    All the best everyone. It’s been fun for four years and we pulled off some memorable wins, particularly the first two seasons. But the last two have been awful and I’m relieved it’s finally all over. Hopefully we’ll be back at some point in the next five years and we can make a better fist of it.

    Oh totally. But at this stage of the season anything is possible.

    Unfortunately we will be down before kick off if Rovers beat Reading at lunchtime. We blew our chance on Monday sadly.

    Good Friday fixtures

    Brilliant win yesterday but somehow I’d rather the life support had been pulled rather than prolonging the suffering of the patient. If we somehow beat Orient on Monday then the impossible is on. But I think they’ll be far too good for us and we’ll lose.

    2025 promotion thread

    Do you think they’re out of reach? I mean, you’ve still got to play both Wrexham and Wycombe so potential to make up points there. Wycombe have Stockport too and I wouldn’t say Wrexham’s away games are straightforward at all.

    League 1 General Chat Thread

    Finally able to get on this site again. This is actually the one blessing for us getting relegated. My favourite moment was when they said they were the better team when thrashed 7-0 by Barnsley.

    2025 relegation dogfight thread

    We’ve got: Wigan (a) Peterborough (h) Northampton (h) Shrewsbury (a) Burton (a) I was looking at our home games before yesterday’s game - Stevenage, Boro, Northampton, Orient and Charlton are all pretty close, then we have Birmingham and Wrexham who are going for promotion. Piece of cake…..!

    Tuesday 4 March fixtures

    The police hounded us in there then didn’t let us out til kick off. This was about 10-15 years ago. Yeah the memory has traumatised me since.

    In fairness, the worst pub I’ve ever been to was the Blue Anchor in Lincoln. If that’s something to judge Lincoln on then the chant was accurate haha.

    Tuesday 4 March fixtures

    Our game was awful. Seriously bad. And the fact Stevenage were terrible yet way better than us was depressing. Honestly that was one of the worst games of football I’ve ever seen, no exaggeration.

    Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

    As I said, best to stick 8,000 down, to be on the safe side.

    Saturday 1 March fixtures

    The general consensus on our message board is we can’t understand how the first goal was given. It was a definite foul on the keeper. We got a massive break there. Both were reds as you say. I don’t know what Hepburn-Murphy was thinking of with that. Gibbons’ challenge was just one of those...

    In lieu of any official number, just stick 8,000 down for us.

    Best we don’t mention 92 hey, but 90 was pretty good too.

    I think the Conference format is good but as you say it only works because only one goes up automatically so ultimately only brings down to 7th into contention. I do like the notion of giving the higher ranked team home advantage and would agree with that rather than two legs for the play offs.
