Now if we get to the final crowds will be back but we will only get 5000 tickets. Does group A get first dabs? Isn’t it 10k if we played in the final we wouldn’t be allowed back in for the semis as it’s not before the 17th may ignore me Edited February 28 by radcliffewhite1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan 299 Posted February 28 Site Supporter Share Posted February 28 Forest Green play in Nailsworth which has a population just under 6,000 so it would be impressive if they did. Saying that, dunno if they attract support from elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benny The Ball 194 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 21 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said: A month ago I was thinking my heart couldn't take even the suggestion of a relegation battle going into the last dozen games. I would have snatched hands off for mid table never mind a chance of play offs. If we lose in the play offs, we start again on a level playing field in August, instead of giving everyone a 3 month start, it could be worse. I was thinking exactly on the same lines Difficult to put this "virtual" season in any sort of context, but for all those who remember our previous campaign at this level in 1987/88 after 31 games we were 3rd in the table on 52 points . Our next match was away at Wolves which we lost 4 nil and is remembered more for events off the pitch ( I dont think i saw any of the second half because of a line of police horses along the touchline ) Over those final 15 games we won just 7 drew 5 and lost 3 Don't think that level of performance will suffice to secure automatic this time around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MFM were the best team in the league by a country mile. Now Its time to show it on the pitch. If we start to play well for the whole game, we should blow these teams away. That said, I would still take 5 from the next 3. BTW, why wait for next season? Once the official “lockdown” is over & travel/overnight stays are allowed from 29 March, we’re off again. Risking a dig at Grimsby but you can see in at one specific area, and those pubs on the seafront will be open....

Eddie 303 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I’m convinced that at least 2 of the current top 3 won’t last and are already showing signs of cracking - we’ve caught up 8 points on top of the league in 5 games. I reckon we’re battling Tranmere and Salford and need to watch Bradford who are obviously on a very good run of form. It does seem like the “bigger clubs” with bigger budgets and squads will rise to the top this year more than ever with the amount of games left to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currently looking like 3 from us, Bradford, Tranmere, Cheltenham. Course it will change, its league two. After Saturday we've no more games against those so in that respect it won't be in our hands, relying on others to take points off them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FGR are still very strong for me, and with so many games amongst these top teams, it's too complicated to call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree FGR look strong, I'd put them 5th on the list, but can't be perfect with 3 goal defeats to Southend and Stevenage in last 3 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
