Not a great decade the '80s.

Seen it before. It's horrifying stuff. Fire is not to be messed with, the way it spread so rapidly is scary as ****.

Valley Parade had been condemned previously for being unsafe. The grandstand was all wood with plenty of chip cups and general rubbish thrown under it. That's why it went up in flames so quickly - it should never have been hosting games at the time but safety of fans in the 80's was not considered important by the authorities unfortunately.

Interesting in light of a few clubs in England pushing for 2nd teams.

 

[Buckleys Jocks]

United won the title by playing over 21's most weeks and even bought a 23 year old back from a loan spell to play the last few months in the U21's.

Are you talking about Will Keane? If so that is a massive stretch. Keane was bought back from his loan to provide cover for the first team due to our injury issues and he suffered a season ending injury of his own in February.

on academies, brentford are closing theirs after 3 years. all the player will become available.

Fair enough I stand corrected. Was sure I saw him playing for United at the tail end.

He definitely played a significant role in the U21's though. Only 24 minutes in the senior team, and taken away from Preston where he was playing senior football.

That's true but he was definitely in line to play more had he not got injured. Terrible luck for him but if that didn't happen then Rashford probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to break out and we'd likely be a lot worse off right now.

2016/17 will be the last Adidas Chelsea kit. We've bought out the rest of the contract.

No word yet on who we're going with instead.

They were discussing how City fans have every right to walk out on their club's last home game because City fans have better things to do.


Don't know why everyone's talking about it...

I think they bought out Umbro, took their best contracts and sold the business on. Not sure who owns them and who they supply kits for any more but Umbro kits are the best.
