In fact stick a tenner on, then if it all goes wrong at least your season ticket is paid for next season.
However I cannot see Gillingham or Fleetwood getting the wins they need.

I'm not, at all, a betting man but that sort of idea looks tempting. Is there a better way of doing it, though?
Like individual bets on Gillingham win, Fleetwood win and Morecambe loss - a treble?

Our squad was cobbled together at the last minute after DA jumped ship, hardly ideal! I sincerely hope you stuff Fleetwood for obvious reasons but didn’t realise you had issues with them? For a small town they can be a nasty bunch though. Knew you had issues with Blackpool going back many years but why Fleetwood? Anyway just stuff them will ya please and hopefully take the lovely Mr Pilley down a peg or two!
Finally it’s nice to talk with a decent Bolton fan. Hopefully the incidents earlier in the season can be put to rest and we can resume some form of good terms next season! All the best.

Hey payed money for Jonah, hand picked Duffus from non league and chucked a wedge of the budget on the likes of AOC and Obika. We heard time and again that he had watched his sigings prior to getting the job here.

Cobbled or rushed it's all semantics. Fact remains that by the time he started assembling a squad a substantial chunk of the close season had elapsed. It seemed incredible that it took 2-3 weeks to sign 19 players with what seemed indecent haste. Not blaming Steven Robinson , that's the hand he was dealt and he had to act fast before the transfer window closed. For me by and large his loan signings in the early part of the season promised a lot but delivered little. McAlmont and McPake plus Jokull seemed masterstrokes but never quite took off. Jones also never truly impressed.
In short thank goodness for the footballing genius known as Stockton without whom we'd have been relegated by February!
Who knows what next season will bring. DA can possibly work another footballing miracle and keep us competitive. We live in hope and at take comfort in the fact that the club still seems on an upward trajectory!
