Good Friday fixtures

[thewwfc]

You’d expect most sides still in the promotion hunt to win here, apart from us v a Bolton side desperate for a playoff spot, and needing the win to avoid their season petering out to nothing.

Posh have improved of late but their fixture v Stockport runs the classic “after the Lord Mayor’s show” risk, especially since PUFC have nothing to play for now.

Exeter v Burton is a biggie in the relegation dogfight, given that the Gas are nailed on to get done by Wrexham.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Suspect we're being confirmed as down, hard to see us getting a win at Hudds in any circumstance, let alone if we're kicking off knowing Burton may have already won.

It's been a pleasure, Garry Monk era aside, everyone.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Didn't realise we were the only early kick off.
Hopefully we can play with a bit of freedom and help Rovers out, worried about our growing injury list though and Burton putting three past Huddersfield on Saturday.

 

[AdamStag]

Friday is very much a case of going to rotherham and hoping we can get a point and seeing what happens below. We won the return fixture 2-1 in a scrappy turgid game, another like that would be wonderful. As expected, a sellout away following in attendance of around 2,200 or so.

 

[The Terminator]

I was quietly confident of maybe beating the Barns, but they had a good win Saturday which has left me a lot more cautious.

We basically need 6 points from these 2 games, given we have Wycombe then Huddersfield as our last 2 and Reading have a much easier run in than us.

Hoping Charlie Kelman can get the golden boot though, no Orient player to my knowledge has ever won one.

 

[Master D]

Bolton are a joke like Huddersfield considering the budgets, I'm expecting Wycombe to go there and do the job on them. It looked a tough game a few weeks ago but not now.

 

[Davidimp]

Our players played like they're already on the beach after a bright start v Shrewsbury.
Comfortable win for Reading

 

[LordJord]

Away at Charlton, a great away day generally. Sadly Terry Taylor cannot play against his parent club (hes been excellent for us, played every minute since joining). Assuming Hondemarck will come in or Mcgeehan will drop back, either way its a loss.

Charlton seem to be flying and I think whilst we will battle well can see us coming up short. Any points gained would be a huge bonus. We are getting so close to safety, one more win should see it certain (although our current points might be enough.

That being said, 2-0 Charlton.

Why are we a joke......150 years of History a proud tradition, Stadium you only dream of. Crowds you will never get even if you rise to the Premier league.
We had a awful Manager and a lob sided squad.
Your football is Turgid and you wont survive the championship
A bridge to far

Stadium is very ordinary imo, not one I look to rush back to every season

Hes referring to your terrible form.

I think it's far from ordinary, it's a very distinctive stadium. Better when there are some away fans to add to the atmosphere.

Your opinion, I prefer others

 

[Trapdoor]

Notlobs stadium is fine. Not one I particularly look forward to, but it's not bad. In that rough vicinity I rate Huddersfield, Stockport Rovrum and Wrexhams grounds higher though.

As mid-90s all seater stadiums go Boltons isn't bad at all. It does have the worst name of any Stadium in the UK though.

I'm not sure you can say that Wrexham can 'only dream' of having a stadium as good as Boltons. Stadium design has come a long way in the last 30 years.

As we are getting 13k attendances in League one (at around 98% capacity) it's a bit of a stretch to say we can't get the 19-22k Bolton get if we increase our ground capacity. Wrexham is a small place but even without the international element we draw our fan base from all across North and Mid Wales. Even when we were stinking up the national league we had buses of fans coming from Anglesey way. We do, and always have had, the potential for decent crowds and capacity allowing we could comfortably see 25k crowds here if we were in the Prem.

Both clubs are historic clubs with history the fanbases can be proud of. Bolton are a 'bigger club' historically- I don't think anyone sensible would deny that. But no idea why the thought of Wrexham having some success would upset you so much.

The Championship, if we get there, will be a different challenge to Leagues 1 and 2. Whether we survive or not time will tell.

Nothing wrong with having a opinion, but i would get yourself booked in to specsavers asap

 

[masi51]

If he was he would be quite correct.......We played a team who were already on the beach last week......Hammered us on the pitch and left us with another 4 injured.....Morley out until next season.
Not had less than half a dozen out each game but that is no excuse on how we have under performed

The stadiums name is a local plastic Recycling Company..The owners wife was a big Bolton fan who sadly passed away and he sponsored the naming of the stadium in her memory.
The stadium has had 4 names since being built Two named after companies from Bolton, One season the University sponsored it and one season Macron who have no links to Bolton sponsored it.

Whoever pays the money gets the naming rights

Well yes, I'm not crazy about the Stok cold brew stadium or whatever we are called now

I suspect most people still think 'Reebok stadium' deep down. I know I do.

 

[denzel ecfc]

By the way, when we played there a couple of seasons ago I went with my disabled friend, we were put in the top tier. But the lift wasn't working so he had to walk up a 100 steps to get up there, which took him about ten minutes. Modern stadium my ar#e.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

The stadium is decent, just takes out of town to an extreme.

Until you move to a state of the art Stadium which may happen.....Your Stadium is the Racecourse......Stok cold brew........Sounds like you have been invited for a drink in the potteries

We are a town....You are a large City......Our ground is in the town.....100 yards from the train Station......300 yards from the Motorway
Very hard task master

Did we play you Easter Monday.....Best miracle since year zero

In all seriousness.....We have many stewards and if approached they would have got a alternative route to your seats....Or offered you seats without the need to walk up any flight of stairs.....Maybe a letter addressed to our owner would i think certainly be replied,,,,,She would not have been happy to know that went on.

I said he was disabled, I didn't say he couldn't walk. But it took a lot out of him. Presumably lots of other people have walking problems and would have found it hard that day.

It was the stewards that said we'd have to walk up, they couldn't care less.
A contrast to when we went to Wigan, they couldn't do enough for him.

 

[masi51]

Agreed especially the elderly, like i say a quiet word with a steward may have got you a alternative route
Or a better seat lower down....Hope any further visits result in a better experience

Again that is not good, but i think you would have had a choice of where to sit as Exeter never bring more than a few hundred in a end that fits 2 plus grand and before this season 5 plus grand

Doubt you paid a tenner for a ticket like Exeter fans did this season when you went to Wigan
