Played in the Simod Cup winning team at Wembley 4-1 against Luton, and in the words of Max Boyce, 'I was there' We got relegated from the old first division that season, and could not defend the trophy.:eek:

Luton were a good team in those days, and also got to the League Cup final the same year.

Reading legend Stuart Beavon. Played in the same team as the great Trevor Senior.

He was telling my dad he scored a penalty at wembley! Not many people can say that!!
 
So what's in store for Bolton? No wages paid in November and looking for a new owner, when if found, the £185m debt to Davies will be written off!

Doesn't look good, any more local news/gossip doing the rounds?
 
I've just read a number of posts on this thread and it's quite refreshing that football chat doesn't have to be conducted like 10 year olds in the school playground and doesn't, also, have to confine itself to just 3 teams!

Well said that Palarse man! ;). Only thing I miss about not being in the Championship is a thread like this.
 
Essex Senior Cup tonight for my lot v Canvey Island. Not the greatest competition I'll admit but with an hour gone and subs having been made, every player on the pitch is either an Academy or Youth Team Graduate. Impressive that our academy is producing enough players and exactly what they need to be doing for a club like ours to survive. If we can bring through and sell on a couple of academy players each season we'll be putting ourselves in a great position to hopefully move on to the next level and look to move up through the league.

Our Academy has paid for itself easily over the last seven or eight years. We had over ten academy players play in the first team last season, and it is great to see the young kids coming through. We had four academy regulars playing this season until recent injuries. Also at least four out on loan in the first and second divisions, who are doing well. Fans love local lads playing for their teams.

Surprised it has taken so long for a lot of lower league teams to take the Crewe route to survival.

I see Fulham are after Mark Warburton.
Good move, he impresses me.

He's already said he's not interested. I can see why. Rangers are still a big club, regardless of what has gone on and getting them back to the SPL and regular old firm derbies will be massive. If they can then get into Europe as well why would he want to go to a struggling championship side with a young squad that will get picked apart in January.
