Moving on?

[CFC91]

Bloody hell if I knew it was going to be that easy I wouldn’t have even bothered

As my tongue in cheek comment was met with such stern replies of the same ilk, some spoken in better English than others I’ll have a friendly £50 with one of you for a charity local to the area that we finish higher in League 2 than you do in League 1 next season.

 

[AdamStag]

Always keep 1 league apart.

Must be awful having an extra season in the conference than mansfield did, all those years fantasising over playing mansfield - finally making it and we’ve fucked off

History suggests we are usually one league apart, but usually the other way around. First time in League one in 25 odd years, we’ve probably had 10-12 years at that level in that time.

Tell you one thing that is always 1 apart, the number of stands we have in our grounds.

I’m glad you’ve fucked off having the seen the size of the budgets of the top 3. We are nowhere near that level so I’m happy as it gives us a better chance next season. Just need MK to win the play offs for the clean sweep

I’ll take the offer of a friendly wager as a no. Maybe the Brexit Benidorm stag will have a fancy, I’ll even do the current conversion for him into Euros

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Even if the facts I suspect are a little off now that history of the respective clubs has been mentioned that nearly always results in Adam going very quiet.

Handy, very handy indeed when giddiness appears to take over the young man.

Surely you'd have to be drunk to take that bet, you've identified thr right.man.

Oxford have 3 stands too, they’re also better than you, and like us, i bet they don’t give a toss what others think about it.

I’m pleased after 6 years you’ve finally made it, we’ve a few loan players we could offer you now in fairness.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

You personally may not give a toss but I strongly suspect, the owner/chairman, chief executive, board of directors, director of Finance and even the ticket office manager do. The people who are involved in the clubs finances.

Of course a lot of Mansfield fans do give a toss it's been a hot emotive topic amongst supporters for a long time now. But Adam has chosen to ignore that fact.

Tbh with safe standing being all the rage currently Mansfield are in a position better than most they haven't got to take out any seats to create it. Just building a stand with a roof.

Problem solved, increased revenues.

Out of interest how many clubs only have 3 stands in the EFL? Oxford, Mansfield and ??

 

[ForzaCounty]

Gillingham have three stands and a rusted Meccano set

Gillingham have three stands and a rusted Meccano set

Also i’ve never been convinced there’s a 4th stand at morecambe down the pitch either, more just looks like a wall to stop people getting in

 

[Conker]

Yeah quite a few sides claim to have a 4th, and it’s clutching at straws.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

It's shit, it looks shit but it definitely still counts as a fourth stand.

Anymore for anymore?

 

[AdamStag]

Interesting that posters only ever focus on a 3 sided ground than the football, easier to focus on a stand than being inferior on the pitch i suppose

Also interesting how a select few posters conveniently ignore their football clubs history on the pitch if it doesn't do them any favours.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Neither of those things are in the slightest bit interesting

 

[Conker]

I would take a tinpot scaffold stand btw, but only for one season, past that your taking the piss.

Yeah agreed, there’s going to be some decent followings next season, rotherham, potentially, lincoln, 2 of sheff weds birmingham, huddersfield - assume northampton still don’t travel away?

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Anything is a big upgrade on advertising hoardings. Taking the piss is an upgrade on continued embarrassment.

It's got to be about maximising revenues especially in L1

 

[Amber Nectar]

Someone's got their knickers in a twist I don't think he can handle little old Mansfield doing better than Notts.

quite odd really, mansfield being better than county is hardly anything new.

 

[Amber Nectar]

Very odd. I've personally got nothing against Notts and have even watched the odd game or two of theirs when ours have been postponed but he's trying to push a rivalry bit too much. Yes Notts are our rivals too some degree but Chesterfield are our proper rivals, always have been and always will be.

Of course they will be, notts are one of those billy clubs where they’ve no mates. Derby are forests rivals like chesterfield are ours. Like you i’ve nothing against county, they’re like your little loyal lapdog you can pat on the head from time to time.

 

[クレイグ]

Don't think we've got any proper rivals. People will claim Leeds, but that's like claiming the two little girls selling lemonade for charity are rivals with Coca-Cola.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Well looks like they are now all out in force to defend the bus stop. A really close band of brothers who evidently don't give a toss.

Adam must be younger than I thought, it just very selective with his memory and facts.

Not just a proper rivalry but a toxic one. It's just so important especially when you don't venture too far up the pyramid. Proper rivals although prefer not to play each other

 

[Richard Cranium]

Looks like we’ll be joining the 4th stand club soon. Confirmed by Radford out our end of season awards dinner tonight, apparently be open for the 2056/25 season. Hallelujah

Wait, what? another 32 years?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Ooops celebrations still going strong here

 

[Conker]

From what I’ve heard second hand the plans are substantial too. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.

As in purchasing the properties behind? or?

They’ll be pissed at county when we’re better than them and have 4 stands

We won't even care, as you say we're not really rivals. Still, enjoy your moment in the sun, promotions are hard won and for most clubs quite rare.
Having four stands will definitely make it feel better as the other three stands are decent enough.
We spent years with just executive boxes behind the goal and an expanse of ash and a brick wall and it was rubbish.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Non-league section's died on here hasn't it? Not sure if I can be arsed to move to the other place though.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Turns out a least a couple of Staggies give a toss after all.
