    Midland Road has much more leg room than the lower Sunwin in my opinion.

    I’m not sure it does.

    What we are watching week in week out is what matters to 99.9% of the fans.
    They’ve been conned too many times with the guff coming out of Sparks’ mouth.
    Fans are really starting to realise that the club stinks and the main smell is originating in the CEO’s office.

    All it does it gives the fans a little bit of feel good.
    It will be quickly forgotten when people remember Morecambe and Swindon away and whatever happens between now and the time comes for Sparks to dip in to his never ending book of sound bites and tired slogans.

    Interestingly, at least 11 clubs have gone on to reach the Premier League after reaching the final of the EFL Trophy.

    His footwork, touch which then gives him the ability and time to play a simple pass, is different level.

    Made me chuckle as well but not as funny as his response to a caller on Saturday who called in to discuss a subject and Kiwomya said that's definitely something that is up for discussion and immediately moved on to something else. :joy:

    Just got back to the pub. So many good individual performances and our passing was much much better without Smallwood. Young is a breath of fresh air but Oduor is still useless and Doncaster are proper crap.

    Cook shooting from the corner flag sums up how selfish he is. We need to progress as a team, not with individuals

    There was much more mobility in the side last night. It was stark in how much it highlighted how slow and cumbersome we otherwise, usually are. And it's no coincidence that when you put better technical footballers in the side like McDonald and Chapman, we move the ball better. McDonald especially. He's the only midfielder we have the can pass the ball properly.

    As one or two have asked how much money we have earned and could earn from this season's competition:

    This season's competition has earned us £160,000 in participation/prize money so far.

    We will also get a £20,000 facility fee for Sky TV coverage in the semi final.

    If we lose in the semi-final, this season's competition will have earned us £180,000 in participation/prize/TV money (£20,000 participation money / £140,000 prize money / £20,000 semi-final TV money).

    If we reach the final and lose we will get an extra £50,000, bringing the total to £230,000.

    If we win the competition we will get an extra £100,000, bringing the total to £280,000.

    I don't think we weakened our team to be honest. Pointon, Chapman, Stubbs and McDonald strengthened it in my view.
    Ok, we were missing Walker, Halliday and Cook (for most of the match) but overall we weren't weaker than the team put out v Crawley.

    Ironically when we played Derby County in this competition the other week that was the best performance other than Wrexham away in the cup I've seen from this group of players.
    Both games had everything I want to see from my club pride, passion and commitment to reach the next round shame its seldom repeated in our league campaign.

    Our ticket sales look dire. Blocks B, E & F of the main stand mainly untouched. The Bradford end looks like they have reduced the sales to just 1 block due to take up and barely a few hundred in the lower Kop.

    I have to say I made up my mind walking back from the game last Tuesday that I wasn't going and I think there will have a fair few have done the same.
