    Better late than never!!

    Let’s hope this’ll mean we’ll never see another club go the same way as the likes of Hereford and Bury.

    3 wins in a row for us
    Play offs almost certainly gone (might need to win 9 of our last 13 to get there) but nice to be building a bit towards next season
    Mousinho showing some decent signs considering as a rookie we had no idea if he was good or not

    Up the Boro. Good place for Ramsey and Archer to be.

    We’ve gone on a great run of form since sacking Gowling. 4 wins, 1 draws and 2 defeats. Playing Chorley on Tuesday. They’re in the last playoff spot. Win and we’re only a point off. Lose and the seasons over.

    our season is done and i wouldn't be surprised to see us on a 7 game losing streak by end of the month with the fixtures we have. class idea to not sign a striker in January after Stewart does his achillies and Everton call back Simms. oh well.

    They both look like fantastic players at this level cant believe how close we are getting to automatic promotion now. We are playing the best football we have since the mid 2000s. My only worry is Carricks work cant be going unnoticed I bet a few teams are looking at him.

    I was thinking that the other day. Suspect you’ll be fine this summer whatever happens (surely better to take you up next season than a PL relegation battle with a new team) but next year he may go if you don’t go up.

    Huge news for Bury. If that vote passes then they'll be back at Gigg Lane with 2 mil in the back.

    As a guide we've had 589k of shareholder money in the last 8 years.

    Watching Boro atm is an absolute pleasure.... we need to liven this forum back up though dont we.

    Cant wait for the new EA sports golf game on a personal note... its like an EA game without all the ratty kids trolling you every 5 minutes (a la ultimate team)

    Thought they weren't in it for the money... :joy:

    That whole thread is worth a read - Wrexham lost 56k per week last season

    The National League stream service is being rolled out to NLN/NLS next season. I've just seen a break down of the finances and it's amazing for big clubs like us but dreadful for the smaller ones.

    For every steam it's £4.76 to team you support, 1p to home team and £4.73 to BT/NL

    So if 50 Hereford fans don't travel to an away match and buy a stream instead Hereford get £240, home club get 50p.

    Yep it’s similar in the FL which is what annoys Accrington’s owner, and we he tried to get their fixtures taken off of it
    Just lose a bunch of money from playing us on a Tuesday night because it’s harder to get our fans up there if they can watch it easily

    Don’t blame him for that tbf. It’s the home club who lose our financially so isn’t fair at all.

    Always looked a big ask to catch Sheffield United shame we have completely collapsed against a team fighting relegation to end our hopes. Need to just put this down to a bad day and get a couple more wins then see how the play off lottery goes.

    We are getting close to my wish after we sacked Cowley
    Which was to go a decent chunk past 70 points and push up close to the play offs, I’d expect us to come up short of actually coming 6th but wanted to finish properly
    On to 61 points now with 7 to go

    In the last month we've got from a playoff battle to a relegation battle. 5 clear with 4 to play. :grimace:

    Just watching on sky sports
    Other league 1 games on Friday had a Burton player on the line palm a shot around the post (nothing given)
    And Oxford getting a penalty for a player tripping over a player who was already on the ground
    It’s actually farcical

    Anyone know much about what Marcus Bignot is like as a manager? Seems he was at our match yesterday.

    Im just glad its in a game that didnt matter really. I dont trust VAR if we're at Wembley after Huddersfield werent given 2 blatant pens in last years play off final either. Hopefully we wont be talking about refs after the big games.

    Absolutely true
    The league 1 one this year they organised in such a weird way as well… Clarke-Harris at number 10 with Windass up top
    And LWB Leif Davis at CB with Santos at LB
    It’s like they couldn’t even be bothered to do it properly
