    Forever in a rebuild…(long post)

    We do desperately need *something* from the club, even if it's just a statement of intent but on all fronts it's just a bit wet lettuce. Interesting comparison to Ipswich and I understand they're a "bigger club" blah blah but it's the defeatist attitude that gets me. We can be a championship...

    League 1 2024-25

    Going to be very competitive (understatement). Birmingham have to be favorites but Wrexhams revenue is championship level (huge sponsors and selling 50-100k shirts to Ryan Reynolds fans) so they'll be able to outbid most, including us obviously. Huddersfield are a big club at this level who...

    Patino & Jerry Yates

    Weird thing is they all say Jerry doesn't give any effort or press, he must be seriously unhappy there. No chance he comes back unless we go up, he will be on 15 grand a week and a league one loan makes no sense when they'll be quite a few lower champ clubs who will take him.

    Gabriel almost definitely” moving on this transfer window

    Absolute quality at this level and a great dressing room presence and great with the fans, need to be keeping him and actually playing him every week. If we lose him I don't have great faith in our ability to replace with similar quality and we already have too many positions which need...

    Its the time for some serious questions to be asked

    We are not a club with the resources to be able to guarantee success in this league, it takes a bit of building. But when you look at it, seemingly no team in league one has that ability. I remember in the past Wigan, Fulham, Cardiff going out and overpaying to get players better than league...

    Season Ticket 2024/25

    Yes, my first season back since 2002-2003.

    Shane Lavery

    Shame but everyone knew including him that this was his season to shine but beyond the first game vs Burton, even taking into account the injuries, he has not looked like a league one striker on a promotion seeking team. League 2/Conference/Back to Irish league i'm afraid.

    Oxford v Stevenage Match Thread

    Well , if we win both games we definitely have a decent chance with how others are bottling it. If the past has taught me anything it's that when Bloomfield Road is absolutely rocking we usually do the business.

    How many times have we scored 6?

    Definitely less times than York City have scored 6 against us , which was most times we played them if I recall

    Lavery

    Seems like a long time ago that he burst into the team in the championship and couldn't stop scoring, thought we had a star who we'd end up selling for 10 million. I really like him though as a person, not sure of his contract situation but assuming he has another year i'd keep him and hope he...

    Why I’ll renew whatever …

    For me it's the fact that for the first time in 40 odd years we have an owner with the best interests of the club at heart and despite my frustrations at Critchley and the style of football I love the club and would hate to reduce our ambition even 0.01% by not commiting to them in the way that...

    Has it always been like this?

    Kinda, yeah , the football was always pragmatic in the championship season but we accepted it because we understood we were trying to compete at a level where we were overmatched.

    Was Critchley applauding fans as they boo’ed?

    How times change, think it was west brom away where he stood staring at the fans with tears in his eyes as they gave him complete adulation.

    Season Ticket criteria next season?

    Will be my first year back on the Fylde since the early 2000's so i'll be getting one regardless, the last one I had was during the Colin Hendry season so i'm sure whatever we get will be preferable to that.

    How many 'high points' this season?

    I went every week for about 20 years where other than the 96 big Sam season we never had a hope of even threatening the Championship. The high point for me was when Steve Macmahon had us playing some decent footy and for one week around January time we were 7th in the table for a week or two...

    Is our recruitment policy flawed or just crap ?

    Doesn't matter how good the recruitment team is it's still going to be a struggle bringing in players who can instantly turn our fortunes unless we're willing to pay twice the going rate in wages, which we're not. To be honest i've lost track of the comings and goings since those blokes from...

    Which one would you choose

    Was definitely a gut punch after the elation of the double-penalty moment, I don't think i've ever seen that happen before or since. Anyway, yeah - i'd strategically eliminate a goal that would have kept us up that season. The 2nd season would have been a mighty struggle and might have delayed...

    Coventry - the team we should have been

    Yeah Coventry is a pretty large city , hence it's ruthless targeting by the Luftwaffe, around 400k I believe (I'm a bit of a population nerd). I'm struck by the comparison to Hull, promoted the same season, first season back we finished above them with very similar attendances. They're now...

    PNE

    Hate to say it but they are basically everything we are hoping we could one day be. Solidified in the championship. 4 sided stadium with ample capacity and facilities. Top 2 tier worthy training ground. If Simon Sadler achieves all of his objectives for the club over the next decade we may be...
