I must admit I had no idea that Bobby Houghton ( a revolutionary coach in Sweden) had been a coach for Bobby Robson! He would have been very young when he got into coaching, probably even younger than McKenna. |

I think even having one (EEJB) is better than some clubs can muster. I guess one way to get a new one is to get the tannoy to play a song regularly, so that fans associate it with Portman Road, and ( like others on here) I think there’s no need to look any further than the Addicts ‘viva la revolucion’ ( plus diacritics!) .
I remember being in Churchman’s in about 1981 and ‘Hey Mickey ‘ by Toni Basil being sung, I guess in tribute to M.Mills. But I don’t know if was unique to Town, or if it endured more than a month or two. |

I think there's a chance Braintree will be sent north next season. Between them and Oxford City, I think. |

Reading their message board, fans seem generally to take the view it's no big deal, even if it's taken a bit of the sheen off the season. (At one point they were going after Wrexham's points record.) They didn't even try to win the FA Trophy, which should easily have been within their reach too.
Some take the view that in the excitement of their huge lead in January, they rewarded too many players with extended contracts and that this might come back to bite them next season when they are subject to financial fair play rules. To which the sensible reply (and their site seems very sensible on the whole) was 'only time will tell'. |

Chesterfield, 4 points from the last 7 games, and have lost their last four. [Post edited 16 Apr 7:13]

Hopefully on that basis it's United who are paying him. |

They were pre-season favourites. The top of League 2 has very much had an 'as-predicted' look to it for most of the season, ... though Salford only got safe from relegation yesterday, (despite losing.)
Wrexham - 7/2
Stockport - 5/1
Notts County - 6/1
Gillingham 10/1
Mansfield 12/1
Bradford 12/1
Salford 14/1
MK Dons 16/1 |

I think the league would be hypocritical if they said that. At the Orient -Colchester game a few years ago, the game was ‘abandoned’ because of a big pitch invasion by O’s fans protesting about the club’s ownership . After everyone had been told to leave the ground, the game was completed, with Colchester just knocking the ball around in their own half while the Orient players stayed in theirs. At the time I thought it was strange for all sorts of reasons, one being to do with what about gamblers who have predicted the exact score? If it was ok then, why not now? |

On this basis, what other teams are there to take an active dislike to? I can think of FC Nantes, and maybe Australia, but there must be others.
edit p.s. + Donegal GAA. Drive around Donegal and you see cheap yellow and green nylon flags littering the place. (Bedraggled flags seems to be a feature of Ireland in general.)
edit 2. On the other hand, the 'traditional' Cyrille Regis WBA away kit was, in my opinion, a thing of some beauty. [Post edited 9 Apr 15:19]

At Trent Bridge yesterday (Notts v Essex) the umpires found that Feroze Khushi's bat was too big. He was required to change it, and Essex will probably be docked points.
It made me wonder if there's any rule about how big goalkeeping gloves can be. They seem to be getting bigger and bigger. |

That's a pity, because Peterborough are usually quite fun to watch. (Wycombe, less so.)
Have they said what the gate is? |
