No Saturday game since 24th October.
No Saturday home win since 29th August :shock: :shock: :shock:
Just Boxing Day then only Yeovil in January

Meanwhile there are a lot of distractions and other things to do.
Loads of water and no electric.
Bournemouth beat Man Utd 6 years to the day, wearing our shirts.
Dagenham play Everton in the 3rd round
Pompey also in 3rd round for a triple whammy
Leicester top of the Premier,
England play Wales on Mohawks Birthday
Arsenal v Barcelona
Man Utd in Europa League
Christmas parties
More Birthdays :o

We really need some good news, anybody got any?

Playing bottom team on Saturday but still to find anyone confident :?

Things have never felt so flat. Its like the season has finished already.

Lets hope for a couple of good home performances to get things moving again.

on a positive note, a back log of home fixtures hopefully in better weather.

and also give people more time to get over and forgive the team after blowing a golden chance of a FA cup run.

ave not been back since.

Yes, the pull of Tuesday night fixtures in January and February will get the crowds flocking back, hope they get Sat Navs for Christmas

did not realize the rescheduled dates.

Exeter wont be that big a deal. although we all know Pompy Travel well in Numbers, could be talking 400 extra away fans what would have come up on a Saturday.

pity there not Friday night one's, most people get early finishes from work and have no work to get up to.

Disagree from a purely selfish point of view. Hate Friday fixtures and, in spite of having a season ticket, would probably miss it. Very disappointing that we've missed out on so many Saturdays so far this season.

The real issue is if you play on Friday, you don't play Saturday

The D&R debacle is still costing us in every manner. We had a chance to at least lesson the pain against Cambridge but decided not to bother turning up and to stick with the aimless hoofing and have not really bothered with any football since. What sounded like a damp squib of a game against Fleetwood has added to the 'season over' feeling.

It could all have been so different. Can you imagine how we'd all be buzzing with the thought of playing Everton? Confidence would have been high and we'd be loving this season.

Looking for something positive? Well, we're not Lancaster or Kendal...

True Keith, Stringy and Swanny have left their position at Kendal.

I read that although Kendal had cut their budget recently and released players it was all part of the plan. They front loaded their budget for the first half the season to ensure they got through the early rounds of the FA cup and trophy so picked up prize money which apparently they did and then they would always reduce the budget in the second half of the season.

That's not such a crazy idea when you think about it. They did say the management team achieved their objectives so maybe they feel annoyed that they achieved but still lost players.
