perhaps you should look on it another way. How does a part time club with little resources manage to achieve what a full time club with plenty of resources did? Not only that but a very small squad of players who fit football around their actual jobs. Their efforts should be applauded, not mocked.

More to the point perhaps Rob, who is obviously the font of all knowledge, could produce some more statistics/probability of why the above scenario occurs.

Much the same way we managed to grind out results when we were punching well above our weight in Div 1.

Everyone has as much chance as anyone. As big as some fans think we are it's been made clear that we don't have the biggest budget and as Newcastle have proved for a million years, having loads of fans home and away means intercourse all.

Braintree have done well, they try and knock it about and truth be told I'd much rather watch them than Cheltenham or FGR. Fair play to them...

Leicester, Northampton, Burton, this season is suffering from SmallClubItis. Wales to win the Euros will crown it!

I don't think you need a reason, Favourites aren't pre-destined to win. If a squad gels, gets a bit of luck, and rides the wave then the sky's the limit. It's almost impossible to repeat though it's just the nature of sport!

If true this is an absolute joke.  I don't normally advocate going in home ends and think we should play by the rules of other clubs but this would be a completely appalling move on their part.  Haven't missed a playoff game for a few years now yet don't think I would have any chance of getting tickets if they give us that few.

This season I think we took around 400 and there was plenty of space behind the goal and the bit at the side near the turnstile, I reckon you could have easily got 800+ in there.

Their away end holds 1,000 according to the footballgroundguide.com. Looking at the pictures of the away end it would be very difficult to segregate it effectively so I'd be very surprised if they don't give us at least the whole away end. They've never averaged over 1,000 fans and their record attendance was 4000 64 years ago against Spurs! Which means they've never filled the official capacity of their ground which is 4151. To give us only 600 would be a farce and would just lead to very large amounts of Town fans in the home end. Allegedly.
