Any changes to match threads?

Fri Jul 31, 2026 7:05 pm

Will be doing the first match thread of the season over the weekend or early next week, for the Swindon game. As usual, it will be a full match thread but may be scaled down slightly as it's a cup game.

As I ask every season, do people think there should be changes to the match threads this season?

All opinions welcome and will be considered :thumbright:

Last season the match thread had the opponents, time and date, stadium (with an image) and updates ahead of the game at the top. Also a poll on the match result. The individual sections were:


About the opponents
Connections between the two clubs
Opposition's manager
Opposition's dangerous players
Referee
Last five games head to head
Predicted line-ups
Last game
Match odds


So, if you think anything should be removed or added to the match thread then please reply on this thread.

Thanks :bluebird:

You do a great job, Ned; and your threads are a great focal point before and during any given match :ayatollah:

Wrexham match thread will be done over the weekend so last chance to make suggestions ahead of the league season :thumbright:

Also, after feedback I received last season, there will be a slight change to the "referee rating" threads. Instead of being marks out of ten, it will be a star system with 5 being the best and obviously 0 being the worst. It was suggested to me as it would be more straightforward so will give that a try this season.

Unfortunately that would only leave ten people left on the forum.
