I would be interested in hearing about how Cambridge managed to build the buzz about the place that we saw on Sat with a nearly full ground and lots of enthusiastic chanting. It's not like they've been challenging for promotion in recent years and they're another city where residents have other delights to occupy them other than football (possibly it's not rowing season though). Plus similar time on the railway to London as Wycombe. Did they reduce ticket prices? Start marketing locally? Was it just the excitement of appointing a high profile manager? Building a new stand?

Sunderland fans' opinions are to be taken with a pinch of salt. They don't even deserve that to be honest.

They dismissed Scowen and Luke O'Nien. They didn't want Ainsworth as their manager. They ridiculed us and we embarrassed matched them on more than one occasion.

I don't think they have ever accepted any manager since being outside the Premiership because of their "entitled" attitude. They think they are above everyone.

and the reason why the local community and council are so apathetic about their local football team is …..

Sounds like Butcher had a decent game today. 7 out of 10 which is almost guaranteed every week from him.

That's why I liked him. You know what you're getting every single week.

I actually think he's more suited to our system than Bakinson in terms of replacing Morley.

he's

I'm glad you posted this. I thought that too, but I'm such a useless analyst of the game I thought I'd get laughed out of town on here if I mentioned it!

Agreed 100% @glasshalffull my hope is that as we progress up the pyramid the club will experience the same groundswell of excitement that we enjoyed under MO’N. The ground will be full most weeks in The Championship, local media will engage more fully, funds will improve the match day experience and such minor irritants/ excuses as road access etc become a thing of the past.

I for one am very excited by our evolution since the New Year and really looking forward to what the future holds for this great club.

COYB’s!

I always liked the old West Ham song:

'His name is Luděk Mikloško

He comes from near Moscow

He plays in goal for West Ham'

Ludek's birthplace of Prostějov in the Czech Republic is a 1,081 mile drive to Moscow. It's 947 miles from the old Boleyn Ground.

One of the biggest barriers to us emulating a club like Bournemouth is the mystifying negativity of some supporters and the general apathy of the local population towards the club. Believe me, in the wider football community Wanderers are more highly regarded as a well run and progressive club than they are on their own doorstep.

Didn’t we sign George when Bishop was injured leaving us with one senior keeper?
