Re: Going down?

That was a good afternoon at FGR and took me back to our conference days of selling out a standing terrace. Most of the crowd couldn't get any mobile signal to check other scores, but that was an amazing comeback from Barnsley to take a point vs MK, and keep us all but mathematically safe. There sco...

Re: Going down?

We've had a couple of favours recently from teams you wouldn't expect. Wycombe beating Cambridge last Tuesday, and Cheltenham throwing in the towel against us. So we can actually score goals (and more than one) from open play and we can win a game. FGR are down already so nothing to play for, and Ch...

Re: Going down?

Last night went about as well as it could considering we only picked up one point. Accrington, Cambridge, MK Dons and Port Vale all lost. Cambridge have been the team I worry about as they were in a good run of form, and also still have to play FGR and Accrington. We also still have our superior goa...

Re: Going down?

Looking at the table ... I think it's possible that we could catch one of the teams ahead of us. Port Vale and MK Dons don't play any of the bottom nine teams, but some of the mid-table teams are perhaps mentally on the beach already with nothing left to play for. Cambridge are on a run and also hav...

Re: Posh point proves potential progress

A good away point at a team that are now in the play-offs. Seeing Morecambe lose 5-0 takes a bit of the gloss off our previous match 1-1. Mainly I was just relieved we held on for the last twenty minutes plus 8 minutes added time. Also was nice to have a crowd back onside again, though a few people ...

Re: KR in / KR out?

I still think the stadium site being downsized from Stratfield Brake to the Triangle has had a large impact on our owners thoughts and intentions. Instead of a money making asset they can sweat through the ancillary development, they are now left with a stadium and a football club, and perhaps the e...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

I've now been (hopefully reliably) informed that the club agreed to a re-negotiated license, since the one I hold, without the right of renewal included. That was a bit (a lot) bonkers in my view, without a credible alternative in place. So now we do face homelessness. Not very clever, and the club...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

What I find interesting is that in the Dec 2021 accounts, there was a prior period adjustment to reclassify the stadium from depreciated cost within fixed assets, to at fair value within investment property. "The valuation at 31 Dec 2021 was undertaken by the directors, having regard for rent a...

Re: Give Us A (Stratfield) Brake

I agree that the smaller triangle plot puts the whole enterprise at risk. Originally I believe the idea put to us was that everything within the stadium benefited the club, and that what was outside would fund the building and development. I feel that accepting the triangle will be a real blow to ou...

Re: All over bar the shouting

Those last two results are a very welcome six points that could easily have been just one. We are now finally into the top half of the table, and can probably stop worrying about relegation unless we go into complete freefall, or the stadium situation goes completely against us and our owners give u...
