...with a rather charming funny-colour railway. Marske away would be a nice draw for us, with a handful of ex-Pools players in their ranks. I suspect they've had their chance now though, and Gateshead will win the replay. In the first round I always want to be drawn away from home against...

93 Harrogate at ColU 107 Stevenage at Oldham

I can't help but be impressed by our away following this season. If you factor in the miles travelled I'd be very surprised if we weren't among the very best in L2, up there with Bradford, and maybe Bristol Rovers, Swindon. All the more impressive considering we are currently on our worst away...

Curiously, Mansfield had exactly the same 4-figure turnout (1019) as Hartlepool. That must be an unusual occurrence. Not surprised by Barrow. They don't have a large number of fans in total but, as a percentage of their base, I'd guess their away following is among the best in the division.

I miss the (very recent) days when you could make a late decision to attend an away game. I won't know if I'm able to make Bradford until after I finish work tomorrow. Consequently, I can't go. It's as ridiculous as it is maddening. I've been to 100s of games over the years and I've paid on...

Fondop puts effort in, but it's often misplaced. He seems to like dropping deep and picking the ball up with his back to goal. Unfortunately, as Dave Challinor said post-match, when he tries to control the ball in those situations it usually ends up with the opposition in position (or as it...

The run was interrupted by a four year spell in the National League, but our away form over the last full season's worth of away games in League 2 makes for gruesome reading. 23 games, 1 win, 4 draws, 18 defeats. 7 points from a possible 69. That's 0-1-5 this season to add to 1-3-13 in our...

Just gash from Pools, no redeeming feature whatsoever. Can't even say that Salford didn't allow us to.play. they were pretty damed ordinary too, and I'm certain they can play far better. They were still way better than us and deserved their win all day long. We had plenty of the ball but I...

1019 monkey hangers watching utter drek at Salford

Mildenhall? Crikey, he played against us for Notts Co in our first L1 playoff season under Neale Cooper. Tony Barras was in the Notts defence that day, and he played for us in the 1980s!

Stevenage have announced their figure (along with a higher than reported turnout from Devon)

It might be a regional thing. Up here we shit in pint glasses

It is with great sadness that we must report that the mountain climbing metaphor has been forced to retire, shortly after being chased to exhausted collapse by a thick prick.

I don't think so, not in this division. There have been a few promoted, relegated, promoted, but not as champions each time. Wimbledon had six seasons in 70s/80s in which they were promoted to D3, relegated to D4, promoted to D3, relegated to D4, promoted to D3 (champions), promoted to D2.

Yep. I thought he said 215, and that looked about right, but then I saw Dom Scurr reporting it as 250. I assume he misheard. With our shite PA he could just as easily have said 600, or 4000, or grapefruit.

Haha, he really is an idiot isn't he (among other things). I wish we had raised our game against Rovers as it would have been far better game, and might have teased a performance out of the opposition as well. As it was, we probably put in our worst home performance of the season, never...

Really pleased to hear that he's doing well. We had him a couple of years ago and played him mostly at left back. He looked decent in the friendlies then had a hesitant start to the season but there looked to be some talent there. He then suffered what must have been the most horrific trauma...

Much as I miss the days when loans were rarer and strictly short-term, I think the loan market is a necessity in these days when big clubs hoover up such vast numbers of players. It's arguable that we would not have won promotion last season if it wasn't for the impact made by our two...

Sorry everyone. The boycott seems to mean very little to our fans. 1572 at the Vic tonight, about in line with what we'd have got in the days before the u21 teams were brought in, maybe even a little higher than we'd have got back then considering how godawful the weather is tonight. Strong...

Nowhere near as strict as they used to be. Perhaps the EFL realised that forcing L1 and L2 clubs into near full strength sides while allowing Prem/Champ clubs to enter youth teams into the competition to "improve their development" was taking the piss a little too much. Last time I saw the...
