You know what, I thought he was dour until I heard him interviewed properly rather than as an opposing manager, now I totally disagree. Pragmatic, absolutely. Dour, never in a million years. He is very engaging and easy to listen to and his knowledge of the game and professionalism makes Stuart look like the manager of East Bowling Unity.

 

Walsall paid £478k in training ground, stadium and other leases in their 19/20 season so it’s not an unusual amount City pay.

If Rupp bought the ground back himself or loaned money to the club to buy it he’d presumably either want to be paid back by the club or if another business of his bought the stadium it would want rent or interest payments. If City borrowed from the bank they would have to pay the money back.

Either way, there is no way around not paying for a stadium unless someone gifts it to you, a bit like the home you live in. For Division 4, City have a big stadium that doesn’t come cheap.

 

The thread has turned into absolute farce.

 

TBF to McCall that first season when he returned was one of my favourite in recent memory. Cusp of the Championship, hard to beat and really good to watch. Albeit frustrating at times as should have gone up automatic with 19 draws!!!

Nothing tops the League cup final season but that was my favourite 'League season' since the PL.

 

Aye. If Charlie Wyke had come in August instead of January we would have grabbed 2nd place comfortably.

 

I think he's just shorter than the CBs, it's often 2 on one as he's up there alone, and it's always easier to defend a long ball than attack one... if ever it comes in at chest height to him he tends to outmuscle the defender and bring it under control. If we're wanting to resort to long balls at any point we need a bigger target man

 

It's pay on the gate.

 

As Adams alludes to, at the start of his career he was scoring in L1. He also ripped Morecambe a new one last year. So he definitely has the ability to do it for us.
Sounds to me like Adams is a good man manager who knows which players need the boot up the backside and which need the arm round the shoulder and confidence boost. I'm pretty sure, from what I know of him, that Lee Angol is one of the latter. Hopefully he'll repay Adams' faith in him.

 

Achille Campion got a hat trick against Avenue once I think!!!

 

It's pretty much in a housing estate on the back road that runs behind the Dusty Miller, all street parking unless Brighouse have a car park. It's a good two miles out of Brighouse Town centre, probably actually nearer to Hipperholme.

It's quite close to Crows Nest Golf Club.

Nearest pub is the Old Pond, but you could always park at the Halifax Steam Brewery, have a pint there and walk down (about a mile). If you do try the Uncle John.

 

You are a brilliant guide Uyllses. When I was a young sprog if anyone stopped to ask my Dad for directions he would use pubs for landmarks when directing them on their journey. He passed away in 1987 but would be useless now all the pubs are closing down.

 

Did you get in for free then when we played Liverpool a couple of years ago:?

 

To check how the fitness is building

 

Was it Adams or Sparks who was on about the importance of relationships with local clubs? Might have been both, either way it’s good to see.

 

Boris Johnson made it very clear yesterday. 'Yes! Masks, faces! As the Greek scholar Aeschylus once opined, the humph and the hurr, and the what! Bye jimminy. It is the bedazzle of the people persons, without doubt and clearly'. So hope you're all much more in the know now, folks.

 

If you are saying this in regards to being in your seat then you are wrong. No one should have to watch a match with a mask on when there is 3, 000 odd people in a 25,000 seat stadium regardless of what the club or council say. Stick one on when you go to the loo but not when your out in the fresh air with no one around you.

 

Wonder if Fordy is happy with our fitness levels..

 

They controlled the game early on but we were very competitive and nearly caught them on the break a few times.the more the game went on the more we got on top after a few doubts in previous matches about the full backs I think they both did very well in fact the whole team looked sharp and determined it’s only pre season but this one seems to be going very well. The only small downside is I think Songo may have picked an injury but Sutton certainly puts a foot in very well

 

Well said.

getting the business done early has been great too. Very excited for the new season now
