The Football.....

[Sallar55]

Football success is dependent upon the money men deciding which team to buy👿 The big teams just turn the leagues into a game of survival for the rest. Would be interesting if you related turnover to a handicap system, that would make the league interesting.

I'm another who has always thought it is Solihull Motors. That's really weird.

You're not alone. The club see the funny side, but you'd need to read the full (short) thread.

Congratulations to Scarborough on their promotion.

Yes well done to them, although slightly sad that they have now re-hopped a league up from Whitby Town, it was quite fun having the big boys from down t'road below us for a few seasons

Given the length they've been in the leagues, that's a relative blip. It coincided with wider tv coverage which makes it stand out, and tends to be the date Leeds fans start history. As I mentioned, for a one club City of its size, history shows that they're massive under achievers, and a fair few 'smaller' clubs have a better record.

We shall have agree to disagree.
When I stood in the kop or paddock in the 60s/70s I didn't feel that Bremner, Hunter, Eddy Gray, Lorimer, Giles, Charlton etc winning....
The league (twice)
FA cup
Fairs cup
European cup (whatever it was called) finalists twice...... thought that was a blip.
But yes, I do take your point.....I just see it differently to you

They've never been Motors. They were called Lincoln in the past though.

Every day's a school day!
"Solihull Moors FC was formed in 2007 by the amalgamation of two football clubs - Solihull Borough and Moor Green.
Solihull Borough was formed in 1953 by Joe Mc Gorian. The club was originally known as Lincoln FC as Joe set the club up after a meeting at the Lincoln Road Cafe in Acocks Green." Apparently.

No relation to Lincoln Red Imps who rule the roost in Gibraltar and started out as the Blue Batons youth team before being sponsored by an ex Lincoln City director and changing their name.

There a lot of misleading articles claiming Mitrovic has set an English 2nd tier scoring record, don't believe them....

Read that on the Beeb earlier, though to be fair they did say it was post-1992 when football was invented and eradicated all previous records

I'm still convinced they dropped the t about 3 to 4 years ago. In my mind I had an image of something like one of those 1970's 'massive' British Leyland factories, which then changed to wide open fields when they became Moors.🤔


Maybe them being next to the Jaguar/Land Rover factory made me make it up on my mind.🤔

Are there any moors in Solihull by the way? I just thought of it as an urban industrial sprawl. Going off the pic' there is greenery, but it looks like man made parks, not natural moors.🤔

errrr.....

errrr.....

Yes, but where's the evidence of actual moors? It's all very well being called Moors, but do they actually exist?🤔

I see your point @Accy cyclist, It must be because their first manager was Othello then

So did I, till I read this thread.
