Yes all a bit grim but at least we arenโt watching Shrewsbury .... Actually, since the trees have been cut down, from the viewing point at Queenswood on Dinmore, you can actually see half the Shrewsbury pitch. You can't even see the floodlights from top Darwin centre. [br Nah your looking slightly in the wrong direction as our floodlights are along the roof line of each stand like in all modern grounds,rather than 4 big pylons like you get in old grounds....ooopps ๐ What you are looking at is The Racecourse ground in Wrexham,they apparently have the tallest pylons in the world,or so Ryan Reynolds has been telling everyone.

Alvin Martin remains the only player to score a hat-trick against three different goal keepers in a single match. The defender achieved the feat playing for West Ham against Newcastle in 1986. His first goal came against Martin Thomas, who was an actual keeper, but was forced off with injury. Martin then scored against defender Chris Hedworth, who also injured himself meaning Peter Beardsley was next.

I was at the game in which Chris Pike actually did manage that feat. Carnage.
Iโm sure the highlights are out there somewhere.

Back on topic:
1. Hereford United disappearing without trace.
2. The successor 'phoenix club' displaying every sign of being in danger of repeating the feat. But, and this really is quite weird, managing to do it less than ten years since inception.
Them's the weird things/facts as I see it.

I wonder how many times a club can go โpopโ, reform in a blaze of subsequently misplaced optimism, and have several relatively glorious years before going โpopโ again? And if the answer is โlotsโ, is there some some sort of law of diminishing returns where the initial optimism lessens unexponentially, and the โpopโism occurs sooner? Inevitably leading to the multi previously named club (each name being more unpopular than the previous one) disappearing into a space time singularity, leaving a barely molecular trace of broken aspirations and disused particles of unsold Club memorabilia.

If you're wondering if it's all fecked, I think the answer is 'probably, yes'. However, as Barney might say, 'other opinions, etc.'. ๐

No, sorry that comment was born out of ignorance and was from a time when I wasn't the same person as I am now. I have developed a great deal of life experience since that post and terribly regret ever having posted it.
I am so sorry to everyone who I have let down.

Morecambe were founded in 1920. Today they got relegated from League One. This is the first relegation the club has ever suffered.

When Shrewsbury Town played at Gay Meadow they used to employ a man in a coracle to retrieve the balls that had been hoofed into the nearby River Teme.
That same man now stands in Church Stretton high street every Saturday to retrieve balls hoofed out of the nearby Montgomery Wafers Meadow stadium.

I think the only time the ball was ever in danger of reaching the river Teme was when GT was hoofing it; it would normally have an opposition player with it to keep it company on its travels.

Also strange but true, Grimsby are one of only two Football League clubs who don't play in the town they represent. The other, of course, is Shrewsbury Town. Oh dear๐ That was quite funny when it was written all those years ago but that was a long time ago when you all supported a FL team called Hereford United. You obviously haven't been anywhere near the ground since then have you? In reality why would you need to? Since then there's been 2 supermarkets,a garden centre and a new pub just about to open plus several hundred new houses as the town is expanding out to the bypass in all directions Meanwhile our attendances are averaging 6500 per match, 2500 away fans off to Derby on Saturday, and we are playing our 8th consecutive season in L1, only Fleetwood have been here longer. Mock all you like,and I appreciate that this is your forum,but I would rather be where we are than where you are,no manager,no chairman and no idea who is pulling the strings at your club Yeah but no but yeah butโฆ.

I went to Gay Meadow many times.
I don't remember it being in Ludlow.
