Surely they can't be as snug as the away end at Kenilworth Road?
Luton is like siting in your front room in comparison. Honestly.

Not sure if I'm surprised at this decision or not, but it sounds like the "mutual consent" thing is genuine in this case. David Wagner will always be a Huddersfield legend though. Mark Hudson will be in charge for our easily winnable game at the weekend. Expecting us to be linked with all the usual suspects including Big Sam, but can't see him coming here and risking his record. Even though he's an ex-player I wouldn't want a crook like him in charge.Huddersfield Town manager, David Wagner has left the club by mutual consent.

If Allardyce comes in, I'll be leaving my seat unoccupied for the rest of the season. I don't think he would though, too much of a gamble for his CV.Dial A for Allerdyce

If we were 9 points adrift in the 4th division I'd agree with you, but at this level I'd rather not sell out to the Big Sam B*** S***.Not another football stylist! Most football is crap and few can play like Barcelona! I would take pragmatic survival over fancy dan relegation any day

My objection is less with the style of football (prior to Wagner, the most entertained I've been watching Town was under Neil Warnock), more with the dodgy dealings that Allardyce is so famous for.
Mark Hudson will be in charge for the small matter of Citeh at home on Sunday, unless Dean Hoyle has already been working on something in preparation for Wagner leaving.I was only teasing! I think Huddersfield should look at who they want for the next few years and not rush into appointing. I think they are going down so need to look at the future. I would have suggested the Luton manager but her has gone to Stoke.
PS don't talk to me about Colin and his bloody armed robbing midfielder. Robbed us at Wembley!
The tightest seats I have ever sat in are at
1st Altrincham main stand (so tight I was physically unable to sit)
2nd QPR (almost as bad)
3rd Old Trafford (you're glad of the relief when everybody around you stands so you can as well)
Bradford's ground at Horsfall is little better but our attendances are so poor that you can bank on having a free seat either side.
There were serious complaints about legroom when Bescot stadium first opened, so I've never sat in the older stands. But the newer stand behind the goal is OK.
Good grounds for legroom in the north west include Bolton, Manchester City and Wigan.

I predict we may get someone in to "steady the ship" on a deal til the end of the season, though the target will still be survival as long as that's possible. If they're an "old-hand" such as Allardyce, then behind the scenes Hoyle will be looking for someone else long-term. If they're a relative unknown as Wagner was, then Hoyle will essentially be giving them a three-month job interview.
As for Warnock, he's a manager who's great when he's yours but a nightmare when he's the opposition's. His name being that anagram is like a drunken version of nominative determinism!
This season is gone for us, and today's game could end up with a scoreline usually only seen at the JSS in the summer when the egg-chasers are playing!Fulham fan here. Yesterday's results didn't really do either of us any favours did they. We were hoping for that 'new manager boost' when Ranieri came in, but didn't materialise for us.
I do fear for both of us being on the wrong end of a tonking later on today!
Macclesfield 2-1 Oldham
Disappointed day for Oldham as knowing they scored in very first minute, the performance wasn't that great and Macclesfield fully deserve victory.
Probably big news coming out of Oldham Athletic in last 24 hours is that Paul Scholes look set to become new manager at Oldham Athletic and if you believe rumours from twitter then Nicky Butt will also come in as Scholes assistant. It be interesting move if that happens and do wonder how well Scholes will do at Oldham if he become new manager there.
A big name ex Premier League player doing a good job managing in the lower tiers? I didn't think that was possible!It's also worth mentioning Macclesfield. Since Sol Campbell arrived they have been quite impressive and are playing some good stuff.
My live football was Crawley Town v Port Vale which finished in a 1-0 win for Vale through Ricky Miller. Crawley were clueless. No plan, no ideas, no zip. Vale were solid and set out to not get beaten.
Good timing as not many people get to see a Port Vale win these days. It appears that the solid set up you talk of is a popular tactic of a manager with no previous football league experience. Unfortunately it is usually as solid as a lump of jelly and this is why the club is in the doldrums and why a 1-0 win away at Crawley Town is such a massive result in respect of the club keeping its head above the choppy relegation waters
Port Vale are managed by former Darlo pair Neil Aspin and Lee Nogan. Aspin signed for Darlo from Port Vale. He has got plenty of experience as a manager at Harrogate, Gateshead and Halifax where he was successful. There is very little difference between league 2 and the conference ( even the top of Conferance North) beyond fitness and "professionalism". The northern versions of non league pyramid are tough, hard leagues. Not so sure about the southern ones. I wonder if the chairman is more to blame for issues at Port Vale. He didn't seem popular with the travelling support.

I hear you on the League Two thing.
I’ve been watching League Two football all season and it’s very poor. It’s scrappy, with a lot of “industrial” football and kick and rush ethic.
The gulf between L1 and L2 is a chasm compared to the difference between L2 and the Conference (National League for newbies...).
Oh, without a shadow of a doubt the chairman of the club is dragging the Vale into oblivion. But Aspin can't be blameless as he seems to think fitting square objects into round holes is a good idea.
I agree that there isn't much difference between the top of non league and the bottom of the football league but my belief is that Port Vale should be well beyond this and making easy appointments of those who were legends of the club as a player just doesn't work.
it is a long time since Darlo played at that level ( and we were generally $hit) but we weren't that bad. I am sure of it. Has the standard declined?
