Bits & Bobs

Any particular reason why we don’t have a game in the EFL trophy this week and most others do?
 
I can’t think of any League One Manager who isn’t an ex player.

true 28. being a pro especially a good one does not guarentee you being a good manager or coach. plenty have give it a go and failed maybe due to doing a job lower down than what they played in and loose patiance with lads who cannot do what they could on or off the pitch.

This is off topic; but I'll let it go!!

WBA didn't want this date as it's it International Break.

Invited clubs lead the way on the dates for fixtures. If you remember we played Middlesboro on the "reserve" date last year.

Thanks for clarifying Mr T

It seems a bizarre decision unless they plan on playing a strong 11?
 
Makes some sense to keep the Cat 1 clubs "on-side".

Middlesboro had a few of their younger lads on International duty; guess WBA have the same situation.
 
130 years ago today the first fixtures of what was to become the English Football League were played.
Th'Owd Reds started at Anfield against Everton. Accrington were reduced to 10 men when their goalkeeper had to leave the pitch after breaking a rib.
We woz robbed!

When will the new Whinney Hill stand be open and used?
A little bird told me it could be used for the match v Bradfoot City on October 13th? Will it be used for Away fans or Home fans? Bradfoot could possibly fill it as well as the Coppice End!

Increased revenue would be more than welcome but the Clayton end would still "Out Sing" 'em though!

Andy has said on twitter the stand will be ready for Bradford and likely away fans only. Though (my opinion is that) not all the facilities will be ready.
