Me personally think we've done our penance in non league, Whilst not being complacent I just think we're a long way off what you say, See what the table says in 10 games, That's normally a good marker.
Obviously I sincerely hope you are right and I wasn’t particularly singling out this season as the season it could happen anyway.

Interesting on Quest on Saturday hearing their co commentator mentioning the Crewe fans up in arms as they are having to sell their youngsters to bring in cash to survive. I also notice that they have sold the naming rights of Gresty Road which is now The Mornflake Stadium :censored:.

This is life in league one for a club who averaged just short of 4000 for the last three seasons we had crowds. Where would they be if they could get 6000 attendances

Any fans of lower league sides thinking they can keep all their best younger players are at best deluded especially when significant money is on the table. If the money is right Key will go as will any of our players, no matter how gutting it was to lose Randall

It's not so much that even though I agree, It seems nowadays the good gems get sold more earlier than they use to, Your lucky to get half a season out of them, I do find that frustrating.

Mark Robson made his debut in October 1986 and was gone to Spurs before the end of that season if I recall correctly.

Could we use any additional transfer funds to extend the NOG and close the gap? Maybe add a camera gantry in there too and replace some pink seats in the Cowshed?

Asking for a friend like.
Could make the pink seats red while theyre at ito_O:LOL:

I believe the club have looked seriously at this, but short of replacing them with newer ones that don't fade as badly as the plastic is different, not much you can do about it.
