If Wrexham, Stockport, Mk and Mansfield go up, replaced by Carlisle, Fleetwood, Burton & Cheltenham then this league looks considerably easier than this year.
This season has been the toughest I can remember, Chesterfield coming up will be a challenge but the play-offs in the NL don’t look all that much either.
It would be 15 years since I've been to Burton if they come down. Not sure how I'd feel about reliving that afternoon, maybe I'd want to vanquish the demons.

Yep, sad day that. I as many Town fans was seated with the home fans. Remember picking the tickets up with my lad that day from their club shop and reciting in my head all the local schools, just in case they asked my son what school he went to, in case they sussed us out!! Took my hoodie off at half time to show off my Town top, as most home fans knew we were amongst them, but politely told by a steward to put it back on. The Burton stewards were great that day. Broke down in tears though later that night, after the result. Didn’t realise it’d hit me as hard as it did!!

Burton makes 2nd spot on my list of Town heartaches. It hurt like fúck, no question, but the hours and days after the Bristol Rovers shootout defeat at Wembley remains the worst I have felt as a Town fan. Possibly in part due to the heat stroke, but the sense of injustice - both at the magnitude by which we’d been the better side and the disgraceful decision not to send Puddy off, left me absolutely rocked.

It looks like the division will be a little weaker next season, and we will also see far more Town games televised and get more tv revenue. So it’s very important to stay up this season. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

The most dreadful act of refereeing cowardice I have ever seen. Deliberately ignoring the laws of the game so as not to ‘ruin the spectacle’. He should never have been allowed to referee another game after that.

Why did you have to bring that up Poojah? I was uncharacteristically on British soil for that one. It seemed a hell of a long way back to Gy.

Does anybody know how much the TV deal is worth per season 'extra' for league 2 clubs providing we stay up ?

Spare a thought for the Southern exiles...if FGR and Sutton go as well as the teams who may well be coming down from League 1 this league has a big number of Northern clubs and it makes it difficult to get to nearly as many games as previous seasons (remember last season Orient, Stevenage and Northampton all got promoted).
I get that the vast majority of Town fans benefit but a small number of us get to see our team even less.
But I'll live with it if we avoid relegation. UTM.

You might get Barnet and that’s always been a decent away day for all of us
