This isn’t a new rule. It’s been there for some time and all clubs including Gateshead were aware. Some clubs have a 10 year lease which runs out in the next few years such as Oxford where the lease runs out in 2026 so they need a new lease or new ground for the 26/27 season

Hmm, not sure what a rope to tie up an animal has to do with these rowing puns 🤔

We win next game. Bolton loose and Portsmouth loose. We go into the last game with 2nd confirmed, and a chance to still secure the title. COYR.
Loose?

After the last game, who knows? A no score bore draw

I think the recent defeat will be terminal for us., not least because it’ll give the chasing pack added incentive and impetus. They will take their chance and I fear that we won’t be able to cope with a severely depleted squad.
Of course, I hope I’m wrong.Thinking back, we’ve probably had only about 6 games when we’ve played really well and looked like promotion hopefuls. The rest of the games we have, though won, looked quite poor with just flashes of excellence. With our injuries piling up, it’s so difficult to be optimistic. Where’s B4 when you need him………

I know we are all feeling down but let’s wait to find out what our expected goals were before we all start panicking.
My expected goals were to expect some goals

It's weird that instead of Radio Derby commentary, the audio feed is Rams TV. Listening to TV commentary on the radio is incredibly uninformative. They were saying they thought Elder was coming on. Though it hasn't happened yet. I presume that means either Tommo or Hourihane are coming off and Sibley is moving into midfield to offer more goal threat?
It’s also on Talksport2. Still sounds crap though

2-1 I’m afraid Waggy

All these stats leave me cold. If they win and we draw and the third team lose and the second win etc etc. If my aunt had b******* she’d be my uncle etc. If we could predict accurately we would all be millionaires. Just take it a game at a time

Had to ask for a cushion at full time to hide my modesty as it was beginning to show.
Was it one of those doll’s house 1 inch square cushions?

One thing's for certain... it wasn't full.
My seat was empty, due to me being on a hospital bedside vigil from 3pm yesterday until we said goodbye to my almost-93 year old F-I-L at 17:15 today, at which stage I was still none the wiser as to the fantastic news emanating from the other side of town!
I'm gonna leave the matchday thread catch up for now, as I'm shattered, suffice to say, I hope each and every one of you who did turn up have had a bloody fantastic day.What. A. Result!

I think you’re completely missing my point. Yes it was pretty full and the figure he gave probably wasn’t far off but how can he say “it WILL be…….” before most of us had gone through the turnstiles?
It’s no big deal if the attendance they announce is actually tickets sold rather than actual bums on seats. I was just trying to put to bed the speculation as to which is used.
Semantics. How many people understand the difference between “will” and “should” or “could”. Yes I know they ought to but they don’t. However, given the dwindling number of tickets available on official announcements, it seems perfectly reasonable to make the assumption that this would be a record attendance. In fact, I, as a Grammar Nazi, would have said “it looks like it will be....” rather than “could”

Much as I love this club and forum I may have to log off for the next 15-20 mins.
Not sure my nerves can take it!
Same here but it’s my heart I’m worried about

Erm, the only way we aren't playing Lincoln next season is if we don't go up.

I’m 78 this year and retired in 2011. I worked on British Aid projects in developing countries mainly in Africa but I’ve carried on doing odd bits since. But only one visit a year now, the whole airport experience can get a bit much and 2 weeks in, say, Nigeria, is enough for me now.
