose the play-off final to Nodge.
Special mentions for Jay (Mingi), Brad, Jayden, Samson and yes, Noah. Does that point to at least five who'll be retained if the right contracts can be agreed?
So was Matt Jay, but he hasn't quite worked out (yet?)
Harry Pell has been released by AFC Wimbledon as well, but can't really see how he'd fit in back here - even if we wanted him, and he wanted to return.
