Wigan Administration
(Preview)
Slightly out of the blue but Wigan have just announced they have gone into administration and are looking for new owners to buy the club. Not sure where it leaves them regarding points deductions and if it would come into effect this season or the start of next.

Big Grounds - help?

Been thinking that clubs like ours could use the bigger clubs grounds for him matches and get all supporters in. If we use NYS we can only get 3 or 4 thousand in but if we could use Bramall Lane we could get 10 thousand in with adequate social distancing. Clearly a lot to sort out but of the bigger clubs want s...

Get a new manager. Lamy gone & offering Jones & Price new contracts. It's beyond reason. Can't run a football club on being good in the dressing room. Goes on ability especially now we're in the championship. Wouldn't surprise me with this manager if we extend McDonald's contract & get t...

League One Playoffs

Any thoughts about who we want to win them - assuming they happen. Personally, I dont want Fleetwood to do it. Nasty man in charge. I've got nothing against Portsmouth but on the basis that they might have the clout to compete in the league above and we need three to finish above next season, they are the o...

Seriously, how can they even manage the playoffs?
(Preview)
Given that clubs furloughed staff and are completely unprepared for a resumption of the season - just how are they going to manage it before the next one has to be planned? Aren't the fixtures for next season published in June? It would take at least 4 weeks to get anyone even close to match fit - maybe mor...

I'm looking at it this way. The government say they are paying people to stop at home for 3 months that brings us to June 20th. Can't see football returning before then at least. Harry Kane says this season needs to be scrapped if it can't finish for the end of June there needs to be a point when enough is eno...

I don't know how we stand with refunds, although I don't imagine many would be bothered about losing a few quid,what about any refunds are passed onto the Rotherham Hospice charity which are going to struggle in the present climate. Just a suggestion.

Championship behind closed doors
(Preview)
If we go up (we should) I wonder how we will fair playing championship clubs behind closed doors? Sometimes I think we got a bit of stage fright with the big grounds and crowds but will be a different matter when no fans - no home advantage anymore and interested to see how that impacts the players.

Jimmy Goodfellow RIP

Very sad news that Jimmy Goodfellow passed away overnight after a long illness. A good servant to RUFC. Probably under-rated as a player. More importantly, a true gentleman. RIP Jim. -- Edited by smiler on Wednesday 22nd of April 2020 11:17:55 AM
