Carlisle look like they may add another ex prisoner to their ranks

Most fans don't want the thug back. Hopefully Sheff W will decide to keep him.

The transmission of a live game from Scotland was delayed until after the watershed because of the excessive amount of ripe language from the fans in the stands!

I can't believe we are behind Cov!! And over 500 behind Forest!!
Still with games we have left our average is likely to increase as we will likely fill most of the away ends until the end of the season

The Top 10 - Average Away Attendances in the FL (from the 72)
1) Leeds United - 3,186
2) Nottingham Forest - 2,468
3) Wolverhampton Wanderers FC - 2,257
4) Sheffield Wednesday FC - 2,041
5) Derby County - 1,948
6) Coventry City FC – - 1,933
7) Leicester City Football Club - 1,914
8) Burnley Football Club - 1,582
9) Middlesbrough FC - 1,558
10) Huddersfield Town - 1,540

EDIT Just noticed this on the OS

The Club have been handed an allocation of 3,060 tickets for the Ewood Park clash, which will kick-off at 3pm in what is sure to be a crucial moment in the race for promotion to the Premier League.

That should put our average up a bit.

Most Cov fans are boycotting their "home" games and a lot are going to away games instead. There were only 1,400 home fans at their game against Carlisle last week, and tickets were only £9.

They wouldn't be anywhere near break even for the night

We are currently on another thread talking about our last season in the Premier League when we won only 6 games all season. We drew too many - 15 and only lost 17, the same games lost as Portsmouth who finished 13th.
Anyway not quite as bad as losing 169 of the last 171 games played like this team in Staffordshire Anyway they have finally won. Well done Tunstall Town FC

Looks like you've dodged a bullet.
Wednesday seem to be behind his rehabilitation. Uncle Milan, who of course came close to serving time himself, said "In addition, we firmly believe the club can play a key, hands-on role in facilitating Gary's rehabilitation back into the professional working environment."
Gary Madine: Jailed Sheffield Wednesday striker to rejoin squad

I am grateful to Sheffield Wednesday for giving me this continued opportunity and I can only promise never to let the club or anyone else down in this manner again

He's done his time, and so on and so forth.

Diego Maradona planning to make a professional come back at 53 years old?

They would say that, they want to be seen to be doing the right thing. If he plays one more game for them they'll have to pay another £100,000 (£90,000 of which goes to Carlisle), so that might influence what they do next.

After his first conviction, for an unprovoked attack on a Carlisle fan in a pub, he said things about learning his lesson. He clearly didn't, and did it twice more (that we know of - there are rumours of other stuff as well). He seems to be one of those people who becomes violent after a few drinks and the only way he'll stay out of trouble is by not drinking at all.

He signed for a fifth division Argentine side recently.

He was at the F1 testing and they mentioned he's going to be playing again, he's in Dubai to get fit but still looks like a house end

Groundsman being drunk at work might just make those controversial decisions a ref sometimes do even more controversial;

Too lazy to start a new foreign football thread so I put this in this bastard of a thread instead.

Nice bit of fair play;



Edit; I expect RichB will soon be around saying something about Drinky......

Cardiff and Hull fans will be jealous of Luton fans in regards to what their team is called or wears http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26575873

Hopefully the way our lot are doing things we will not need such legal rights
