We didn’t half waste some money on strikers in the conference - Jackson, Alford, Sale, Newell and that lad only 40k but massive then and literally never played, was it Gary Williams? Lots of them I must confess look like JR-inspired vanity signings.

Quote from: Rigoglioso on July 17, 2018, 02:08:14 pmThey'll get about 2,000+ attendances this season. Not bad, but there's a lot of other clubs in the league who'll get bigger gates....I think more like 2.5k, and more if they are serious promotion contenders. Interesting to see how attendances go with such a massive catchment area, and with a lot of people feeling disconnected from the two prem sides by expense as well as the rest.With a 5k ground, it looks like they'll be wanting to expand v soon with the current investment. A 5 year plan of established Championship football?

well some of you might recall Crawley buying there way out of the league. Funny story Fatti Evans was the Manager of Rotherham at the time and came on Radio dada and said non league Crawleys had offered £250,000 for a Rotherham player and did alll the moaning etc. I knew then Crawley at 6/1 were certs for the Championship but that was done on "low key" not a lot of people realised what was going on not like this mob with more money than sense and the players training in high visibility jackets It was ironic that Evans had left Crawley after 7 years to join Rotherhami looked at the odds saturday and the hype and £Sd had caused them to be around 2/1 .this is a very fast starting league playing twice a week watched Saltford on Saturday on the TV and they should have lost end of Martin Allens mob got a dour win on Saturday (would expect nothing else) and play a top 7 team Aldershot Tuesday who have lost a few players -- think he nicked one from themHe's also just signed that bloke who continually threw the ball into the Rovers penalty when there was an air raid over the keepmoat last time barnet played Rovers -- Muggleton so it's route 1(extreme) they go to war at Salford on August 19th 7/2 for promotion looks a far better bet - hedge some of it off if they only make the play offs maybe some of you want each way around 8/1seems coleman is a big chessie fan this year as opposed to wolves wigan and luton last season
I hope they don’t win a game all season. I’ve had a lump on Leyton Orient. 14/1.
Saw that Salford lost at Gateshead as well.Welcome to the Conference Premier, lads. Money gets you nowhere in this league unless you're hungry enough and have the b*llocks to contend with long-ass midweek trips to places like Gateshead and horrible winter days on a crap pitch, somewhere down south.Ah well, they'll learn...

Then I might hedge - i know what players they have signed --so i can sleep at night because a big lump (of money) has gone from under my bed - so the bed is level !!! --- as usual this money has only been loaned seems coleman is a big chessie fan this year as opposed to wolves wigan and luton last seasonlast season I had all the leagues won by October and had a very happy manager ended up a meatloaf 2 out of 3 aint bad -- POSSIBLY VERY POSSIBLY CHESSIE might have this league won by then who knows --- rigo forgot to mention there were 4500 fans there last night nor how Martin Allen whipped up the crowd before and during the match for the slaughter. Chessie took 800 away on Saturday -- Salford took 90 away last night to Gateshead. --
