I always feel like Gretna in Scotland are the model for the Vince/post Vince world.
Gloucester are in our league (NLN), went shit or bust with the budget to go for promotion last year only for it to get announced nobody was going up, were relegation candidates up until February this season.

Stroud is batshit crazy, was the centre of UK LSD production for years and is now so vehemently anti-vaxx I managed to get my booster by booking the day before when there was a 2 week waiting list everywhere else.

yeah Gretna were quite contentious and hated by some Scottish football fans. I learnt this from ILX after years of wrongly thinking they might have had some broad novelty appeal ... what with the freescoring doctor and that.

Poor old Cobblers, eh?
I am mildly disappointed about missing out on the L2 title on goal difference, really only because Saturday night in Exeter would have been a proper laugh if we'd done it. Promotion was always the main thing. Saying that, there's a photo going around of an EFL branded arch saying CHAMPIONS sitting unused behind one of our stands, I confess to finding that a bit upsetting.

Seeing Argyle crash out of the L1 playoff placess to Franchise, 0-5 at home, only to see Franchise limply surrender to dirty old Wycombe in the playoff semi, is a small footballing joy.
― Tim, Monday, 9 May 2022 12:50 (one year ago) link
it was a great feeling when we dumped Franchise out the L1 playoffs semis, despite losing the home leg 2-1. It was even sweeter that they had dirty cheating ex-L66ds barsteward Alan Smith being the pantomime bell end in both games.

just saw a clip of Nathan Jones suggesting Town paid big money for free-transfer players and even mentioning Hogg, who we got for pennies nearly a decade ago because he hated living in the south. Lol, Town even missed out on Luton's top striker, Elijah Adebayo because our chairman baulked at the price and they outbid us. If I was a Luton manager playing dubious underdog mind games I'd mention what a shithole Kenilworth Road is. They are only the underdogs in the sense that Corberan is a much smarter and more likable manager on a learning trajectory that will take him to a top job at some point. Regardless of Monday's result.

their long winning run after losing 5-6 games on the bounce with Hughton started at our place, but then we had a classic 1-0 against the run of play smash and grab at their place and then got beaten by them in the cup. I fucking hate them tbh and am not confident we could beat them again this season. I hope the Blades have an against the odds turnaround against them tomorrow.

we got done by a BALD ref doing his last big gig, the replay and VAR showed there was contact on Tofollo but BALD overruled, and that was just one of the shit decisions that went against Town. But I'm not really that arsed tbh. The last time was only fun for about 6 games and it took us nearly two seasons to get rid of all the overpaid garbage players, fuck the prem tbh.

Don't let your internalised baldhate blind you! But aye, dreadful ref. Retiring to run a record shop called 'Vinyl Whistle' which, jesus.

the only two playoff finals (I think out of 6 now) I have not gone to with my step-dad and my brother in the last 30 years are the only ones Town have lost. I only turn up for the wins!
