At 30, Jack Marriott really wouldn’t be a great piece of business for £500k and whatever wages he’d be on. What’s happened to us signing younger League One standard players with potential to develop? At the very least a Sam Smith-style signing where he still have three or so years at their peak left...

Only sounds like they’ve turned the speakers on in the East Stand this season. Otherwise can’t notice much of a difference around the ground.

I guess the police and H&S decision relates to this: https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2025/august/08/club-statement--nigel-eady-county-ground/ EDIT: It must do. Further work is required at Stratton Bank to ensure it can be opened, should demand necessitate its use. The following tasks have b...

There’s about 140 tickets remaining, so about 870 sold thus far.

This idea seems like a waste of wage bill to me. We have 4 specialist CBs plus Dorsett, and enough depth in FBs and midfield. Put his potential wages on a striker. They may be thinking it is a low cost/high reward signing as he was very highly rated before his injury. If he does sign, and no guaran...

Danny Namaso (Loader) joins AJ Auxerre on loan Saw he had been linked with a £10m move to Br$dy united? Was hoping we may get some sort of development fee (not looked at the rules) At £10m, we'd be due £300k (3%) should he move to a club from another country to Sporting - notwithstanding any agreem...

Great we have signed Williams as we needed another CB option. The one thing I don’t get is why we would sign Richie (assuming we are actually interested). He would be very expensive and would seem to be a luxury as we have a lot of right wing and right back options. I would much rather that we spen...

But also eight seasons in the Championship or League One, promoted from League One twice, once as champions. Not a bad pedigree. And if MLS is League One standard, how would League One defences have looked against the other teams in the CWC? He has had a lot of football in England, but if he's decl...

Lots of Atlanta fans seem pretty gutted by this move and it looks like he was highly rated which bodes well. A few mentioned he's lost his legs so I'm guessing that's an age and fitness related thing....however at 32 he should be ok for a few more years at least especially as a CB. Its looking like...

stealthpapes Good showing last night.

Haven't seen Clyde1998 in a while. Hope you're alright.

Thanks. I've been dealing with some personal issues, so haven't been able to be on here too often.

A bit surprised by this one.

Seems there's no transfer fee, but Atlanta have a future sell-on fee: https://www.atlutd.com/news/atlanta-uni ... ng-fc-2025

Just thinking about the squad and I think it's clear a lot of people's expectations are too high for this season from what I've seen and heard since the start of the season (especially on Twitter or on BBC Berks). When we compare to the close of the summer transfer window last season, we've lost Sa...

Would expect a team something like (depending on availability): Stevens Ahmed - Stickland - Burns - Garcia (Ryan) Sackey - Elliott - Spencer Camara - Ehibhatiomhan - Doyle Would play Dorsett and O'Connor at CB if either or both are available. Wouldn't be surprised if we played someone like Fraser or...

Anyone go to the Former Players' Q&A with Rob (and Todd) last night? Thought it was really good, Rob can certainly talk. 76 years old, but still sharp as a tack. Didn't backdown from any question, and Ady chucked a couple of trickyish ones at him. Loved his anger at the media for not properly c...

There's a few you'd want to get out on loan to play regular first team football IMO - Ahmed; Sackey; Spencer and Tuma all spring to mind as those you'd want playing first team football this season. For the record, the outfield qualifying players for the EFL Trophy (notwithstanding anyone who started...

We don’t seem to have a thread for it this season, but my back of a fag packet table (based purely on vibes and no analysis of transfers, etc.) prediction is: ⋅ Huddersfield ⋅ Luton ⋅ Stockport ⋅ Cardiff ⋅ Bolton ⋅ Plymouth ⋅ Blac...

also, a great find some years ago was the Ipswich forum site as they store all English league tables after each game. so you pick a league, then select date range, and you can see how a table looked at any earlier point in the season you want https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:league-...
