    What's Happened? Where is everyone?

    I leave the country for a few days and the site dries up, what's going on? I am still in the US and obviously missed something.

    Feigning a head injury while defending; a new tactic.

    The new rule that came in this season gives defenders a chance to stop play by falling over holding their head. The game restarts with the ball given to their goalkeeper. Northampton used it to their advantage yesterday; anyone else notice the tactic being used against them, or in fact by their...

    Why are people leaving the site?

    I've been away for 3 months, only popping in to use the prediction game. I've noticed a drop off in posts and one or two mentioning that the site is losing patrons. Just wondered why?

    Season Ticket sales; Willy Waving allowed!

    We have managed to shift 1740 in three weeks, that number should creep over 2000 before the season actually starts. Who is bettering that? Wrexham, Chesterfield Notts County or Stockport?

    So what have I to look forward too on my travels next season?

    Living in Shropshire I have Wrexham, Solihull Moors, Notts County and Altrincham close (ish). All been visited before. Wrexham, shitty pubs in the actual town, but the excellent Bridge End Inn at Ruabon is a must for me before (and after) the game). Solihull Moors, what a pain to get too by...

    The proper relegation thread.

    OK, half way through the season for most of us. Who honestly thinking their team is worse than Grimsby, Southend, Scunny, Stevenage or Barrow? The aforementioned teams are all poor, in fact 'very poor'. Unless another side implodes it's between those five. No players wants to join my beloved...

    Saturday 24th Oct; The Fixture Thread

    I will start it off with the big match: Grimsby Town v Carlisle United. We are blowing hot and cold with some good football intermingled with some really sloppy stuff, but we have goals in us. Carlisle appear to be playing well but unable to score many. After picking up 7 points away from home...

    Tuesday 20th Fixtures, full set!

    We welcome new boys Harrogate to Cleethorpes for a 19:45 kick-off. Most games seem to be starting earlier though. They seem to have began their first season up here very well and are above us in the league, however: We have a game in hand and have really kicked in over the last 3 games (6 goals...
