What to do?

Postby Aspers » Wed Mar 02, 2016 3:44 am

Each morning I wake up and by lunchtime manage to get a minute to go on the BBC and check the results.
I then come on here and read the comments.
Surprisingly few negatives at the mo, but maybe that's because you're all still in bed!.

I've always said we're punching above our weight, but on the other hand loving the fact we are playing league football.

I still don't think we'll get relegated, only just, but I think we'll survive this year. A few more points would make life more bearable.

Just refused a business trip over in June, trying to change it to Sept. No point being there out of season.

My thoughts and respect are with you all who follow the team both home and those that can, away.

I never go away from home but rarely miss home games, I defy anyone to say that, at the moment it is ,at best a chore to do so , attendances obviously reflect this , there is basically a ''nothing to play for'' feel about the whole place now, going away to anything is always a mini adventure, so when you make your journey next season you'll have a good time regardless, hopefully we'll still be in league 2 Aspers :lol:

Here's hoping! We were Blackpool's first opponents in a competitive match after being relegated from the Premiership and now they are getting perilously close to joining us in League Two!

Might not be that busy, like us, they are losing fans rapidly, and with the rise of Fylde, Blackpool could soon be their areas third biggest club.

A possible derby game against Blackpool depends on two things- one Blackpool are relegated and two we are still a football league team. We still need points to escape the drop and Macclesfield's fate of several years ago serves as a warning to us that a seemingly safe league position can quickly change.

It would be massively busy.

Blackpool fans support their team on their travels en mass as they don't watch them at Bloomfield in protest at the Oyston regime, so they all make up for it by travelling away in big numbers.

All the hardcore 'Not a penny more' brigade only travel to games that are pay on the gate, a Morecambe-Blackpool match at the Globe would be more than likely all ticket

I agree, we are not out of it by a long chalk. Mathematically we could still go down. Macclesfield is a warning of what can happen when you think you are all but safe. We definitely need more points, when we have to play the bottom 2 as well as Hartlepool, who have already beaten us. We cannot rely on the bottom teams losing from now until the end of the season as generally it doesn't happen, teams fight to the death.

Would love the bottom four in L1 to stay the same. Derbies against Blackpool, Oldham and Crewe and a trip to Colchester to see my mate for the weekend!

No we weren't, I would have remembered that!. From memory we played them in 2012 and they were in the PL in 2010.

They had Ince , Phillips and Taylor-Fletcher to name 3. It was their first season back in the Championship after being in the Premier League. They reached the play-off final but lost and after that its been all downhill.

Still think the 3 of you are wrong.

I remember the game because my wife at the time was 8 months pregnant and at the game.

Correct. They were relegated in 2011 and we played them a year later.

think we could be mistaking that we were the first team to have played them after Ian Holloway left them

he did keep them all together apart from

DJ Campbell to QPR
Charlie Adam to Liverpool
And another player with his surname begining with "V" who went to Sunderland

Apologies, it was their second season. I knew their previous game was against West Ham, but forgot that it was at Wembley in the Play Off Final.
