Chippo you certainly are daft if you think most of us stanleyites expect the playoffs again next season!! Most of us would settle for staying up this season, just as we would have settled for it every season since we won the conference.

I think most of us are honest enough to admit that we are perrenial overachievers and as such we are constantly expecting the loss of our rough diamonds in the close season, its just how it is!! And do you know what, if at the end of this season we are found wanting for the first time in 12 years then I for one will embrace the fact that at some point Coleys unbelieveable acheivement of obtaining higher league placement and points every season he has been in charge was always going to end, should that mean relegation then so be it. (I dont actually think we will be regelgated though, i'll settle for one place above the relegation spots thanks!)

As long as we have a well run, self sustaining football club where people get paid on time, do their jobs to the best of their abilities, and that isnt lurching from crisis to drama every few weeks then I will remain a happy and proud stanley fan.
