We are probably now a L1 and L2 yo yo team. Similar to our life in the 80’s. Given our form (or lack of it), budget and gates. This run (2 wins in 19) reminds me of when DF took us down. I can’t honestly see where too many wins will come from. At least Rotherham lost and Leeds got a mauling. Keep smiling, it’s only a game.

Keep smiling, it’s only a game.But we are led to believe the budget is a good one for this level.Before lockdown, our attendances were in the top 8 of the division.So what has changed?I agree however, we will go down this season. With a whimper too.Let’s hope so….. I prefer 4th tier football, more wins, better banter, no expectations, less fans, less money for players, cheaper burgers and beer, Get rid of all the supporters who foretold the demise then either jumped ship or retired from supporting a local team….Getting giddy at the prospect of playing Exeter and Hartlepool again…

Talk of relegation is insane at this point. Period.

We're not paying all the loans we had last year, copps money is freed up. Surely Knoyle and Rowe are on about same as James and Halliday, Jason, Madger and Butler all freed up and several youngsters (Amos). Has Roshaun, jordi, close and barlow and the few loans taken up all the money? The loans this year don't seem as many or as experienced as the ones from last year, so I would've thought would have been cheaper.

I for one will NOT accept relegation to league 2

An interesting post - but you do realise you are equating the use of the budget over a whole season, with what has happened by the 2nd weekend in August?I have no idea if more players will be coming in or out, but I reckon it will be more useful to wait for the end of this, and then the January, transfer/loan windows before comparing.
