Were you there for the Holdsworth brothers 'derby'? That seems like a long, long time ago.

Maybe ... it's all about the sand. It's our secret weapon. Seriously, I won't relax until we are mathematically safe. I have supported the County for years. We can mess anything up. Anything.

Things are starting to look a bit better for us. We would be comfortably mid-table had it not been for Terry Butcher. We still have a tough March coming up. Our secret weapon looks to be dumping 40 tons of sand on the pitch.

... and I for one am really glad that Carlisle United exist. Especially this season when we were so desperate for points.

Having seen the Sky highlights I think that Boden could well have been onside. He peeled away from his marker(s) as the pass came in to him so to give him credit, he was at least in line with the defenders as the ball was passed to him. Like everyone else I only spotted where he was when he...

The 40 tons of sand they put on the pitch must have slowed him down today.

Both teams had to cope with pitch - we coped better. Green was lucky to stay on the pitch. He should have been booked in the first 5 minutes. He seems to have lost his pace. I'm feeling more confident about staying up. We've still got a very tough March.

It certainly looked offside from where I was sitting, but the lino had a good view. It'll be interesting to see the highlights. We were poor, Mansfield poorer. Usually those sorts of decisions go against us. Up the table we go.

He's a prospect. Strong, decent distribution and very keen. It doesn't look like we'll be extending his loan, but people have generally been impressed with him.

A 'sulky destroyer of team spirit' AND the 'work rate of an arthritic snail'. Sweet. Unfortunately if he has just one ounce of ability, never mind bundles, he'll still improve our squad. He's a mate of our manager by the sound of it so we will see if they remain mates at the end of the season.

At the start of the season I thought Hartlepool looked pretty decent when they beat us at their place but, as the season wore on I realised that it was probably an indication of how poor we were/are. Nevertheless they looked good enough to be mid-table minimum. Sacking Moore will either turn...

We've signed Dean Morgan. Last seen at Woking and who loaned him to Crawley. He also seems to have had a longish spell at Wycombe. He's no Matt Tubbs by the look of it, but he is an international with ... errr ... Montserrat.

Oi you two. aren't we supposed to be talking about a game that never took place? :bg: P.S. Shaun Batt is nailed on to score when the fixture is re-arranged. :ohn:

A very satisfying day's work. Those results couldn't have gone any better for us if our game was on. In fact if we'd have played, chances are Barnet would have turned us over even with half their squad injured. Let the Saturday night drinking commence.

Totally agree. The luxury of a Saturday not ruined by football. One of life's small pleasures.

Although it's not surprising due to the constant rain (I see the Bristol Rovers games is off too), it's frustrating. Hopefully called off early enough before any Barnet fans have travelled. Bugger

Actually I was on about the period following the departure of Justin Edinburgh (Feb.7th) when us fans were mulling over possible replacements. Gary Johnson was one name touted and he was available, ironically Mark Yates was another name mentioned at a later date if memory serves. This was...

What is it about Forest Green Rovers and appointing/sticking with poor managers? I would have liked us to appoint Gary Johnson. Instead we went for Terry Butcher. If we had, we wouldn't be in the position we are now. The gulf in quality between the managers at the top of the Conference will be a...

How did these 'three or four fans' cope with getting relegated? Their heads must have exploded. I remember seeing some footage on Twitter of an angry mob outside your ground giving the players some grief after you were relegated. They seemed to think the players hadn't been putting in a shift...

With our threadbare squad, the last thing we need is a fixture pile-up. We ended up hiring one of those domes to keep the rain off the pitch for the Blackburn Rovers FA cup game. I wonder how we could persuade our landlords (Newport RFC) to do one and play their rugby elsewhere! Then we would...
