In both 2010/11 and 2011/12, L2 was a predominantly southern division. Plymouth have a good away following regardless, to be fair to them - though it remains fairly constant if you look across their averages across the 5 seasons you posted. I think I recall their own fans on the away support...

We charge 'on the day' home fans £25 as well. I agree it's high. They put it up this season to try and encourage more purchases of season tickets/flexi cards (which worked). The unfortunate by-product of course is that the away ticket price also went up. A Bury fan wrote to BCFC this week...

You'll take it? Surely if we're that bad you should be disappointed you didn't win, given you're the L1 incarnation of Barca? What's actually hilarious is that you came on our board a few weeks back, said you'll wallop us and took the piss out of our support! Then you bring that following...

Those two consecutive seasons where we came very close to being relegated out of the Football League? Not entirely surprising the away followings were poor. Perhaps you can draw your own conclusions from that instead? Stats are great without context. I don't think you'll find any City fan...

No - he signed a 3 year deal with Wolves a year ago.

Frankly amazed Firthy didn't jump on this given his recent postings, but according to Fleetwood there were 1,365 City fans there on Saturday (they put it up on their scoreboard when announcing the attendance) which would fit with a sold out terrace and 2 full blocks of their main stand.

Where are we all saying we're now world beaters Col B? All I've seen on our own boards is a bit of positivity following the result, but certainly an acknowledgment that we didn't play well and that you clearly dominated the 1st half. All I've seen on here are comments from a number of us...

You're making that call after just 5 games? Interesting. There are plenty of examples of teams who have had very poor starts and gone onto have fantastic seasons. I'm not suggesting that will definitely happen to us, but given we've had a really poor start (both in terms of performances and...

Don't care about how it came, we just needed a win from somewhere. Better quality football can (hopefully) come later. Parkinson said he wanted to stop us shipping goals and that's two consecutive clean sheets vs teams who were/are doing well. I'd like to think this will be a catalyst for...

I'm not sure that 2 ex-Blackpool players in our starting 11 counts as the team being "full of" them. Nice try though. We don't say he's a poor manager - poor managers don't take a L2 side to the League Cup final and promotion in the same season. I'll give you the fact that some of us think he...

Yep apologies for going off topic, think 1-1 is a realistic prediction and is a result I'd take to be honest. Our recruitment is still ongoing - appears we may well be getting Jaaskelainen and a CB in before the weekend (various rumours as to who - Goldson mentioned but highly highly unlikely...

Pretty sure we got worldwide attention from 'neutrals' for reaching the League Cup final as a L2 side only two years back and then again for that win at Stamford Bridge last season. I'm not going to call you any names, apart from perhaps 'Mr Inaccurate'.

He's actually very good - started off a bit dodgy/flappy early last season but once he got to know his defence he did very well. Excellent shot stopper and top draw distribution, needs to improve a bit on crosses/decision-making. I'd say you were spoiled with Johnstone last season and Pickford...

Not sure if they know the wages (I think) he's on for a start. Personally wouldn't want him - he's basically Cov's version of Andrew Davies in that he's a good player but very injury prone. We need someone who can partner McArdle in the vast majority of games next season. No idea who that could...

Someone on our message board suggests there's a photo somewhere on twitter of him at Vale Park. No idea what Stead was on at Huddersfield, but would clearly need to take a decent-sized wage drop at most L1 clubs. No idea what we offered him, but given I saw somewhere that Pope was your...

Stead would be a good signing for most teams in this league - many of us are surprised we didn't sign him permanently following his efforts for us last season. Wages supposedly the stumbling block.

No question he is a big loss, but as bantamigo says he ultimately didn't play enough for us to really push the boat out to get him to re-sign. Apparently we offered a part appearance-based wage, he wasn't keen, there was a bit of back and forth and in the end Ross County have offered a more...

That aimed at me? I was agreeing with you, but correcting your view of our historical league standing. I don't disagree that players will nearly always go for the money.

Historically been at this level the most followed fairly closely by 2nd tier, but I agree there's no need to be patronising towards Fleetwood.

Agreed - it's been a straight north/south split for a few seasons in the 1st round hasn't it? A classic 'moan about it after getting the worst draw' comment! It's a bit much to have written to the FL about it.
