blythspartan I see a new catering partnership has been announced so hopefully that’s a fairly good sign.

Depends if it's better than Compass

Might be in their interest to drag things out until the season changeover if that was the case then we start with -12 in League One I assume instead of starting on 0 in League Two. Not sure which is worse though - League 2 on 0 points may be an immediate return to L1 but L1 on -12 may be a horrible...

Really enjoyed Jim and Mick years for what they were despite the struggling, really annoyed with JM for not giving them some "reward" by letting them manage through the final season at EP esp. as the taxi was allowed a decent budget for players which they never got! The last decade has re...

I imagine the only way we go into administration is if the deal collapses and Chiron put us in with their charge on the training ground. At which point the Administrators come in and sell to Chiron for a lower fee than currently agreed in principle. Assuming they'd still want us in L2. Otherwise RI...

To be honest, I remember coming away from the home game against Fulham in 2006/07, a scrappy 1-0 win and thinking "I've just watched the future and it's oxf*rd turgid". That's the date it dawned on me that the Premier League ain't the be all and end all. The journey there was more fun tha...

Franchise FC

LUX Looking forward to this evening’s games.

Who have Burton and Cheltenham got ?
Does it affect our magic number ?

The magic number is currently 0 so, no, their games won't change it.

I believe the magic number is 1 which will change to 0 whatever the results this evening.

Snowflake Royal I've heard only one of Burton and Cheltenham can catch us. Can anyone confirm?

The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is there. But keeping it up would be a mammoth ballache. 79 Points is enough to absolutely guarantee survival at the beginning of the season. But, as you say, painful to track after every ...

Argument, in the sense of: Noun - a reason or set of reasons given in support of an idea, action or theory. Ambiguity, the curse of the internet ! It still seems reasonable to suggest that a decision put forward as being bad might not actually have been bad over the longer term. The appointment of ...

The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is there. But keeping it up would be a mammoth ballache. Need a computer program to track it.... Pretty sure I could do it in excel easily if I could be arsed to paste in the table regular...

You can bin the thread for another season guys. Next season it should start from 138 and be updated weekly on how many more points we still need to finish top. Standards must be raised. The temptation to set it up as: Champions - 138 Promotion - 138 Play offs - 138 Survival - 138 And track all 4 is...

Snowflake Royal Tomorrow really has to be Cheltenham's last chance. If they can't beat an already relegated bottom side at home, they can have no hope of survival.

But obviously there is no pressure on Carlisle any more so they may play in a much more relaxed way....

Ref badly positioned, couldn`t see the handball. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GKgYdovW8AAfipG?format=jpg&name=900x900 Yep. With his lino looking from the same side from an even narrower angle. Very good and brave lino seeing and calling that from the far side halfway line. Deserves a retrospecti...

Entire squad available for tomorrow except Hutchinson who barely counts. We've done a great job keeping players fit this season. We've had some injuries to Smith, Holmes, Dorsett plus a season KO to Ballard, but we haven't had constant ongoing chronic issues again. Which is fortunate as we would ha...

Snowball ALL POINTS
WILL BE DOUBLED
FOR REMAINING GAMES

That should help us to avoid relegation

tidus_mi2 I find Bindon hilarious just because of how furious I hear people get when he's got the ball at walking pace.

I can see both sides: can see why people get upset but then can see that, if he draws in another player, then there is an easier outlet to a, hopefully, free player.

What about Off at Eleven (OAE)? I vaguely remember that, but not what format it took. I first signed up to this portal when it was a shade of pale blue and lots of cascading messages down the page like a Windows Explorer tree, with titles of "X" then "Re: X" then "Re: Re: X...

Sutekh 13 straight league wins from the start of a season is currently the football league record. This record seems to get forgotten far too much being in the shade of 106.

Is that a league record or a professional football record?

The problem is that unusual results this close to the end of the season can have a really negative (or positive) impact. All being well and we win on Saturday against Lincoln and other results go our way then we would be nine points above the dotted line which, with four games to go would be a great...

I'll let someone involved in the campaign speak further but my view was that it was never about there being a benefactor model in football but ensuring there was governance around those to ensure we don't get into the same mess again. If the campaign was purely about having an owner than runs a clu...
