Absolutely no idea what's going on with the waterworks this year. There's an argument that it's down to the lack of facilities (catering/toilets) but that never used to be an issue. A full waterworks is an extra 25k in the club's pockets, no idea why they would turn it down. I can only...

Beleaguered! We've been linked with half of league 2 today. But I'm starting to think that Simpson hasn't managed to convince anybody (other than Armstrong) to join us yet - he sounded frustrated in his last interview. Still hoping to have a couple more through the door before the Exeter...

I don't think JCH will be commanding an £800k fee at this point - not when his contract is up in June. If Peterborough have a replacement lined up, they may take a knockdown fee in order to free up his wages. That said, I'd be surprised if we're one of the two clubs.

Fleetwood Town versus Carlisle United Nil. Not looking forward to this one - thankfully I didn't get a ticket, and at least I can turn ifollow off if/when it turns out to be as bad as yesterday. Wigan on Friday isn't going to be much fun either...

That was absolutely awful. The two worst sides in the division, by far - neither would have scored were it not for the most incompetent piece of goalkeeping seen at `Brunton Park since... er, last week. Tomas Holy's time is up, and we'll be splashing the cash on a new keeper in January. We'll...

That train is going to be rammed on the way back. If Avanti actually manage to run it...

1500 seats in the away section, no way they'll be that miserly. It would be against EFL rules not to offer more if asked for.

It's just an initial allocation. You'll get more if you want them.

Looked a different side yesterday, moved the ball around more fluently and some good ball carrying from Jordan Gibson and Luke Plange. A little bit slow to get men in the box for crosses, but other than that greatly improved. Sickening to concede at the death after coming from a goal behind...

Armstrong will carry a significant fee himself - fully expecting it to be a club record. Rumour is that Edmo is heading the other way as part of the deal.

In the bag, this one. Don't think there's anything in the Wyke rumours though...

1,997 Carlisle at Blackpool (including a good few who can't take their liquor) + a handful in the home ends.

Short hop on a couple of (inevitably delayed) trains, few beers, pouring rain, howling wind... Tough game to get anything out of, but we should have a point to prove after the Reading travesty.

Yup, Springfield Park was carnage on both occasions I had the 'pleasure' of visiting. Grassy open 'terracing', and some of the most over-the-top policing I can remember. Was in my teens on both occasions, and it left a lasting impression. This will be my first trip to the new ground, looking...
