General Around the leagues

[Didcotox]

I know it can't happen as so many professional clubs are dependant on the bigger teams in Scotland, but Aberdeen, Hibs/Hearts and Celtic/Rangers would be.... interesting to have in the English football system.

Imagine Millwall v Celtic, Plymouth v Aberdeen, Cardiff v Hibs, it would be kind of fascinating.

Would be good to have a British league cup. May be a way of drumming up more interest in it.

It would be awesome, and, financially, presumably very beneficial for the SPL sides?

Reading FC: Wycombe Wanderers and Bradford City games still on despite trio of international call-ups

Reading confirm their League One games with Wycombe and Bradford will go ahead despite the Royals' international call-ups.

Reading not postponing their international break fixtures despite being able to do so - will be interesting to see how that works out for them.

the sectarianism there is alive and well. Sectarian songs and banners never really went away.

Sadly, the sectarianism is alive and well.

Are we saying just within a football fans perspective, or in a Derry/Londonderry during the 80s level of sectarianism?

I've never been to Glasgow so have no idea the wider feeling around protestant/catholic divide up there in 2026. Some other posters might know.

Definitely in a footballing context, it maybe lessened but never completely went away.

It is a massive shame that there's no away allocations and I hope its resolved. But after the violence last season don't see it for a while. A shame.

Certainly in a football sense. Whether that is a bellwether for the local community I don't know.

Can you imagine a strip club in Barnsley? Pregnant women dancing round a poll with a fag in their mouth while their grandchildren sit by the side of the stage with a bottle of pop and a pack of crisps. When do we play them again?

I'm not sure what Blackpool's offering would look like either. Guessing there would be an old man with a greyhound sat in the corner drinking a pint of John Smiths.

That's one league table that I'm quite happy to be bottom of

I was in one in Blackpool on a stag do about 5 years back and one of the women told me she had just become a grandmother again at 39, she was actually a nice women to be fair. Not a story I tell the missus though.

There is one in Aldershot near me, I have always imagined that every girl working there has a squaddy dad she has never met, PTSD once removed, never been though as my missus friend lives in the flats over the road.

Is it common for greyhounds to drink John Smiths up there then?

Not so much now, more likely to find them on spice.

In The Priory (RIP), I once saw a Shrewsbury fan let his dog drink some of his pint which was quite amusing as the dog was quite skilled at doing so. Said fan then downed the last third of that pint which was less pleasant to watch…….

Fixed that for you.

I thought the White Horse was an option for Wycombe but it sadly put its clothes back on, hung up the nipple tassels and closed its doors in 2023.

And now I'm having to delete a fair bit of internet history on a work computer.

Swindon are top of league 2 (12 minutes), quite possibly the same strip club as ours.

Sounds like the Stevenage one except there's only one woman who works there and she's never around.

[Northstandboy]

What!!!

 

[Whingit]

Great signing if they use him properly and sparingly.

 

[werthersoriginal]

What!!!

Well he has got older! Presumably and hopefully he’s not as good as he was

 

[Boris]

Agreed, They should rest him when they play us

 

[Emilio]

What!!!

Had to check this wasn't in a coaching role. Presumed he was long retired.

Wycombe also signed ‘keeper Joe Wildsmith in the past couple of days.
