I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

That's better😀

We might just get out of this with a good three points this evening and Wigan going into administration.

If they don't finish in the bottom three they'll be deducted 12 points. It remains to be seen whether this will galvanise there players or knock the stuffing out of them. They're the form team in the Championship at the moment.

A very good win for Town 🙂

Really feel for Wigan, though, not that long since they won the FA cup. (I was there)

On reflection my post above could look like I'm not also sympathetic to Wigan.

There are rumours that a large bet in the Philippines on Wigan to be relegated is behind their plight. It could explain why a club which was bought 4 weeks ago suddenly finds itself broke.

As always with these cases it's the supporters who will feel the pain.

I understand that there are moves afoot to ban the Betting Company adverts on EFL team shirts,  and they are getting all upset about it !!

Personally, having had a family member suffer thro being *in hock* to betting & the companies that so happily take ones cash no matter where it comes from and what lives it is ruining, I would cheerfully eject from the EFL etc all clubs still bearing adverts of that nature by 08:00 on Monday morning.

Of course Town are currently sponsored by a betting company but you won't find anything on their shirts. The contract was for one year only and they're looking for a new sponsor now, lets hope it's nothing to do with gambling.

I remember a few years ago the shirt sponsor was a cider company and children's replica shirts weren't allowed to have the sponsors name on them.

Saw the Burnley v Wolves game on BBC yesterday but I have to say too many things did not impress at all frown

1 } Spitting & nostril clearing is still taking place on the pitch

2 } Poor standard of refereeing

3 }  V A R  not helping the ref at all, and the modern version of Handball law is atrocious -- that  a player cannot use a hand / arm to protect against shoulder high flying boots could be possible food for an ambulance chasing lawyer , especially in the U.S.A. !!

I remember saying when VAR came in, the one big flaw was that it's just another of the elite referees who make the decisions
