next 2 games will show if gates will go up. not the most thrilling of games on paper but I predict an increase. remember a 10 per cent increase in gates is only about 150 extra and if this cannot happen people in the area should hold their heads in shame. if a miserable old tight git like me can travel 50 miles in wind rain and snow to games theres no excuse for locals. whats been on offer this season deserves much better support. the players, directors and management all deserve it.

I know I shouldn't do this, but can't resist:-

English League Two 2015-2016 Form Table - Statto.com

What would our gates be if this was the end of season table? We could continue our rivalry with the Shrimps in D1. Dream on!

That,s the reality at most clubs look at Crawley yesterday on my adding up 400 or more simply did,nt turn up yesterday relegated last season and bottom 2 now that,s when you really need the support but in the real world it does,nt happen, our gates will creep up I,m sure if we are were we are all season so the club just has to enjoy the better revenue,s while it can.

Excellent, composed djsplay with a bit of swagger
A test without Tom and then Dean, but i have to say Matt Pearson was awesome with Joe Wright not far behind
Sky might wake up and realise we exist, maybe just maybe live on sky mid January

Got to agree Nick,and as you know i am a big fan,but Matty can play all across the back four and holding mid as well.
Young Joe surprised me tho,i knew he could play,but there's a bit of steel in him as well and came thro the first 30 minutes of Ariel bombardment with flying colours.
Acid test will be against different opponents,like quick and tricky players,but both played well
