After the abuse he has been given on here over recent years, it would be interesting to see if they are fickle and suddenly love him when he wears their colours, or if they stay away in protest. 🤔 I remember Olle Nygren, being Wimbledon captain, was enemy no.1 at my team, West Ham. We then signed him up and he became a hero for the Hammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Ipswich supporters have had far bigger concerns this close season than worrying about a rider they may or may not particularly like lining up for us! Wayne needs to read the room here. The only thing that currently matters is confirmation that the club is still actually running. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you would want as many people aware as soon as possible to generate interest and sell season tickets (its called promoting!).The BSPL are happy to post anything on their website which they think might come across as positive (although some things are so trivial it makes you wonder who is that bothered), so why is everybody still waiting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Northampton whoever takes that on is going to need uber deep pockets and not blink at writing off six figures at the end of year one, really hope I'm wrong but its got financial disaster written all over it. Will need another Tolley type who can just write out cheques every month to cover the losses without worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB1 Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 We must be running out of coffee for people to wake up and smell! It's 5 teams at most. There isn't going to be a sixth team unless someone with more money than sense has lost their marbles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phannan Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 5 teams or 6 teams ? Does it really make a difference either way. It’s still gonna provide the same repetitive mind numbing meetings with no prestige in success at the seasons end , especially if you achieve it while finishing second or third bottom of the league before the playoffs. Same old same old. Glasgow or Poole top the second division. Probably Poole. No wonder Arry turned his back … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question? Where are the most likely sites which are actually realistic to be ready in time, bearing in mind it's just under 4 months until the season starts and absolutely nothing is known, not even any rumours leaked...
