he built a footballing side to get out of the national league, football gets you nowhere in lge 2
Having spent a few seasons watching League Two football at Pompey....
I know where you are coming from - there are some robustly built teams in League Two - but the three who went up last year all played decent football.

The standard in League One is another big step up from League Two.

Is anyone on the forum in contact with the White family?

I wanted to pass on my condolences on the death of their son Ian. Ian was in my class at school.  A few of us got to go with him to the Everton up game on the directors coach. Great day.
I remember Ian ('Chalky' at school of course) playing for the school first team. He was a classy centre-half (in the days before classy centre-halves) with one of the fiercest shots I ever remember seeing.  

Very sorry to hear he has passed away.
 
 


I've sent you an email containing some contact details for Noel White.


Thanks very much for that.

The club is responding to the FAs request / demand. They've said they are taking it seriously. If they said anything else it would invite further action from the FA. What they have done is the best they can do to avoid further action against the club.
I'd say the statement is more for the FA than for the supporters. If they said anything else it would attract negative publicity. 
If the FA decide to fine the club without any clear evidence that Alty fans were involved that is the time for us to look for a different response from the club.

There was a piece about him in the Guardian on Thursday. Alty got a passing mention.

Nice to see a Premiership footballer on there. I guess he's busy most Saturdays so he'll be desperate to get his fix via Alty TV.

First time I've seen those.

Good cross and header for our first goal. Poor defending for theirs.

Our penalty was blatant, two footed from behind by the keeper, he can have no complaints.

Unsure what their penalty was for? Looks like our man trapped the ball and their striker went sprawling over a leg that was controlling the ball? Poor decision.
Exactly what I said about their penalty on radio robins live at the time, without the benefit of any replays. It was that obvious, and I couldn't believe it when the referee pointed to the spot. There was no evening up to be done, either. That would imply some doubt about our award, when there was none whatsoever. Shocking decision.
Not saying you are wrong but the penalised Alty player made no appeal at all. Others did but he just walked away.I know it's circumstantial but it's human nature to complain at least a bit if you think you have been wrongly penalised - especially at that point in the game.

Red shorts and red socks. 60's style. I'd like to see a couple of comb-overs too.

i think the jury had no option but to find the fans blameless,they had to answer the question,do you think the fans were to blame,so they had to answer No because the 96 that died were blameless,there should have been a question do you think that the fans that turned up without tickets contributed to the problems,in which case i think the answer would have been yes

There almost certainly were fans without tickets as there were and still are at every big match and there were almost certainly touts outside selling tickets as there always were.
The issue was the control /  policing of those crowds of people outside which was very predictable. You can't blame the fans for the police / ground supervisors or whoever deciding to let those people into the ground with tragic results.
If you were outside a ground with or without a ticket, the match about to start, and a gate was opened by people in a position of responsibility would you have gone in or walked away?

You can't get away from the fact that decision and the subsequent response by the authorities contributed by far the most to the deaths. That would be bad enough if it were just a series of tragic errors of judgement but they then tried to cover it up and were aided and abetted by the press.

There also seems to be a difference in the degree to which the FA is being held responsible. In the article it quotes a league spokesman who states "the FA should have identified this issue earlier.  Had it done so, this breach of regulations would never have occurred."

In the James Robinson case my recollection is that the club were held fully responsible for checking that he had international clearance - even though he'd been signed from an English club and they (Accrington) had failed to complete the paperwork.

Nice of lincoln to blame the pitch, he had 2 opportunities to clear that
Quite. If he'd tried to clear it first time and had miss-kicked it due a bobble that might be fair but the happened well before it got to him and he clearly deliberately flicked it up. And then made a complete horlicks of it.

Leamington, Cheltenham, Leamington.
Possibly the most middle class sequence of fixtures ever.
