York and Daggers Relegation Thread

[Optogas]

Thread title updated accordingly. Sob!

So who will win the battle to the National league, who will be first to reach the massive televised coverage by Bt sports. Just think potentially one of you could be replaced by Braintree town, would they even be allowed up with their ground?

I think they'd be able to meet the entrance criteria in time but then to stay in the league they'd have to further work on the ground.

 

[Optogas]

The thought of Braintree or Dover in the league....... Will make the Daggers look massive

 

[rudebwoyben]

I play Darts with a mate at Uni who supports York. Every Wednesday it's like a shit performance survivor's group.

I'm surprised that you two haven't tried to jab your own eyes out with them to spare you from witnessing any more performances by your teams this season.

THE DAGGERS AINT DONE YET

 

[EricSabin]

THEY ARE STAYING UP

 

[Gashead]

Oh brilliant, here comes the great escape. I wonder who Daggers have last game of the season?

 

[E10rifle]

Wonder if there's a 4-figure crowd there tonight...?

Still, this will be a two-game winning run come 5pm on Saturday.

Braintree would be ridiculous.

Not many of you will have gone, I've played football in a bigger ground than that. Not only that it's in the middle of nowhere compared to the town and if you get one snowflake in Stockholm their pitch is waterlogged for a month.

It's like an even more tinpot crap version of Accrington - which in itself is an achievement. (just doing well in their league)

 

[CrazyImp]

You L2-ers have got a pretty grim choice of options on the whole to be honest - FGR, Dover and Braintree are all very unpalatable. When you're hoping Grimsby come up, you know it's not a great situation.

Noo, Grimsby should stay down there

 

[StagsForLife]

I'll take Cheltenham and Grimsby. Best of a bad bunch really.

I'd take Braintree, local game for us and we'd probably out number them.

 

[Youpies]

Life in the Dagger dog?

 

[shoddycollins]

Tranmere would be more than welcome. Realistic possibility in fact of the two who went down both coming back up.

The smallest glimmer of hope. Pompey at home on Saturday, if we somehow get a win there we'll see

I had a weird dream last night that we beat Morecambe and it sealed our survival. Obviously not quite the same as reality but it gave me a new sense of positivity going into the game today. And whilst it's completely unlikely that we'll survive, I think I chewed Murphy's ear off at the game tonight about how we can't give up hope yet. Yes it's unrealistic and we've all resigned ourselves to relegation and when/if it happens, it won't come as any great shock. But we all go to football matches in the hope that our team wins and until it's mathematically impossible, we can't give up hope.

7 games to go and I think if we can hit 45 points, we'll do it. 5 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. Very, very tough. But who knows, Yeovil, Newport and co have all had little bursts of form at some stage of the season. Maybe, just maybe, we can go on a little run now. I can dream anyway.

 

[Murphy]

This awful because there's now a glimmer of hope and part of me that thinks it's possible when we all know we're getting dicked 4-0 at home to Pompey at the weekend to seal our fate once and for all.

 

[BeesKnees]

I'd like to see Daggers and York scare the life out of Stevenage but it's a huge ask now.
Looks like Cheltenham have conf title, have a suspicion that Wrexham might sneak into the play-offs at the last minute and if they do their current form is good.

Let me help to put your mind at rest. there is jno glimmer of hope. You are gone. Stop hoping because its the hope that kills you. You have zero chance of staying up.

 

[Murphy]

Oh yeah, I know we're still going, but there's a glimmer. I'll take the glimmer!

Can you be already gone by the time you get to us, hate watching other teams get relegated

Although it's a lot better than watching your own doing the same...

1,233 fans turned up.

Don't worry, unless we win on Saturday we'll likely either go down away at Orient or at home to Wimbledon.

Will be sad to see you guys go, you have always had your backs to the wall, fighting against the odds. It was when you beat us 2-0 at the mem in 2014 that I realised we were in serious danger of going down to the conference.

All sides would be welcome afaic. While Grimsby would be my preference mainly because of their excellent travelling support, if they don't come up then I'd rather see one of the smaller sides coming up than an ex league side whose fans haven't yet come to terms that football is played on a pitch and club size/history means f.a.

We spent 9 years down there and very few of us U's fans moaned about the sugar daddy clubs. Likewise, the Tranmere fans, who to their credit have also accepted that they're a non lge side for a reason, and this after less than a year since they went down. Luton fans also accepted this fact after a few years playing nl footy, and Grimsby fans have also started seeing things differently. Which is the way it should be.

Anyway, the ex league clubs with 3 or 4 times the support of the sugar daddy type clubs can easily compete for the better players and promotion. If they aren't then that usually means either their club is badly run or their BOD is taking them for a ride. Unless, of course, they don't really want to get promoted for a variety of reasons, with the most common ones being home crowds will drop off or the club prefers challenging at the top end of the Conf than just being a bottom 4 L2 side.

Who does that leave then? Wrexham? Brovers?

I used to like Wrexham, and wanted them to go up, but changed my mind. Read any football forum on the web and you'll see the way a large number of their fans still feel. I see them as the biggest moaners.

Can't really be sure about Rovers because they were only relegated from the League on the last day, in an unfortunate manner. Then they also spent only one season in the connie so there's wasn't enough time to judge them.
