Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted April 24, 2019 Apparently L1pswich are also renowned for footballing landmarks. What even is a 'United ec'? Extra shirt stars looming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,457 Posted April 24, 2019 Oh dear “History has plenty to do with it. Why do you think we will end up with 15,000 or so for the opening home game next season, whilst Rochdale will get 3,000 despite charging a similar ticket price? You don't get any additional points for being a club steeped in history, but when we are 5th at Christmas and Lincoln are 4th and we are both offering £3,000 per week for 14 goal Tom Eaves at Gillingham, wait and see which club he decides to join. That's exactly where having won the UEFA Cup, having built up a fan base over years of being a European force and having history comes into play. We will be a massive League One club, like Leeds, Forest, Man City, Sheffield Wednesday were in a sea of Gillingham, Rochdale and Accrington. It doesn't directly change your fortunes, but it can lead to circumstances that come to change your fortunes. Like convincing Marcus Stewart to leave Huddersfield Town, who'd achieved nothing for 80 years, for a club that had been hugely successful in the days he was growing up.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 207 Posted April 24, 2019 That's just madness ramblings from silly old men. I can see them getting envious as Spurs have beaten them both to "first cashless stadium"...damn I wanted that accolade!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) What a steaming pile of 💩💩💩💩 Sheffield Uniteds great ‘history’ saw them win the league in 1898! How the hell that has any relevance in today’s football is beyond me 🤔🤔 Edited April 24, 2019 by JF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've achieved nothing for the last 38 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted April 24, 2019 I lost interest when the binner actually boosted about the possibility of beating Lincoln to the signing of that 27 years old superstar Tom Eaves from the Gills by offering him £3, 000 per week. I then realised the enormity of that 'gap' and that they no longer have anything to offer as credible rivals. L1pswich 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 24, 2019 We qualified for Europe 3 times in the 1980’s but didn’t get to participate due to the English club ban following the Heysel tragedy. We should really have a star on our shirt for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,444 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) I've just been on the Royal Engineers message board and there's spat growing on there between them, Wanderers and Old Etonians. Apparently Wanderers are the bigger club because they won more FA Cups. But Old Etonians are claiming to be more relevant because their win was most recent and had the biggest crowd - 1882 & 6500.
