t have just back to the B&B in Cambridge after watching Cambridge play Norwich in a friendly. Very strange being in the home section. We would have gone in the away end with the Canaries but it is such a b'lls ache of a walk across those fields. But the match, as such consisted of four half hour sessions that were in theory two independent matches as the third one started with different line ups. Some players played in both. There was a fifteen minute break between the matches and a five minute half time break. The players stayed on the pitch all of the time.
It was wired but worked well.
What was a surprise to me that Barry Corr has signed for Cambridge on a free transfer! What a come down when you consider it was only last year that we were trying to sign him (wasn't it?) and he in my opinion played us off against Southend and eventually resigned for them.
For Norwich Wes Hoolihan was the best player on the pitch.

Take a look at average attendances last year.... For a team that finished where they did. Burton a NEWBOYS to the football league so dont get ahead of yourselves. Barry core joined as he knows we are a football club with PROVEN credentials in the football league. I might add that Barry Core is just one in a large list of proven high standard players that have joined this summer.... Guess they are all on a come down. |

Cambridge is a city. Burton is a town. Cambridge is a bigger place, hence why they should and do get higher attendances.
And it's Barry Corr, not Core. I'm breathless!

Poor deluded youth ! Cambridge fans never change, neither of us is what we once were, we are upwardly mobile. The normal reaction from a clubs supporters who think they are high and mighty compared to ourselves. Let them keep thinking that.

The reason that Corr joined Cambridge is that they are spending a lot of money this year. Money that has recently appeared on the scene which is a generally acknowledged fact.. See my thread about Martin Allen in this section. As far as a come down is concerned, Corr like others before him has dropped down a league or even more for money I call that a come down. We have all seen them, the Crawleys, Fleetwoods even Basford United. Some of these clubs go onto better things, other loose their sugar daddies and don't.
But as I type and I live in the present Burton are a bigger club than Cambrige and so are Southend and more than twenty others, so to go to .Cambridge on a free rather than being able to play off two teams for a better contract is a come down. And I would have said the same about a Burton player in the same circumstances, Billy Kee for instance to Accrington ?Stanley...
