Be good if the Gateshead fans can make it work, although I really hope they wouldn't call a phoenix club Gateshead Soul.

Originally posted by NHH View PostI recall a guy who was involved in the Fans Trust takeover of Brentford who said the way to handle this was to make relegation and promotion something that happens every year - so every year, the top half of a division go up, and the bottom half go down, replaced by the bottom half of the division above and the top half of the division below. By making relegation and promotion 'normal' you'd reduce the fear factor and thus the financial doping. I remember thinking it was mad, but on reflection, the idea has some merit I think.

Fylde would be an irritant but would quickly become just another D4 club. The media's crush on Salford would skyrocket if they went up and they'd instantly become the one of the highest profile Football League club along with the few "giants" marooned in the upper echelons of D2.
It would be a step towards reducing the lower leagues to the same fucking theme park that Salford already are, anyone but them.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 11-05-2019, 11:17.

Munto Finance Notts County? Nah, you're alright.
I've no grudge against the 'pies, but I don't really get why everyone's losing their shit over them being relegated. It's a lot less shocking than Luton, Bristol Rovers, Orient, Tranmere, Oxford, just off the top of my head.

How many clubs relegated to NL came back stronger as a result? Shrewsbury is in a much better state since our return. Would Luton's rise to next season's Championship represent the best 'return' of any club relegated from the EFL?
Not bothered about County, happy to recall the sneering and crowing of a few 'Pies fans when they (briefly) thought they were loaded and going to do a Fulham. Just a shame who'll replace them.

Sadly, after Brian Little decamped to Leicester, we made no summer signings under Frankie Gray, and, the inevitable happened.

Reluctantly supporting Salford, Graham Alexander was hastily and somewhat unfairly sacked at Scunny, and it is a quick and easy away trip for me, which can be combined with visiting family.
To say they're financially doped, I don't see any names on the team sheets that are recognised performers at a higher class, and I recognise more of Fylde's boys than Salford.

Torquay took about 8,000 on their own when Cambridge played them, IIRC.

Originally posted by Grimmer View PostAdam Rooney, who they bought from Aberdeen, is out injured. They bought a few decent League 1 players too.
3-0 to Salford which, on balance, is good. The Fylde coast has more than enough league clubs (i.e. two).
