Summer 2022 - Transfer Talk

I remember a few seasons back when someone spotted a young lad with an older bloke at Cedar Court and immediately presumed it was a potential signing. They posted a pic of him on here and everyone was trying to guess who it could be. Turned out to just be some random bloke.

 

Haha you know mate I don't sugar coat anything. Place is a right cess pit

 

You’ve not seen much of the UK if you think that’s up there with the worst!

 

The thing is, his agent will be informing other clubs and playing them off against each other as that's his job and he's incentivised to do it

 

Works both ways as the area itself is possibly the worst slum area in the western world. Rats, rubbish, drugs, dangerous drivers. Suddenly Crawley or FGR look good options.

I've been to 72 grounds, some are similar like Villa but I can't think of one worse.

 

Grimsby ?

 

Luton

 

Luton in the quarter final away was a fun night

 

Only in the dark and when David Bailey is out of the country

 

Luton and that was back in the late 60s, it seemed like you had to go through someone's back yard to get into the ground.

 

Beat me too it mate.

 

Apart from our goal keeper not knowing the rules.

 

Still do pretty much

 

Although attending some away grounds was a task in itself to get in alive, most had character unlike many of the modern stadiams.

 

Jordan Willis cited...

 

Use to work in Crawley, soulless dump

 

You mean like the ones where we could change ends at half time.

 

The City Centre and surroundings are an absolute hole. Further afield Bradford has some very decent areas.

 

Grimsby isnt as bad as Bradford, Villa, Luton ground areas. Nowhere near. Im not saying Grimsby is decent by any means btw...

 

I remember that being shown on A Question of Sport in the What Happened Next? round.. Don't think Tomlinson ever lived it down!
