5th place would have landed us an away trip to who ever finishes 4th not who finishes 2nd.

There is more prize money for finishing higher up the table. I think there's a bit of a difference between 5th and 6th funding.

I was expecting us to just consolidate this season, playoffs would have been a bonus, but i think 6th all things considers should be classed as a good season.


York have bent the rule book by finishing so high but still very unlikely they will go up.

Not sure how they've bent the rule book. With Yorks run in, think they'll probably finish 5th though, so 6th isn't outrageous and I'm sure plenty of our young players will have learnt a lot this season. Get the FB situation sorted and hopefully have a consistent 6/7,s should see us improve.

The play-offs aren't completely out of reach just yet.

Well, I'm sure he can answer for himself but I'd guess he meant to say that York had bucked the odds, rather than bent the rule book and I'd have to agree with that - they've definitely overperformed this season after getting promoted.

Wonder how they'd have gone on without the D/R and loanees though? I prefer our way of using our own players. We know where we are at. Otherwise, I'd agree with you about our position - pretty much where I'd hope we'd be. In the five was always a very best position at best and certainly never expected by me.

It does exist, and the alternative accommodation has to be a min. 16K stadium within 5 miles. I have no idea, though, where that could be.

I calculated on the back of a fag packet that if you travelled at 99.9999% light speed then it is less than 5 miles to the Nou Camp, but I'm not convinced the old bus is up to it.

Come now old bean! This is the age of DePfeffel Johnson, we just have to remember the empire, believe hard enough and be chirpily optimistic about everything! We shall have clean water and mars bars!!!!!

Having wwatched the full game back last night, with more integration into the team I dont think we should be looking further than Brown at FB for now. He linked really well into the line and showed good links with Joe. Can only improve the more he plays

We should move to Horton Cricket Ground. It's where we played our first game, failing that we could move to Apperley Bridge, then Park Avenue then Dudley Hill just to see history repeat itself.

Or even Birch Lane

No problem, I won't repeat what he said out of respect but made interesting reading.
