    Real Bedford have significant investment from “tech bro” types including the Winklevoss brothers (who successfully sued Zuckerberg over Facebook) so might be a tricky match…

    Wonder if he’ll bottle it and put an extra keeper on the bench and only play one up front in a home game he has to win 🤔

    Fair play to the Winklevoss brothers (same for Wrexham owner’s)for taking such a lower level team, much more fun than taking over an established higher league side, Imo.
    Still don’t get it mind but that goes for any owner who doesn’t have a lifelong affiliation with any team.

    …just think ,if Callum Roberts had been fit for the full season when Jimmy was in charge, the history of our club probably would have had a completely different outcome?

    Jimmy would probably have played him as a WB. Completely out of his depth at our level.

    Congratulations Jimmy and Spalding for achieving your promotion.

    Is Butler classed as a bottler for playing a goalie on the bench with 3 defenders as well Ironawe?
    Probably our worse bench of the season yesterday, guess ever the optimist Butler thought we’d need to defend late on, if only we defended in the first few minutes.
    Rochdale didn’t have a reserve goalie on their bench!

    That ‘late penalty equaliser’ wasn’t quite as late as it might appear; over fifteen minutes’ stoppage time was played in the second half.

    Just saw that Tom Pugh played for Spalding in the final. Some still think he’s “one that got away”.

    Bloody hell Northhumbiron back on this thread on the 13th of April we were both on about the Chester manager on whether the board would change their stance on moving him on.
    He’d already had moved on!
    Are you sure your mate is a Chester fan lol.
    Just seen Phil Parkinson has got the job.

    For the true Jimmy D obsessives out there…

    Can’t say I’ve watched it myself, but found it posted elsewhere online.
