Southwood will be gone, irrespective of which division we're playing in. 100% certain of that.

Re: Your pre match routine

My pre-match routine mostly involves caffeine and ibuprofen, these days. Oh...hang on...you mean for going to the football? Sorry, that was my badminton match routine.

Yea, leave house, drive 20-odd miles to Cheltenham, park, walk in just before kick-off.

Re: Information for fans travelling to Oxford on Saturday

Hmm... Looking at the estate, I find it hard to believe anywhere will be showing the egg-chasing so I might have talked myself out of going. Not sure I want to sit and watch it on my phone in the car-park. It'll be full of despair, I'm sure - and I mean both the footy and the rugby - with the added ...

What? Hiring Wade "on the cheap"?
Which resulted in a big paid off...
Not in the latest set of published accounts, it didn't. Ergo, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the £500k loss.

Re: NO MORE PENNY PINCHING IN L2 NEXT SEASON

Going down the cheap route hiring Wade Elliot as a replacement for Michael Duff. Harsh, considering he took us to our second ever highest finish in the EFL with more wins than under Duff. He might have been unable to stop the rot at the start of this season, but it's impossible to say that, overall...

I read "based on average home attendance" as the average HOME attendance (I.e. not including 'away' fans) - but I guess it could be interpreted as the average attendance at home games.
