In normal times we'd have got about 400 tonight based on previous B team crowds, 400 too many, but what with this being the first "competitive professional" game with fans back that will sadly be higher, but it looks like we've failed to shift the 1,000 tickets on sale, which in a depressing way...
1 Salford City
2 Port Vale
3 Tranmere Rovers
-----------------------------------
4 Cheltenham Town
5 Walsall
6 Exeter City
7 Forest Green Rovers
-----------------------------------
8 Bradford City
9 Mansfield Town
10 Grimsby Town
11 Bolton Wanderers
12 Newport...
Happy with ours, not missing too much pre-December with Exeter the only decent away trip before then, hopefully the second wave doesn't come and we can get away fans in by the time Bradford rolls around just before Christmas, unlikely I suspect but fingers crossed.
Admittedly not seen as much of him the last 2 years but Maris seems to be living off the back of half a good season about 3 seasons back. As Vanni says, there's a very good player in there, but you feel like he has to be in exactly the right system to thrive consistently, no idea what that...
Missing Salford and Oldham from League 2, haven't had the chance for either since moving away at the beginning of last season, was fortunate to get Bradford opening day whilst I was back in August.
221 total across 12 countries, don't get many new ones over here but got both the LA teams coming...
Sounds as if Simon Rusk will be appointed our new manager sometime next week. Me neither.
Brighton U23 coach, former Conference journeyman in his playing career, club going for the Nathan Jones approach. Impossible to say whether Rusk will be capable as a manager (well, Head Coach, ugh), but my...
We're giving it a damn fine go. As I said elsewhere luckily Stevenage are proper dogshit, we probably only need two wins to be sure factoring that in and I suspect we'll shithouse our way to them at some point once Calderwood is eventually given the boot (tonight, hopefully).
Calderwood is only...
I've picked the Chiefs, but I'm not entirely convinced, they're talking a lot of smack and I'm not sure that's a particularly streetwise move against a team who've been heavy underdogs in their last two playoff games.
Said before last week I just didn't want to lose in heartbreaking fashion, the win last week was a massive bonus and we were just comprehensively beaten by a better team, and certainly a much better coached team.
Window closing for the Vikings, over the cap for next year, still need O-Line...
As of Wednesday we'd apparently sold 10 tickets and have cancelled the away travel coach, so no, not many travelling, it will be pitifully low. Probably still not as pitiful as the performance we'll put it on the pitch though.
For once I'm delighted the Vikings have let me down! :bg:
Vikings - 49ers (Over 35)
Titans - Ravens (Over 35)
Texans - Chiefs (Under 35)
Seahawks - Packers (Under 35)
Seahawks - 49ers
Chiefs - Ravens
49ers - Ravens
Unbelievable performance yesterday, I feared the game was going the same way...
We're exactly where I expected us to be, but it's been boring as fuck for the most part to get there. Mid-table after finishing 22nd last season is absolutely fine, especially with the pretty piss poor squad we have, but it feels like the inevitable sequence of events will be: 1) Release most of...
