I don't think BC1982 have been concerned about BRFC's promotion to the second division since they sabotaged DC's best season by buying his goalscorer. GC's promotion challenge was always overstated, built as it was on good fortune. I would really hate to return to the fourth division, but this is more likely than BC1982's return to the third. BRFC'd have to be promoted to play BC1982 in the league again soon. BG'd have to start winning games.

However, changing manager to BG before we had the chance to find out what GC (whom I never liked) could really have achieved, was abominable. Whatever went on behind the scenes to encourage GC's departure was a shoddy move. |

If gerry francis,darrell clarke[2],bert tann,paul trollope and don megson had fu***d off in january we might have fallen away and not got promoted but they stayed and got promotion done.
Maybe this or that might have happened does not count as a promotion on your managerial record.

I may be old fashioned but I find it impossible to imagine Bert Tann “fu***** off” at any time of the year. |

Yes it is a strange one isn’t it? They seem so far ahead of us on so many levels but..... 1. A very good season by us and we could be playing in the same division as them. Or 2. A very bad season by them and we could be playing in the same division as them. Or 3. A very good season by us and a very bad season by them could see us playing in a division above them. Or 4. The status quo remains. All very hypothetical but if someone had said Wycombe would win promotion this season I suspect they’d have been laughed at. Football’s a strange game at times. Not saying it will happen but I have seen stranger things. UTG! You forgot permutation No 5. They have a great season, we continue where we left off from Coughlan's departure and get relegated. They start planning away days at Anfield and Old Trafford, we check the map to see exactly where Harrogate is. Oh come on Bamber - that's a bit far fetched. I reckon most people know where Harrogate is. |

Why certainly. It's in the Kootenay National Park BC. Nearest international airport is Calgary AB.

However, changing manager to BG before we had the chance to find out what GC (whom I never liked) could really have achieved, was abominable. Whatever went on behind the scenes to encourage GC's departure was a shoddy move. The reason I say we would have gone up is as follows: GC's transfer record was very good, he would have had another window to strengthen the squad. There were real similarities to the nature of the 1990 promotion, not so much the quality, but the horrible to play against. No one bloody wanted to go up. Ipswich and Sunderland failed massively, Wycombe almost blew it, Rotherham weren't all that anyway and Cov just fell into top spot, deserved, at the right time. Peterborough really want shooting with their strike force. Especially with lock down I would have been surprised if we had not been there or thereabouts the play off picture at least. That's why. |

Excellent points, mango! I largely agree we would have been in the mix. Fans were talking about it at Ipswich....fact! |

All the evidence would suggest that's a load of duck s***e Not all the evidence, Rex. I remember watching Coughlan's Rovers. I remember feeling lucky to get points. As evidence, I remember analysis here. Many of us were baffled how we got there, Amazed at results and position, Unimpressed by the style of play, Unconvinced by the tactics. I'm too hot to trawl back for evidence. But I remember it. We may have been wrong, but we did testify to perceived fortune and unsustainability of our league position at the time. I suspect we were prejudiced by our dislike for the football (and also the man) but we did write these things. |

Yes those things were said my many.
And still saying it now in that they feel the position would not be maintained.
Slightly immaterial now.
The question now is can Garner and co manage and motivate a team. Can't wait to find out as that will mean somehow there will be football to watch.

It's all immaterial, pal. It's just a silly ball game some of us like to discuss here. Have you something better to do? The question now is can Garner and co manage and motivate a team. I'm going for 'no'. Can't wait to find out as that will mean somehow there will be football to watch. Immaterial as it may be, I agree. |
