Now sold out. Bonkers.
I was talking to a Groundhopper at Rushden v Cambridge City during the week.

Even he is fitting in the game ..................... along with a bunch of others including Honington v Sidmouth this evening and Newton Abbot v Teignmouth tomorrow morning.

Honiton is almost certain to be called off, if it hasn't been already.

First visit to Lincoln for 18 years, I cannot remember what the city is like at all.
I don't get back all that often, but uphill is particularly nice, lots of good pubs and places to eat, plus some picturesque streets, cathedral, castle etc. If you've got a bit of time, I would head up there, then roll down for the game. We have a very decent fanzone behind the South Park stand but it's likely to be very busy with the match being a sell-out.

Favourite pubs are the Strugglers, Duke William (used to be my local) and personal favourite - Cardinals Hat on the upper High Street. All at least 20-30 min walk away though.

If time is tight, try either Imp and Angel, Tiny Tavern or Golden Eagle, all within walking distance to the stadium. As above, great fan zone at the ground too.

There are a couple of Spoons too.

Avoid the Anchor, Shakespeare and Millers as all home fans only.

Scrub that, it's on. I guess the lure of all the hoppers is too good to turn down. Might be a bit of a mud bath though..

Treaty of Commerce is home fans only too.
Mailbox, William Foster and still are also in the city centre

Oxford at home.

Despite Oxford having a good season, I’ve read a few opinions online from a portion of their supporters that they’re not playing as well under Buckingham as they did under Manning earlier on in the season. Couple this in that Hurst has had two weeks on the training ground to get our players fitness levels up which he repeatedly expresses in interviews that that’s our main downfall this season, I think we’ll be good for a point here tomorrow.

Salop 1-1 Oxford
It goes much deeper than a few poor performances. Put it this way, I'm so disenchanted I had to check who we were playing tomorrow. In fact, I hadn't even considered there might be a game tomorrow!

Some of the players aren't up to it, they downed tools at Bolton which said a lot. However there is a sizeable feeling of doubt, worry and concern about where the club is going. This hasn't helped by us posting £17k per day losses in our recent accounts. Next year that figure will look something closer £30k. We are spending money but it's unsustainable and spent so poorly.

Despite being in play off contention, few have any hopes of making it, we don't deserve it and if we do by a stroke of luck make it, it'll be because other teams below us fucked it up. We are so far off it both on and off the pitch most supporters feel utterly disengaged and just can't be bothered!

I thought you looked a decent team against us. Although we were absolutely dreadful. Knocked it about well, couple of good wingers, solid defence. It had all the makings of a playoff team. You looked better than some of the higher placed teams. To caveat that, it was like a training game.

Those losses are extremely worrying. I see Oxford as a fairly similar sized club to ourselves, with a reasonably similar history. Attendance is relatively similar to ours (maybe yours a bit bigger but negligible). Yet you seem to have a significantly bigger budget than us. Players like Leigh will be on a fortune. I believe you have very wealthy owners but from the outside it looks like a gamble on promotion that isn't looking likely.

Just about to head to Lincoln. Feels like a big game and there's the faintest of butterflies in the stomach. Losing Erahon is a real pain and will leave us vulnerable. I imagine Bishop will come in which gives us a ridiculous attacking midfield but I can't see any other option. I think we're just going to have to go for it and hope we outscore Orient. Safe trip up O's! UTI

Quite surprised Sky aren't showing any League One games this weekend. Plenty of Championship games on and, oh look, Wrexham.

We have our moments. I think that had more to do with your performance than anything. We don't have the mentality of a top side frustratingly. Against 'lesser' sides, we'll take points. Any side in the top half of the table, we won't.

Ironically Greg Leigh isn't even close be being a top earner. Yet when you have James Henry, Marcus Browne and more than 50% of Stuart Findlay's wages, that alone is roughly £13k of wages per week that aren't making the subs bench for most of the season. We are incredibly wasteful as a football club.

Superb from us today with only 3 defensive minded players in our starting XI. I don’t know what the level above gung-ho is called but this is it :lol:

Not even half an hour in and Orient are already time wasting at every corner and throw-in. At 0-0. Pathetic.

We've not quite clicked yet, few stray passes holding us back.

1-0 Vale through Garrity. Bit of a mix up at the back from Rovers but finished it off well. Probably about right on balance of play so far.

1-0 up and it would be more but for some heroic blocks from the Fleetwood defenders. Need that second goal though

Our gung-ho+ setup isn't really working. Orient have had far more chances. Apart from a golden chance for Taylor that he uncharacteristically spooned wide, we've not had much. We are winning the ball in good areas but the passing has been dreadful. Hopefully Skubala can sort things out at half time.

2 weeks rest, 8 days without training...same shite
2 of our players leave it for each other for the goal.
Vale the better of two poor sides so far. We played better v Lincoln and were 3 down at this point

Good game at Reading. Both teams probably think they should have scored. Reading had one off the line, Appere missed a one on one for us and Hoskins missed a decent chance too. Plenty of goalmouth action but we’re knocking it around well.

decent game so far, PFC deservedly ahead and always look dangerous on the attack, Kamara the stand-out.

First goal was a poor combo of us standing too far off PFC and a comedy deflection, but we equalised in short order afterwards.

I imagine this will end up in a PFC win, but we are at least being competitive, so no complaints so far.

We’ve been the better team and should be winning at HT but haven’t taken our chances. We need a goal as Oxford look dangerous on the counter and they surely can’t be as poor as they were first half.

Ok that is pure filth on that run and finish from Baylee Dipepa. Not much to shout about this season but this kid gives me hope.

Oh dear posh with one, if there was a possible combo of teams for a 4-3 from 0-3 it’s these two.

But glad for the away fans grabbing 3 and we still have a chance of a rare win

To be fair we have been crap this season it done ok vs the top sides for some reason, beat Bolton, could’ve beaten Portsmouth away, nearly beat Barnsley twice, drew twice with Stevenage etc etc

Don’t know why we just seem to work ok vs the better sides then disappoint vs the rest

Typocal Cheltenham, sit back and wait for the opposition to equalise. Fucking shite second half after such a good first. Fleetwood will win this now

Clear handball though before yet more pathetic defending

Will have to see the replay if there was. Great run by him. Your defenders haven’t fancied it when we’ve been running at you. Can see why Rovers fans would be annoyed tbh. Don’t think your keeper has helped, looked a little skittish.

Our defenders havent fancied it all season tbh.

We usually score goals through but now nothing in 4 games and Ripley might as well took a paper out with him to read today.
