Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted August 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) "Fleetwood Town eh. Well there's a phrase I never thought I'd see appearing on the big sign "Next game: Fleetwood Town". Well, not without it being a Cup game" "Ahh, we've already arrived at this stage have we ,Sir?" "What stage?" "The conceited stage, Sir, where you start talking about these tiny clubs, and how you can't believe that massive Wednesday are having to play them in the football League. Sir" "Not at all! There'll be no tin-pot comments from me! These clubs are where they are on merit. Or in our case , lack of it! Anyway, what do we know about them?" "We know they have reformed a lot" "Reformed?" "They started off as Fleetwood in 1908" "Yes..." "Then in 1928 they became Fleetwood Windsor Villa" "They should have kept that one!" "They were then Fleetwood Town" "Right ho, lets crack on" "I haven't finished, Sir. They then , eventually, settled on Fleetwood Wanderers" "Hang on, I thought they were Fleetwood Town again?!" "They're known as Fleetwood Town" "Fleetwood Wanderers , but known as Town, it sounds like a fiddle somewhere down the line that does! You get that down here you know. It's all a bit tin-po.." "Sir!" "Sorry. Sorry." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday -V- Fleetwood Town Hillsborough Kick off: 745pm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday Owls Boss Darren Moore may make changes to the side which beat Doncaster on Saturday. The owls have another derby game on Saturday against Rotherham and the Owls supremo may rest players with the games now coming thick and fast and many of his players arriving at the club with no pre-season to speak of. Lee Gregory maybe given some game time to sharpen up, and Jaden Brown is pushing for a recall after a good cameo against Rovers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fleetwood Town Fleetwood manager Simon Grayson has a relatively small squad to pick from and says he is pleased with their general play. The only possible change on the cards is Jay Matete coming in for Sheffield born Harrison Biggins. The Cod Army are still looking for their first win of the season. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited August 16, 2021 by Lord Snooty 13 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another merry go round manager who still finds work (Kudos to his Huddersfield team for beating the dark side at Wembley though!) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Poor sods their only honour 2004–05, promotion out of the Northern Premier League First Division Not even as champions. They do however have the longest trip to their home games having moved into Highbury after Arsenal moved out. This is why they're not doing so well as a 60K stadium is such a drain on resources and IAG Islington Advisory Group only allow attendance maximums of 5,400. Manager has a bit of a name:- Simon Grayson. If Fleetwoodians can't get to Highbury or their away game the Fleetwood tram travels directly to Stargate which is over the road to Bloomfield. This is quite handy for those who prefer awfull Fish and chips probably the worst in the country. Shell fish from one of the longest tide ingresses in the UK, Morcambe Bay were in days gone by great fayre. The Shrimp and Prawn still taste good to eat off the little plates quite handy to eat at night in the dark as the prawns and shrimps glow pale green as the Radio Active discharge from BNFL at Barrow has found it's way into the food chain. Let us hope that Fleetwood Town are Shrimps there for the taking, I got the 2-0 right on Saturday I'm going for 3-0 later today.

WalthamOwl Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Brilliant OP as always. Fleetwood lost their opening 2. Got to hope we get the 3 points again tonight. Would like to see Gregory and Corbeanu start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 First game of season for me today. Can't wait! Hoping for a win and will take what ever we can get but hoping to see 3 goals and another clean sheet. I'd be tempted to rest Hutch, he's gonna be very important and don't want him getting injured. Would like to see Brown back in the line up too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see Brown back in the line up too. Likewise, I think Hutch could and should be rested tonight. Let’s see what our new left-footed Gibson looks like with Iorfa. That said, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Dom’s achilles rested instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed this isn't going to be one of those "with you forever now issues".... Iorfa is so important in our recovery 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
