I'd buy AFC Wimbledon and move them to Milton Keynes as well just for a laugh.

This needs supporting by as many people as possible. 

Also, why not encourage as many people and businesses as possible to put scarves/flags/shirts in their windows? We need to be visual too, show that the support isn't just online.

Still 8000 tickets available for this one. Might be our last ever game. 

Come on.

This proof of funds stuff. Why not start selling next seasons season tickets?

because no one will buy a season ticket for a club that might not exist next season

Agree. Don't expect a completely unchanged side but we may as well put out a decent team, prize money plus a tasty 4th round tie vs one of the big boys on telly might just keep us ticking over.

duck IT Lets crack on.

Currently means minus 3. So we need 26 points from our remaining games to equal Rotherham's record of lowest total of 23. (17/18). Anything north of that keeps us away from another unwanted record.

Nice measurable and achievable target, that gives the rest of the season some meaning.

Oh and start a full strength side in the cup, why not!

If Deontay Wilder beats Tyson Fury on Saturday we will stay up.

A true fan makes sure they haven’t got anything else on, ie send out fixture list to all your friends and relatives so they organise weddings etc during the off season or international breaks?

So, when you say no excuses you mean none other than yours?

I’m just trying understand your logic. You say only those attending on Saturday can be classed as true fans. Yet, you can’t go…

I can’t make any of the 3 games in August, due to family commitments. I must be way down the list of fans, probably somewhere between half and fair weather fan. Despite having a season ticket the past 10 years and still waiting for this years. And don’t even mention my dad with his Parkinson’s who can’t get to every game nowadays…

All I’m suggesting is that people think before making these grand statements about others.

WHOOOOOOOSH

I mean, bloody hell where are the squad

FTFY

No excuse not to turn up and support the lads. If you don't go to this one when they really need you then you cant consider yourself a true fan.

I personally cant make it this weekend, but i hope to get to one soon.

Any U23 Connoisseurs know if any left backs are on their way through?

If so we will probably sell Lee for the right fee.

No, but it's certainly the most depressing period as far as this forum goes  ?

Christ. whats the worst that can happen?

We get relegated? I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates.

Administration? Points deduction? Relegation. I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates.

Club wound up and we start again in the isthmian league. I'll still go. A few new grounds. Still sing, still moan, still have a good time with my mates. etc etc.

We cant control any of it lads and ladies, enjoy your life. Football will still be there to dictate ours saturday evening moods forever.

With the probability of having a weaker squad than last season, what are you expecting ?

The question wasn't what do I expect, it was what would I satisfied with.

Average number of wins for a 21st placed team for the last few years is 11.5.

Means 35 games where we lose or draw.

Mean winning 1 in 4 games this season.

2 wins in 8, 3 in 12. etc etc

Anyone who says they will be satisfied with that is a liar. 90% of people who have said scrape survival will be screaming for rooney out after a few games.

Does the absence of strikers and the armband given to Tom suggest he will be playing more centrally this season? Presumably in the 10?

Good luck to him. I've lots of mates who have made daft mistakes in their early 20s and matured in their later 20s and with a bit of focus, are now doing well for themselves. Sometimes a baby, a missus or a new job can be that spark needed. Fingers crossed.
