Its same for everyone though, teams end up where they are on merit and nothing else.... Having traditionally big clubs doesn't necessarily make it harder....
Reminds of the old, "what weighs more, a ton of bricks, or a ton of feathers".....

Think it was 1958 we last won there. Certainly not seen a win there in my supporting days - plenty of defeats sadly. Seen us play them away at The Valley, Selhurst Park and Upton Park and never win at any of them, since they’ve played us at Eastville, Twerton and The Mem this must be up there as one of the head to head confrontations involving the most home grounds? Brighton might’ve topped it but I don’t think we played them when they were exiled at Gillingham so I think they equal it. We played Charlton away at 'the mount' in Catford during their one and only season there in 23/24 (1st march 24) coming out 3-1 winners, so thats 7 different home venues. Eastville, Twerton, Mem - Valley, Mount, Upton, Selhurst. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mount_(stadium)Rotherham is a 6: Eastville,Twerton, Mem - Millmoor, Don Valley, New York. Brighton is a potential 6 if we play at Falmer. This made me look into fixtures between Charlton and Brighton. Valley, Mount, Upton, Selhurst - Goldstone, withdean, Falmer, which is also 7 So if we ever build a new ground we should have that record sorted as far as I can tell, unless anyone can think of a higher figure.

Ayunga could be a very good prospect, the next Devon White? Hanlon has to stop the falling over annoys me to death! Neither are really at a stage of their career to be in the deep end that they find themselves at this time. Devon White? He was a complete andd utter donkey. That went on to score 9 goals in his only top flight season....

Strangely thats 10 pts from those 10 games, which ties up nicely with our current total of 34 from 34.... So we are pretty much worth a point a game against anyone on average.... With the way things are going, taking into account how bad some of the teams are down the bottom, 46 points from 46 games *may* be just enough to squeeze out league one safety. It would probably come down to the final day though and I don’t think my heart can take another one of the those after the agony and ecstasy of Mansfield and Dagenham respectively. Especially as history seems to suggest that if we are in a relegation battle with a couple of games left it never goes well for us....

I don’t think we did , it was an even game with chances for both sides but poor finishing and good goalkeeping kept it 0-0. We no more deserved to win than them so a draw a fair result, feels like a defeat though with tough games coming up. Fair enough, for me we had the best/most chances overall. If their flurry of 15 minutes at the end was at the beginning of the game, we'd have forgotten about it and we frustrated at dropping 2 points. One of those ones where because we could/should have lost it at the end, a draw seems a good result - but over the full 90 I think we were better. But hey ho, our record against the bottom is shocking this season and could well be our downfall. Maybe its a good thing we dont have many 6 pointers left? Northampton W Burton D Rochdale D Swindon L Wigan D Wombles W Rochdale L Wigan L Burton L Wombles D Strangely thats 10 pts from those 10 games, which ties up nicely with our current total of 34 from 34.... So we are pretty much worth a point a game against anyone on average....

Beer garden in the car park at the Mem.... That would be the difinitive beer car park.... I can't see that happening....
Joking aside, reopening bars is only worth it when regular / reliable income is back, so next august for us I would think....

Dont think he has any choice but to change personnel, we make 1/2 mistakes a game and it always costs us a goal.I hate watching as its like a horror film you know there's something nasty about to happen and it inevitably does. A quick look at sofa score statistics, Hull 2 shots on target = 2 goals Burton 5 shots on target = 2 goals Wigan 3 shots on target = 2 goals Gillingham 3 shots on target = 2 goals You do realise that goals aren't counted as shots on target in match stats.... They're counted as goals....

I only came back to ban him. He seems intent on ruining every match thread. Take this as a final warning. Free speech. Say it as I see it.Sorry if I don't rate a player that can't control a football. He would make playing on a snooker table look like performing on a ploughed field That analogy has got me scratching my head....
