Personally I think FGR deserve to be promoted. They've gone close the last few years and keep coming back year after year . They haven't spent stupid money on players the last few years compared to what they used to and have serious plans for a new stadium which will grow their fan base . Let's not forget a team like Accrington only average about 1800 at best and no one slates them .


A football team should represent a community. The local population is so small that it doesn't deserve one of the 72 places in the FL. I don't care how the club is organised and what they do with their finances, it's an artificial entity. We have seen it before with Rushden and Diamonds (aka Rush out and buy them). FGR will fizzle out when their owner loses interests them and the club will not be able to afford to even pay their way and they'll end up having to start at the bottom of the pyramid like AFC Rushden had to. When you compare their tiny population with that of Birkenhead it's a no-brainer who "deserves" to go up. Notwithstanding the second place by default should be the fair option for a neutral.

Whoever wins the game over 90 mins , ET or pens deserves to go up .

The owner is a savvy businessman who knows how to run things , if he has to run it to rules once they're in the league I'm pretty sure he'll be able to .

We're looking for PP to generate a income stream when it's built as FGR will with their eco stadium.

We're looking to grow our match day attendance with a new ground as they will .

They'll be sustainable. It's in their identity as a club .

If you want to dig out a club for being unsustainable let's get stuck into Bournemouth

They didn't get attendances of 2000 this season when they're situated in a village. They're planning to move 14 miles away to a field off a motorway. Do you honestly think their attendances will increase? It's not as if their current ground is old and has poor facilities, they've not even been there for 15 years.

Well I don't care what happens! I'm marking the anniversary by rewatching the game from last year!

Bournemouth have just reported a £3m profit. FGR will be sustainable in about 2254.

Isn't the whole point of FGR being "sustainable"?

Least they have to worry about electric bill.

Imagine how much they'd have made if they didn't have Jack Wilshere's medical bills to worry about.
