    They certainly need to both step up a level and produce something an assist would be nice. We are fast approaching fare I say Chesterfield levels of injuries. Bedeau the latest surprise omission due to injury. Still no JJ, no Austin, no Whitaker, no Jarvis in the starting XI and no McGoldrick...

    Granted. Special occasions rather than a standard league two fixture.

    Thankfully Jacob has explained the reality of the situation rather than the guesswork from afar. In summary, it's not bullshit. It's not a lie. When a club can sell it out we are happy to give a large allocation and reep the financial benefits. But why let the truth get in the way of a good...

    I'm not entirely sure you are probably best checking with Valefan16 as he is the one who quoted Notts as another example on this subject. Sounds like some similarities to me. One guaranteed consistency is fans moaning, rightly or wrongly, about the the away allocations they receive.

    It's a relatively straightforward equation for us. No point opening up another section of the away stand if only an extra 200-300 fans are going to be in it. It's not cost efficient to do so. Of course if they are going sell lots more tickets then Notts will happily oblige as we have done many...

    We would have released additional tickets if the opposition club was confident of selling the majority of them. In case of NCFC Vs PVFC at Meadow Lane that wasn't the case. Extra costs of opening up more of the stand is factored into the decision.

    Sounds familiar. Notts allocation to Vale was based on the away following predicted by PVFC. They clearly underestimated how many tickets were needed and then understandably the fans were confused and moaned when they weren't given the next allocation by Notts but it was their own club fault...

    I like the away fan zone at Cheltenham.

    MKs attendance figures are shocking. Carlisle's league position is also shocking. Both shocking.

    I'm surprised to be saying this at this stage of the season but I don't think Maynard will be the biggest factor whether we go up or not. I think it will be injuries more specifically the availability of our front two. Our main men up top for the run in. Our record against top sides is poor so...

    Feels quite a pivotal and tricky game, win and it sets up a game with Tranmere nicely. Fair to win and then it feels like we are spluttering and puts huge pressure on next game. With a healthier squad I would be confident of the 6 needed points but the diagnosis for McGoldrick was disappointing...

    True to some extent but you you omitted mentioning that Wrexham are well into the process of adding 5000+ seats to their stadium, Stockport have grand plans underway to hugely increase their capacity. Wycombe don't need to expand due to fanbase and isn't an old stadium with many issues. Orient...

    What an excellent post and my thoughts exactly. I love old grounds for the character, the nostalgia, the memories and the uniqueness...... but only as a visitor. Until Grimsby get a new stadium they are basically treading water. The cost to just keep patching it , keeping health and safety...

    It is indeed but talk about tough Bradford and Wimbledon are imperious at home and rarely concede. Crewe are a bogey side recently and we will be without Jatta. Plus we have Chesterfield and Donny. Fun times though could be worse could be MK et al.

    The vast majority of football fans would just say we are lucky to be level at the break. I didn't criticise the goalkeeper or defender quite the opposite I praised them. You seem to be the only one missing the collective comments we were poor for not taking our chances as we had more than...

    Well that's one way of looking at that first half I suppose. Ok if you can't view it as being fortunate to be level at the break how about we go for in that first half Vale played so poorly that they had to rely on their goalkeeper did his job and produced an excellent save and your defender...
