doing a Tranmere Rovers?
Finished last season as runners up in the national league with 95 pts,breezed the semi finals 5-2,sound familiar? Bottled the final to FGR when strong favourites.This season,sitting in 16th place with 21 pts from 17 games.At least they're 3 places above Orient!
Fine margins.Thankyou Sir Manse.

I thought this was going to refer to Harrison's miss at P'boro meaning Millwall went up to the Championship us of us, fine margins!

Which of course reopens the debate about where we'd be now if we hadn't lost to Mansfield. If JJOT had got that header in, or one of the other countless attempts had hit the target.
Would DC have signed non-league players like Sinclair or The Snake? Maybe, since he came from that background. But he would have had a bigger budget, so maybe not.
Are we better off now for going down to non-league?
I don't think so, personally, although I realise a lot of people do.
But I don't think DC would have wasted much time in clearing out the malingerers from 2013-14 and would have rebuilt very quickly. But the relegation cost us financially and we are still feeling the effects.

Staying on the non-league theme,just noticed that Ben Williamson bloke who was being bigged up by a Cambridge fan on here (can't remember his handle) as being superior to gaffers,is now playing for Eastleigh.Probably earning more than gaffers mind.

What is the point of this thread?
* A Mark McCrystal hitting the post from staying in the league?
* A soaked pitch on purpose to calling off the Stockport game at home to beating the sh** in the LDV to going onto to win promotion
* A will Puddy fumble at Dover (I was there) to not going up as Champions?!?!
Let’s stop fecking patting ourselves on the back for stupid situations and failure and let’s have some AMBITION. I was there in 1990 when the sh** were more loaded than us and we smashed them on the 2nd May and went onto to be Champions and into the Championship.
This thread reminds me of the bloke proud of his corner shop opposite to a Tesco Express. We have a thread on Tranmere while the sh** enterain Manchester United in the quarter final of the cup.
An absolute Banned word thread, we should never have EVER graced non league football, feck Tranmere and us playing sh** for 120 minutes against Grimsby.
I want a decent ground and budget, right now we have Hamer telling blatant lies about a top 6 budget and I’m in the sh** West Enclosure tomorrow.
To the OP, how about a dream, do you dream? How about we go to Swansea in the Premiership? I went to the Vetch in Div4 as a kid, did you? No you didn’t did you?!

Don’t you think we all know we were a penalty kick away from..............
Fergie........A Mark Robins goal away from being sacked?
The sh**.........A Dean Windass goal away from being a Leicester today as Premiership Champions.
Like I said, Puddy is why we went to Wembley and he now doesn’t have a club.

How about we go to Swansea in the Premiership? I went to the Vetch in Div4 as a kid, did you? No you didn’t did you?! I actually agree with everything Paul has said. We look back with pride that we went to the conference, when we never should have entertained the thought, let alone achieved it. Did anyone actually enjoy Gateshead, Dover and Woking away? And they were some of the bigger teams. I hated every minute. I was a kid in early 90s and remember my dad and uncle taking me to games when we were on a real role. Playing teams like Derby, Newcastle, West Ham, West Brom, Birmingham were the norm and derby days against City and Swindon. I can see the OPs point, but we should be looking forwards, not backwards and Tranmere shouldn't be in that league either. |

A totally pointless thread from the OP as far as I am concerned.
Clutching at straws I would suggest, paticularly in view of what's happening across the city where the previously talked about gap is widening as every month passes and any mention of them is now a very rare occurance on here.
Paul Road man is quite right in what he says and I totally agree with him.
Forget about the likes of Tran mere and show some ambition to reach the dizzy heights of the Championship before that gap reverts to two divisions apart again!

I got my first season ticket when we played in the conference.
I hated every minute of it at the time.
But because it was only 1 season and turned out a sucessful 1 I can now look back and say thank F##k we got out of there so soon.
It’s part of our history now so do we just forget it ever happened?
I think not.
We learn from it.
Should we reach top flight 1 day will you be grudge everyone talking about how we were non league X amount of yours ago.
Not proud of it but it’s happened and we’ve moved on.

But what's the betting that in 5 years Tranmere are back above us in the league and playing in a far better ground? Unless Wael finds some money soon mid table Div 1 maybe the best we'll achieve in a lot of life times.

Unless Wael finds some money soon mid table Div 1 maybe the best we'll achieve in a lot of life times. in the future there will be no need for a stadium as it will all be about money from tv rights and live media streaming and all that. Games probably won’t even happen anymore it will all just be a digital game injected in your mind or something so you can sit in your battery pod and just feel that the game has happened and know the result in your brain and can click like if you win. |

Tenner says they will not go above us in the league at any point in the next 5 years. f**k the better ground part of the wager though. |

We would 100% still be down there if we hadn't beat Grimsby.
With the wonga loan too there is a good chance we wouldn't have a club!
Thank feck for manse

Softly softly catchee monkey bollocks. We may as well have Nick Higgs as our chairman. My expectations were raised by the owner, but he needs to start spending money on players. City have now widened the gap and it's increasing every year. They are our main competition in this city for getting people to pay for watching football. |
