Really want to see some championsip footie in Bletchley next year. Pretty sick of league 1
But I cant see us making the automatic spaces and am worried about the playoffs.
I really dont understand selling baldock early in the season. If we had kept him we would of 100% gone up automatically in my view. O well.
This is my first post so you can take it as in introduction
Badly want promotion this year

I am taking it game by game, last week against Bournemouth was a great result, we have a fighting spirit, we would have lost this game a few years ago.
Today wont be easy as no games are, but I expect us to win.
Still concerned about not having a regular goalscoring striker, but as 2nd highest scorers, we have goals from unexpected sources.
Mind you fancy Mcdonald to score today.

Welcome here from "the other places" 4eva, and as Furz says, there are still a few old favourites posting on here...
The chances of promotion this season are actually a bit better than most people might think:
There's a 99% chance we'll finish in the playoffs at least, a 38% chance of promotion, and 17% we get promoted automatically in 2nd place...
Non-stattos heads could hurt a bit after visiting this useful site, but it's an interesting indicator of what could happen, if you're a fellow statto

15,000 would be a good guaranteed base income. In the Championship you need to be spending even more money on players (certainly to keep your best ones or they will go elsewhere) to attract players that are going to compete at that level.
If you have to rely on away fans to get to 15,000 then its going to be hit and miss - and the club becomes less financially stable. (sorry hasza - back off topic - but hey interesting debates)
And keeping up with the stattos - there is probably a 2% chance of me knowing what I am talking about

Moocamp asked a good question which is very relevant this discussion but on another article.
I dont know - can anyone help?
To thank and quote Moocamp on the question ...
"reading the paper this morning, there is a strong likelyhood (sadly) that Portsmouth will go bust and get taken out of the league.
Does this mean only the top 2 go up from our league, as only 2 would come down from the Campionship - am assuming 3 teams will still get promoted"
Another option would be that the sad loss of Portsmouth measn there is another slot in C'ship so 4 come up from L1, meaning one more up from L2 and one more up from Conference etc.
So what could happen?

I think that only 2 come down and 3 go up - but then (I think) that means 4 will have to come up from league 2 to league 1 (still 3 go down) and an extra team come up from the conference

All in all this weekend was fairly decent for us. WOuld of rather we got the 3 points but hey...never mind. Nobody else won around us
