Time to reflect
My criticism of Gardiner was totally unjustified but a reflection of how I feel about this season . I just never expected it too happen again so soon and it caught me out mentally . It just drunk me off to the point I got bored with it all and any player seemed fair game for criticism.
I know where the club is at financially and I know any top half finish  in LG2 is about as good as it will get . All I want is a team who can pass, trap the ball and give 100% for our incredible fans

The new TV deal. Lots of fixtures kick off at lunchtimes. Likely to see lots less away fans. Ok the rules will be the same but it's likely to have a different "feel".


I don’t think this “new format” will be quite as disruptive as many people seem to think. There will be 248 League Two games broadcast in total next season, accounting for 44.5% of all games played, which does sound a lot on the surface. However, the lion’s share of these will be games already planned to be played outside the 3pm blackout; e.g. Tuesday evenings and bank holidays. These games won’t need to be moved, and in most instances will be a kind of iFollow-plus service via the Sky Red button (minimum 2 camera angles, neutral Sky commentary, but not the punditry and other bóllocks you get with traditional Sky broadcasts).

Each weekend, there will be an average of 2.5 League Two games allotted a full broadcast selection, which equates to about 21% of each weekend’s round of fixtures. You would expect to find a Town game moved something like every 5th weekend, so presumably that equates to around 6 games across the season no longer being at 3pm on a Saturday. Exactly when those games will be I’m not certain, presumably any time from Friday night to Sunday lunchtime (there’s little point in Sky pitting League Two games against its “Super Sunday” product), but I don’t see it as being the end of the world. It’s not unusual for our games to be moved by the police anyway.

Personally, I think the improvements to the quality of coverage, the additional games broadcast (e.g. every League Cup game) and of course the money that comes with it are worth the disruption to fixtures, which is relatively minor imo.
