I'm certain you're right, if the club have an option on another year, they can activate if they wish. |

Quite right, more often than not their first quote will be a bit of a punt, see if they can get away with it. I don't haggle as much as I probably should, but I certainly hold providers to account if I've paid for a service that wasn't up to scratch for whatever reason. Rarely fail to get some form of refund and/or compensation, particularly if I get the relevant ombudsman/ woman involved - they love this stuff! |

I had nothing against Chuck, but I'm not sure he'd be the right fit for us these days? |

Excellent - the early kick-off and a social event the night before put the kybosh on being there for the 4-0 drubbing, but usually a trip to the Bescot is one of the easier trips from here. Looking forward to giving it a go next season, providing the fixture computer plays nice. |

I didn't see the game, taking Alfie back to Bristol after a surprise visit yesterday evening. Will Mat Sadler survive this? Plenty (most?) on the Walsall forum want him out now. So we've lost a reasonably local trip to Plough Lane next season, and possibly an outside chance of signing Alastair Smith, but I think Walsall will be a weaker side than AFCW if the result had gone the other way, so not all necessarily bad news. |

Thread | League 1 play-off - Charlton v Orient
at 19:39 25 May 2025
I must admit I quite enjoyed that one, a good game between two decent sides. Even though my (maternal) grandad was a Charlton fan, and I work for the group sponsoring them, I would have been okay with the underdogs Leyton Orient getting through. Particularly so after being there to see their relegation to the National League as a result of the loathsome Bechetti.
But, to be fair, the best team won, Charlton deserved it, and they should be (at least) a Championship club. It also keeps the ever-popular trip to Brisbane Road potentially just one season away, or who knows, next season in one of the cup competitions? |

Thread | Anyone watch the Championship play-off final?
at 18:57 24 May 2025
Not the best game I've watched, but Sheffield United were in complete control with barely 15 minutes to go, and still managed to throw it away against the resurgent Black Cats. Sheffield's disallowed second goal seemed harsh on first viewing, but ultimately the right call. I was pleased for Sunderland, even if they'll likely only have the single season and then get relegated straight back down.
A perfect 10 for Sheffield United though, ten play-off campaigns, ten failures.
Edit: I should also add, three cracking goals too! [Post edited 24 May 19:02]

Sounds like he's on the case, knows what the problem is and knows what has to be done - this is very encouraging - and yes, last game of the season the pitch looked as good as it has been for months, even if he's now starting from scratch. |

You’ll be okay Noah, the Accrington clubhouse will still be available. The withdrawal of their entertainment licence only relates to events outside of match days. Last time I was at Barnet I thought having our own bar under the stand, open throughout the match and for a while even after the final whistle, was first rate. Don’t remember if I tried the food though. |
