Re: 1 to 24 prediction year 23/24

Play offs are a lottery but here’s my logic: We’re stronger than last year The league is weaker than last year We got away with a few (Ipswich at home for example!) but a few games we could’ve nicked a few more points A few of the stronger teams may go bust Plus I think Elliot is a very underestimat...

Re: Shrewsbury away ?

I’m taking a car load of 4. We went to ZERO away games last year.

If we’re indicative then it may be a better attendance than expected.

My guess at away attendance is 567

Re: Alfie May bid

What great business this is. Spend £5k - get 60+ goals - then sell for over £200k

Of course all the pie-in-the-sky merchants will be ‘demanding’ we get £500k (or any other figure they dream up on their sofa)…but we’re such a well run club.

Love it: well done all involved

Re: Gloucestershire (FGR) news - Manager set to depart.

I extend Hannah Dingley the courtesy of wishing her what I wish for all the other (ever increasing) list of FGR managers.

I hope she fails spectacularly, loses every game she manages, and gets sacked at some point in the season having dragged fgr nearer to relegation.

That’s equality in action kids
