Would possibly be the least attended game ever.

Bear in mind that we played Stockport on the day of Queen Victoria's funeral and 12 people attended.

Well getting out of Stevenage is going to be your problem and not mine, so there.

Well, you get a derby next year, for what it's worth.

From what I saw of the match it was really poor quality.

If Peterboring win tomorrow, Jack Mac can have LT's spot next season (assuming he want it)

If not, I guess we're one down unless any other members have come along whom I've forgotten about

I think there's a Shrews fan somewhere. Not sure if he's interested.

Oh yeah, so they did, obviously I'm too grand to pay attention to that division, nowadays.

Anxiously awaiting another season of mid-table obscurity.

How long is it exactly before the next season starts? A fortnight or three weeks?

Bugger.

Rightio, I'm in. I hate the fact that I am, and that stupid Posh were the better side (better, but not 3-0 better), but I can't wait for the banter.

You bastards.

Would like it noted that Dav's location is awesome. Don't know if anyone else has picked up on it elsewhere, and can't be arsed to search, but it had to be said.

This happening this year?

Dangerously optimistic about this season at the moment, sure it will be shattered soon enough but as long as we play something that slightly resembles football then I shall be happy.

Bit worried about this season actually. Yes, Club Legend Carl Duguid is back, but as far as I can tell, we only have two proper strikers at the moment and a very small squad overall. I know we usually have issues in the 2nd half of the season as it is, but I think we could be in for a severe battle this year. Mid table obscurity would be a good result.

Yeah, it's happening, I'm a bit busy, so I'll post the fixture list, without Argiggle, and with 'uddersfield later.

Not sure about how we'll do, lost a lot of goals in Curo and Ryan, but looking to the youth team, which is exciting, as that's the only way a club like us can really progress. Making our own.

Hope out of Shephard, Bennett, Nicholls, Frear, Reid and others, that we can get two or three decent uns.

My favourite thing about this story is the little Brentford v Ajax box, we smash them in our respective football league trophy records

Right, should remember the normal rules about me being an incompetant idjit still apply, I will make mistakes, I have no problem with people pointing these out

The first fixtures don't appear until the 16th. I think I'll post them monthly.

16

Exeter v Brentford
Hartlepool v Huddersfield,

20

Huddersfield v Colchester

27

Brentford v Tranmere
Colchester v Oldham

All teams get at least one game, oddly enough.

My predictions of how they'll finish

Udders
Grecians
Essex boys
Latics
Bees
Monkey-hangers
Plastic scousers.

More for t'actual leugue TBH, but it may translate.
