Official Coca Cola Leagues Thread 07/08

[Matt]

The long trip to face Bristol Rovers in September has been brought forward to the Friday night.

The Memorial Ground clash was originally scheduled for Saturday September 15, but has now been moved to Friday September 14 (7.45) at the request of the police.

United fans now face three lengthy journeys on an evening with the trip to Bournemouth scheduled for Tuesday November 6 and the away clash with Southend set for Tuesday January 29.

The kick-off of the Boxing Day trip to Hartlepool has also been changed at the request of the police.

Kick-off for the Victoria Ground clash has been brought forward from 3pm to 1pm.

For fucks sake I wanted to go to Bristol and Hartlepool, but I can't possibly get to Bristol in 3 1/2 hours even if Google says it's 3hrs 19. And I am not getting up earlier than 10 on Boxing day. Fuck police.

[Dan]

If you come to our place on boxing day, let me know, I'll buy you a beer

I would like to see Hartlepool added to the list just because they made me pay too much for Adam Boyd in an FM game

.

They made us pay too much for him in real life it seems. He's on his way out I beleive to either Swansea or Darlington. Shame he looked alright when he played.

He's not going to Darlington

& Thanks for the cash (Y)

League One

Winners: Nottingham Forest

Promoted: Southend United

Play-Offs: Luton Town, Tranmere Rovers, Swansea, Doncaster Rovers

Relegated: Cheltenham Town, Carlisle, Bournemouth, Northampton Town

That was really hard not picking Bristol Rovers

[Dan]

To be fair, it can happen.

We got to the play-off final then went down.

As did Leeds & a number of other clubs.

Long trip my ass. It's three hours if you go the google way, yeah. But not if you go the BSIG Way! Don't go through Sheffield and DEFINITELY don't go through Birmingham, because you'll just get stuck in traffic. Do this:

Alright, so Manchester isn't the perfect route, but you'll be less likely (at least I think you will) to get stuck anyway through this route.

Cuts journey time down too*.

*Result not proven

By your method though I'd be hitting Manchester at 5, which I imagine is worse than hitting Birmingham at 1/2 6 - which isn't great in itself. Other alternatives are try and get me and both of my mates out of school an hour early or trains, which I imagine will be worse.

[9 to 5]

Champions League: Chelsea & Blackburn Rovers

UEFA Cup: Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Blackburn Rovers

Which is it?

[Matt]

Clearly you're so good they'll let you enter both... You'll then win both.

[Crybaby Bunting]

To be fair, it can happen.

We got to the play-off final then went down.

As did Leeds & a number of other clubs.

[Matt]

Not really, we just vastly over-achieved and then sold/lost the only players doing well for us.

[IAceI]

I never said it couldn't happen :-\

I was just interested in why he thought it would happen.

[Jam]

Leeds to Bristol is 3 hours easy. I live in Worcester which is an hour north of Bristol and 2 hours away from Leeds. Suppose rush hour traffic may factor in that but if you clear Birmingham by 5 you should be safe

[Matt]

Seeing as I couldn't really set off before 4, there's no way I'd get to Birmingham by 5.

Got a feeling that we're gonna go up this year from the Championship, or at least make the playoffs. We've made some interesting signings, although its gonna be a bit hit and miss i think. Sergio Hellings looks like he could be a hell of a talent, while N'Gotty will add to our defense. Should be a good season all around!

[9 to 5]

Why are you so confident about Rovers BSIG? I don't even think anyone on the mong (Rovers official) board have that high hopes for us!
