Monoclinic 39 Posted May 6, 2008 Exeter and Chelsea will be the only two teams who have played at the new Wembley twice. and Portsmouth & Cardiff City, surely? Maybe just Cardiff City and West Brom. I am thinking of taking a little inspiration from xperteleven and sending over that drinks salesman to Fratton Park, just before the big day, so that West Brom have to take their place.

Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted May 11, 2008 Bollocks. I was going to cheer Cardiff on anyway next week, but now I have an added reason for doing so. Pathetic bunch of sailor f***kers. Credit to Fulham though, that, as much as it pains me to say it, was a brilliant escape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 11, 2008 Been there and know the pain of relegation OoO. In fact, the Premiership is just about the only league Carlisle haven't dropped from. It was Divsion One when they tumbled out in 1975. I'm keeping a keen eye on Barrow's play-off campaign as they try to revive their Blue Square status. (We'll assume for the sake of convenience that the Blue Square Premiership is the same league as the Conference in which Barrow have played out some campaigns). It'll be interesting to see how many of the Barrovian Hordes journey to Torquay and - maybe - Exeter next season if Barrow make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminator 13 Posted May 11, 2008 Bollocks. I was going to cheer Cardiff on anyway next week, but now I have an added reason for doing so. Pathetic bunch of sailor f***kers. Credit to Fulham though, that, as much as it pains me to say it, was a brilliant escape. I agree, it was all in Fulham's hands and, despite them being "Premiership fodder". the way they dug themselves out of their particular relegation hole was amazing! This may well now consolidate them in the Premiership for the foreseeable future (ie wot with yo-yo-ing teams playing fleeting visits to the Premiership). Personally, I am rooting (oo-er) for Cardiff in the Cup Final. Or am I stating the bleeting obvious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be interesting to see how many of the Barrovian Hordes journey to Torquay and - maybe - Exeter next season if Barrow make it. I'd like to see Barrow make it and even if they were to bring two fans along to Exeter, they'd beat Farsley Celtic's and Leigh RMI's best efforts. Altrincham look like they're going to escape relegation from the Blue Square for the third year in a row, because another club (this time Halifax) have been relegated because of financial problems. I'm pleased to see that two clubs owned by their fans, FC United and AFC Wimbledon have both managed promotion this year, here's hoping Exeter make that three clubs next week.

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted May 12, 2008 Been there and know the pain of relegation OoO. In fact, the Premiership is just about the only league Carlisle haven't dropped from.

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted May 15, 2008 I'm confused. I thought Carlisle fans always invade the pitch after their last home game of the season, yet tonight that didn't happen. Tough luck MPFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted May 16, 2008 Confirmed A great shame. Looks like Gretna next... From the article ... "Halifax Town have today finally confirmed that they are no longer a proffessional club, after being kicked out of the Conference." "It is the third consecutive season that Altrincham have been relegated only to be saved in the league by other clubs' fisfortunes." Not very proffessional.

Stewarding like I haven't seen for years at Brunton Park and enough police on hand to suggest the rest of the county could have been burgled with impunity. Not a lot of love between both sets of supporters last night. Also some need to protect Paul Huntington, Carlisle born Leeds player who made 'gestures' at the Blue Army in the first match. We DID invade the pitch for the last home game of the point scoring season against Bournemouth, mind. Many CUFC fans applauded the travelling support from the south coast. Not much applause for the travelling support last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,655 Posted May 16, 2008 The result Doncaster Rovers 5 vs Southend 1 Think it's a bit premature to assume Leeds will just brush Donny aside on Sunday week. The tempting prospect of Rochdale vs Leeds United on the opening day of the new League One season is alive and well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted May 16, 2008 Think it's a bit premature to assume Leeds will just brush Donny aside on Sunday week. I never thought I would read such a sentence, never mind agree with it. Leeds v Doncaster with Doncaster favourites and Peter Ridsdale in the FA Cup Final. There ain't no justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted May 17, 2008 Spare a thought for Steve King, manager of Lewes FC, who got his team promoted as champions of the Blue Square South this season. His reward? The sack for being "too successful" Club director Kevin Powell: One thing I think is important is that at no time has Steve King been asked to get us promotion...He's created the problem, if you like - and I don't mean this in a negative way - because he's been so successful."
