Paddy Power have looked at the teams with the most 'loyal' players. There's 7 clubs in the championship with a lower player retention rate than us. That's quite surprising: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...ield-town-barnsley-and-rotherham-rank-2953631
Yeah that's probably it. They had a lot of players on long term contracts and high wages. They've not been able to shift a lot of them until their contracts have expired.
With the exception of one or two, I'd say the quick turnover at BFC is more due to the business strategy than player power.
I'm presuming they're including time in the academy as well, because I'd have thought Mowatt would have been our longest serving player. Jan 2017 he signed iirc.
Your memory is brilliant mate. Do you write stuff down in a spreadsheet? Serious question, just asking. If you don't that's even more impressive!
I know Troy Deeney is a big lad but surely he’s not turned into his own club?! Also, what is this based on? We’re in 17th on the list but our average is apparently 524 days which should put us 22nd surely?
Write it down on a spreadsheet? I'm far too lazy for anything like that, mate! Nah, just comes from memory. In other words, pure guesswork!
Seriously impressive if done from memory, especially as you go as far back as you do! What was your first game again?
Thank you. Home to Barrow, 10th August 1968. We lost 3-2. Johnny Evans opened the scoring in the game, Allen Bradbury completed the scoring. My first away game was three weeks later, a 0-0 draw at Rotherham United.
