Whilst bouncing back at the first time of asking would be ideal, the play-offs now involve 6 teams and each game is 1 leg. Only the champions go up automatically and there are some big teams down there with one usually throwing silly money at it.

As long as we are there or thereabouts, we have to stick with it and build. Personally, I hope we do it first time but think it might take 3 years.

The National League has got significantly stronger since we were last in there. If you look at the year Lincoln won it, there were not that many bigger established clubs. Ourselves and Cheltenham going up the year before did Lincoln a favour and made their task a bit easier. We need to see 2 of the bigger, better supported clubs going up to increase our chances.

The league that Lincoln won:-

Apart from the getting booked on purpose bit.
Still saddened and surprised that Bradley got himself into that gambling fiasco .

What about a don't know????


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I haven’t got a clue but really needs to be in the first 2 seasons with financial help from EFL payments, otherwise will become a lot more difficult.

What I do want to see is the new owners backing Hurst to make early signings. For years we have seemingly left a majority of signings to lastminute.com and been scraping the barrel. Whether that came from the top to save on wages or not I don’t know, but a few decent quality early signings will send the right message out to both our fan base and our competitors that we mean business.

Think a lot of that is down to players weighing up their options. As Hurst said recently, some players have an over inflated sense of their worth and hang on waiting for a better deal, only to sign when they realise a better deal is not forthcoming. Sometimes you have to be patient to get the signings you want, or move onto another option. League players will be contracted to the end of June usually, so won't be in any hurry to sign early for someone.
