    It's all about opinions I know but I think he gets a hard time from some on here. He has made mistakes, but we all do (don'twe?), and as said in a previous post he will have learnt so much through his experiences. Keep going Ryan, next season COULD be the one :blush:

    I assumed there was a Thornton-le-Beans in every county?

    All of Essex is pretty good, we lived on the HERTS / Essex border so know it well. Once you get past Onger southwards I detested it. Thurrock, Lakeside, Dagenham, Brentwood. Yuk!

    You is dissin' my homeys m8!

    I was born in Orsett hospital and spent my first 24 years in Grays, Thurrock, before going to Bradford Uni.




    But you are actually right. North Essex is lovely. But nearly everything south of Ongar is pretty dire. There are odd pockets here and there that are nice, such as Orsett and Horndon, but most of it is fairly grim. I have almost no family left in Grays these days so I hardly ever get back there nowadays.

    2 years ago when Port Vale and Bradford City both said the season should end.

    Port Vale then said next season we will go up.
    Sparks said only promotion will do.

    Both failed.

    Season after Port Vale get to the play off final.
    Bradford City finish bottom half.

    Less talking more action. Time to deliver! Bradford City far too many times just fail to deliver and it needs to stop now. We have a top manager which is great but Sparks and Rupp need to do more.
