League 2 General Chat Thread

[Si Robin]

Why are these musicians playing at L1 and L2 stadiums? Surely they’ve got more supporters than that, especially Little Mix and Lionel Richie?!

Apparently the tickets haven't even been selling that well for the gig at Whaddon Road.

Om another note, congratulations Accy, £1 a pint in their bar last night, there'll be a few sore heads this morning in that part of Lancashire.

We had Westlife in about 2011/12. Mansfield is rubbish for any event like that as it’s a pain in the arse to get to on the train. It wasn’t selling well at all and someone from the club was trying to flog tickets for £10 to those of us arriving back from our away game at Kiddermister that day

The year before we had the X Factor tour and Jedward turned up, they were the most annoying double act to ever grace Field Mill until Evans and Raynor rocked up.

 

[Agombar stool]

Well we had Toploader with Paulo Di Canio doing 'Vocals' at our promotion party on 2010/11 (I think it was)

Apparently there was a fracas at Sincil Bank at the Lincoln v Wycombe game and at one point Matt Rhead and Akinfenwa squared up to each other.
Here's a picture of the incident:

Where will Lincoln play their remaining home games? And will they be able to rebuild Sincil Bank in time for next season?

They're quite big venues when you include standing on the pitch. When Brunton Park is used as a concert venue we use the East Stand and the pitch and I think it holds around 18-20,000. Rod Stewart, Olly Murs, Elton John, UB40 have all played there.

 

[shoddycollins]

How much have you put on, 5,6,7,8 quid?

I'd have a good comeback but this thread has already exhausted the list of Steps songs I know.

Are you feeling down about that, one for sorrow I guess?

 

[Agombar stool]

I am very embarrassed to say I didn't have to google any of those steps songs!

As a student we used to watch a lot of music channel 'The Box' and steps used to appear a lot!

I'm proud to say I did have to google it as Steps songs are just about the last thing on my mind.
In my opinion all of their songs are better best forgotten.

Apparently Mick McCarthy was none too happy with the speculation linking Danny Cowley with the Ipswich job so he went to see him to have it out with him over whether he's spoken to the Ipswich hierarchy about the job whilst Mick was still in charge.

At one point it got very heated and they were stood literally nose to nose.


So they were still 2 foot apart.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

And that punchline was seen coming from just over 2miles away#joketrain#choochoo

 

[ShrimpsMeltdown]

If Jabo stays I’ll join the Cambridge bandwagon. That Elito is a top player.


I’m sure you would gladly take Devitt back, but you can’t be serious about Stockton? I’ve watched him a few times now, and I genuinely can’t believe he’s a professional footballer. I can’t think of anything positive he’s contributed since his arrival, he looks like he’d rather be anywhere else than on the pitch and is just generally awful to watch. Richie Bennett is shite, but he looks world class in comparison.

Another poor quality game, with just 3 games left of this utterly dull season you’d think it can only get better next year, but that’s not looking likely. Decent atmosphere from both sides at times yesterday, enjoyable day in the Morecambe sunshine.

Stockton was brilliant for us when he was on loan, just always scored out of nothing. We were heavily reliant on him, he probably kept our heads above the water that season.

 

[Luke Imp]

Home to Colchester for us tomorrow and a game we need 3 points from off the back of Tuesday's draw and with Coventry and Accrington away after that.

Arguably our worst 90 minutes of the season was at Colchester earlier in the season.

 

[JJ1532]

Coventry 2-0 up inside 6 minutes.

Coventry 2-0 up inside 6 minutes.

Good news got a £10 on them

Good news got a £10 on them

What price ? Must been 4/7 surely

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Ooooo good guess Darren 8/13

It was Bet £10 get a free £10 Bet over the weekend

Free money really then. Better than a kick in the gonads

I'd check that again if I was you because usually to get a free bet you have to bet at odds of 1.5 or more, I did it with Coral last week had a £5 on the Grand National just to get 4 more £5 free bets.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

No need fishy man, I’m an experienced degenerate gambler , always check the T&Cs.

1/5 or more with Billy Hills. That’s too good to turn down

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Our win today puts us on 71 points, the most points we have ever recorded in our 134 year history. Staggering.

Though at 2 points for a win until 1981 that would of been some effort !!
So in effect best total in last 37 years ?
Sorry I'm just being a plank

True. However, I'm sure there aren't many who have failed to break 70 points in the last 40 years.

 

[darren gregory]

Very true. Isn't there a weird Coventry anomaly about not finishing in the top 6 of any league in decades as well ?

 

[Vanni]

Congrats to Wycombe's keeper on his goal of the day. Well done fella!

 

[Pie and chips]

Many thanks to Thomas James of Yeovil for scoring the best own goal I've seen in our game today take a bow that man.

 

[valefan16]

Dreadful performance with a really negative line up today... but arise the holy one to ensure safety is sealed!

Mansfield had plenty of pressure but fairly powder puff... took the bizarrest of own goals... and minutes later Howkins nearly scored another.

 

[JJ1532]

One of the worst games of football I've ever had the misfortune of watching in Crewe v Morecambe. We played like we were on the beach, Morecambe huffed and puffed but had little to no quality. They had a couple of decent chances, a free kick well saved by Garratt and a sitter from Callum Lang which he somehow missed.

Goal was fitting for the game, a scruffy finish. We deserved it in the end as we'd pushed on towards the end whereas Morecambe were horrifically unambitious, seemed happy to play for a point. That's us on 50 and safety mathematically secured. Just hope we play a bit better than we did in this one, because it was a shocking game.

 

[GTFCfish]

We've picked up 7 points from a possible 9, what the actual fuck?!

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

#handbrake fully engaged

Spectacular performance to date what is that 1 win in 10 having taken over an upwardly
mobile side playing with confidence and sat in 5th and looking up.

There is only one man I blame for this spectular choke . Nasty nasty man!

But keep the faith Costa Del Stag
