Title: Fleetwood Town
Post by: Branton Rover on July 03, 2020, 08:24:33 pm
Can someone explain to me how  they are  paying all the players like Ched Evans, Paul Coutes, Glen Whelan, Paddy Madden - all established pros who’s wages will be considerable  & lets not forget Danny Andrew - I know they’ve got a benevolent chairman but their ground is only 6500 capacity - I can see trouble ahead - administration is a possibility if they don’t go up, another Bury FC

Doesn’t one of their chairman’s companies rent an office from the football club for a vast amount a year

Still, after all those established names, they are 1-3 down at half time, and down to ten men, and Wycombe missed a penalty as well. So pleased!

Hopefully Wycombe & Pompey will make final meaning a long trip next season will vanish

Chairman has plenty of money and loves football I can’t see him leaving them in any trouble

He’ll be losing plenty of money too there’s no way income can meet expenditure given the size of the ground & there will come a point when the chickens come home to roost

You're being generous with that 6500 capacity Branton. The actual figure is only 5327.

Those cheating Fleetwood B......S got their just rewards tonight.
Wycombe weren’t much better at Adams park in Nov.
But Fleetwood play like their manager did and a strong ref tonight could see what they were up to. Just a pity we didn’t get a strong ref when we played them at Highbury. They got away with murder.

That maybe true. But he will have to reign in the spending eventually. A club of that size can’t sustain Championship football for long. ( if they eventually get there ) Their gates ave little over 3.000 and that’s when they are doing well.

The one down side hound is we will probably have to go to that windy, freezing cold fishing village once again next season and come home empty handed.  :headbang: :facepalm: :crying:

EFL please can we play them away very early in the season before spectators are allowed back. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.  :that:

Let’s hope it is one of the early games then mate and then we won’t be able to go for certain.

Barton has built a team like himself - low life.
So....cast your minds back...Oakwell months (years!) ago....Barton has still to appear in court....another disgrace - lets hope he gets found guilty & imprisoned.
Has anyone got a date for this?

Ah bu5 you have asked the EFL to do that for us.
They might get round to having a meeting about it ........in January.

They owe us one after the Bolton debacle, but your right. January possibly February for a meeting to decide on the next meeting.
I will almost guarantee Fleetwood away will be between November and February and it will be freezing.

I guess I will have to wear a snood then instead of a face mask, to keep that cold wind off.

A perfect example of why ppg was floored from the get go! Fleetwood, alias flat track bullies, were never good enough to be top 6. They’ve dropped lucky due to the circumstances, as have Wycombe, to be fair, but at least Wycombe did have that amazing start to last season under their belts. The sooner that numbskull of a manager at Fleetwood gets found out, the better.

Unfortunately, for every side in L1 next season, they are going to have to be revisiting that awful place.

Wycombe got lucky to get in the play offs but tbf to Fleetwood they were in a great position to get the play offs in the normal season and were on a great run of form before lockdown. I don't think they've dropped lucky due circumstances and think they would have likely got play offs anyway.

I think we would have pipped them and, if not us, Peterborough were far better.

Post by: IDM on July 04, 2020, 09:25:22 am
Why were Wycombe lucky to get into the play offs.?  Weren’t there 6 teams after the top two only separate by one point, and Wycombe had a game in hand?

Whatever PPG equation you apply just to that game in hand, it would have given Wycombe more than one point.

I think so far the championship has shown PPG not to be the fair way, but we all knew that.

Nice to see the Neanderthal get a tonking last night and his collection of second rate thugs .

If we are to meet next season I'm looking forward to putting you Mr Barton to the sword just as Daniel Stendel did over the two games , how many was it we stuck past your team over the two games ...... eight was it ? .

You couldn't take it could you ?

Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to send you the DVD and let you watch it in your cell .

i can't understand how Barton is not behind bars,
What a crap legal system we have that keeps giving known offenders the benefit of the doubt.

Both Barton and Keane, in my opinion, should be behind bars for committing GBH.

If i did what these two have done on town moor, i know what would have happened to me

But then, I'm low profile

It's not down to the EFL though Campsall, well not on their own anyway. In fairness its a rather complicated setup, something we as supporters have had an input to for many years. This article is worth a read;
