At least we know the ground will never ever ever be as bad as Edgar Street!

23 years ago when I started going it was literally a field with a perimeter fence, a wooden pavilion stand that seated about 80 people and a bar complete with leaking roof. We now play in a palace, albeit a draughty one

Well said mate, look at this from Walsall fc
1990 - The Bescot Stadium is opened.
1992 - Jeff Bonser buys the club, which again was minutes away from entering receivership. Players were told to find new clubs, and staff were told to clear their desks before Bonser's last minute save.

I look forward to hearing John Coleman's interviews on Radio Lancashire and am disappointed that if I miss them live I have to wait till Monday to hear them.

I am sure what he says motivates the players and it certainly stirs debate.

John Coleman is a great competitor who needs to win and it comes through in what he has to say. That can only be good for the club's league placings.

Its better than having a boring manager who does not show the players or supporters that he cares.

Re: Colemans comments?
 

I don't mind the ground at all. I prefer grounds like that myself, at least it has some character.

I just don't like arrogant football managers talking rubbish and can't accept defeat.

Oh and Stanley Convert: Well don,t come again oh sorry you might have to when your in league two next season cos you aint that good

We've won 7 home games, scored 18 goals and conceded 0. Oh and we've only lost 1 away. Pretty good for a team that "aint that good".

I still think Lincoln are going to win the league though but 3rd place will do us fine.

Re: Colemans comments?
 

Just now managed to listen to Coley's comments at last by disabling my NTL Netguard firewall temporarily. I must say that he called it honestly as he saw the game and you can appreciate how his burning ambition has propelled us so far in a short time. I don't think he was being disrespectful to Walsall in saying we were miles better than them, as I think any neutral observer at the game would have been hard pressed to know which of the two teams was top of the league. He did contradict himself a few times, however; for example saying we dominated, but then slamming his players for being "lifeless in all areas"! Walsall didn't play well but got the rub of the green and good luck to them - just like us in many games last season.
I, for one, think we are very, very lucky to have a manager who demands high standards, and long may he reign!

Re: Colemans comments?
 

I think all Coley meant to say was he believes/believed that Walsall were beatable and was disappointed that we didnt turn em over - ambition like that can only be and has proved in the last 7 years, to be a very good thing. Could have worded it better I agree but like others have said, the man is passionate about this club and the football it plays. Id much rather have a manager that shows he gives a toss about the club I support than just fire boring maccawozzagod cliches at the press all the time - at the end of the day..
