We thought we were.
Look at Coventry's record since going back to the Ricoh.
1st game back
Fri 5th Sept Ricoh v Gillingham W 2-1 att 27,306
Sat 13th Sept Ricoh v Yeovil W 1-0 att 11,085
Lost away to Scunthorpe and Dale
Sat 27th Sept Ricoh v Preston L 0-2 att 10,006
Sat 4th Oct Ricoh v Crawley D 2-2 att 7,708
Not sure they can be much of a force on those attendances. (Double ours of course!!) Only if they had got somewhere near the first game back.
Hardly fickle, as Gaz has said, for these Coventry fans it's happening all over again.

At the time of reading, one post.
There were five ejections apparently.
Switch to linear mode on their forum, there are four.

Have your trips to "FC" helped you master Mancunian?
I'd nasally say that's correct.

Pay what you can afford day, also if you pay full price you can get a free drink or pie etc.

Would a trip to the zoo help?
If it meant generally associating in another language - yes. I'd imagine that it'd would be more beneficial to children; incorporating fun with learning.

We're after moving to Spain at some point in the future.
My daughter is worried about not being able to speak Spanish.
We've told her she'll be surrounded by Spanish kids at school and, therefore, will be fluent & teaching us after 6 to 12 months.
Have we got this theory terribly wrong?
Although I'm not sure about the time-frame, it's regarded that immersion is the best way to learn a language.
I'm currently learning Italian and I'm doing quite well, however I know I'd be doing damn sight better if I was in Italy.

never watch a game at headingley in their 'main stand' it consists of peeking through stations for 80 minutes, stiff neck
...although it's convenient for trains.

That's it. If I ever start a band, it's being called Quorn Wellington.
Don't they play in the Midland Football Alliance?

Pfft. Buffalo don't even have wings. I call bull:censored:.

turns out the clubs I were thinking of were Blackpool Mechanics, Squires Gate & Blackpool Wren Rovers. Two of whom play on same street and the other around the corner. And from what I can gather there was some kind of merger, or maybe there wasnt - anyway, they're not AFC Fylde
I know I have an awful lot of superfluous stuff knocking about in my head but the Blackpool non league scene must be right up there in the top rank
Mechanics are AFC Blackpool now - lovely little ground. Squires Gate are definitely still in operation, not sure about Wren Rovers.
-
ah right, I was under the impression Fylde were a merger of a couple of non league teams in Blackpool - names escape me at the moment but they play(ed) on the same road as each other. Now I see I was wrong in that assumption. Something in the water up there these days - Blackpool had a go at the Prem, Fleetwood rolling in it, Morecambe in the league as well. Hotbed!
They are a new club - technically Kirkham Town and Wesham FC merged to form Kirkham and Wesham FC in the eighties, then became Fylde in 2007/08. If anybody manages to get to Fylde, check out the portakabin with sliding patio doors, that's where the silver service is - nicely separated from the proles. The Birley at the end of the road does cracking fish and chips, mind.

Did this meeting happen?
Not seen any minutes, no details of next meeting. I asked on the facebook page over a month ago but nothing happened.
Nobody is on their backs, the pressure is off.

Eisern Union.

ಠಿ_ಠ
...and with that - close.

Free union membership?
...and the half-price lentil and three-bean soup is second only to that made in the kitchens of farmhouses in the Kolkhoz.

I was talking to someone yesterday who's involved in the running of a Ryman League side, apparently it's not uncommon for the good players to earn £500 a week.
Perhaps in the Isthmian, I don't know. Anecdotal evidence suggests NPLPD Level 7 is around £200-250 for a decent playing wage. Salford at Level 8 (NPL1st) are paying more than double that, maybe triple. Some clubs in the same division have complete playing budgets that are less than £1000.
EDIT:
I suppose it's entirely possible that the playing budget to be spunked on one or two decent players, or pros, whilst the rest of the team are on non-contract £25 pound a game affairs.

Thought so. Batman.

If Gary Neville et al are trying to build a club through the `grass roots', why sell half of it to a Singaporean billionaire from the other side of the world after only six months? They can't need the investment, they are all millionaires already – David Beckham, for instance, is worth an estimated £200million. Surely a club four tiers below the Football League, run by volunteers, doesn't need a billionaire's `investment'? -

are there any recommendations for free anti virus for windows 8. thanks in advance
Try Avast. I use it and never had any problems.
-
Who did Dulwich play was it a promo or is that there current average?
Averaging 700 at home for a step 7 team - which is excellent, that particular weekend was Non-League Day and they may have had something on to boost it.
-
I think the investors have got an eye on Moor Lane for development, which logically puts the Ammies in the AJ Bell Stadium. It's all wealth driven - Danny Webber is purportedly on anything up to 800 clams a week, for a step 8 team that pulls 200 fans per game - that's immense and instantly puts them in the lower-league B team feeder bracket for big United. Hyde would be something similar if it wasn't for Scott McNiven making a right arse of it.
Also, coming to a league ground near you - AFC Fylde and North Ferriby...
EDIT:
Salford home attendances in chronological order:

Nobody drafted these groups in but they was welcomed with open arms and it wasn't a PR stunt everybody was welcome from all walks of life too stand for that they believed in and that wasn't about getting pissed outside Greggs
Not everything your read from HopeNotHate is true, I'm sure I'd be able to find you interviewers and blogs from these "kermit sections" as you colourfully described them but I have a feeling that you've allready made your mind up and I'd be wasting my time
They got to you too huh? How many years did you waste in car parks singing "no surrender"? Which group are you in now?

They are pissed off. My Skyblues mate says they've had real issues from day one. Attendance for their first game back was inflated as they were getting about 10K at home the last full season at the Ricoh, this SISU thing has still :censored:ing stinking, the fans have been messed about with stands or areas being shut down, they have had major problems with ticketing (season tickets in particular) - I'm sure Oldham fans can relate to much of that.
Now the Wasps developnent of course, perhaps their attendances may suffer even more.
