The Baron Mk11 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 One of the things I miss is going up to Worky and Whitehaven, calling in at Cockermouth for lunch and a few jars. I'm jealous. QUIS CUSTODIAT IPSOS CUSTODES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrab Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Had a quick scan through the fixtures and my 1st thought was what a dreadful league this is. There's about half a dozen games I'd consider as mildly exciting, the rest will be an effort to watch. Anyone who thinks were gonna get crowds of over 400 for these games (excl Bradford) needs their bumps feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOSH1960 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I can't wait for the season to start again. Unfortunately i'm going to miss a lot of the longer distance away game because of work and getting there in time for kick off but really looking forward to those i can get too.

Just chill and enjoy the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardm1978 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 This is going to be a very tough league I think, I'm really pleased with the squad it should be very competitive once we add some more backs. The pack is looking good though. Half a dozen teams that won't be far off come the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could end not making the top eight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaw llewellyn Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 There may be a couple of teams that struggle but on the whole it sounds like it will be a really competitive league. For those that are not happy with the travelling - no problem. Just make sure you turn up at the Vestacare Stadium and bring a friend. There should be some great games.

jroyales Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The season hasn't started and the doom merchants have woken up already. Looking at the squad being assembled and the determination of Scott and the players who have stayed I can't see any reason why we won't be challenging for promotion. Do us all a favour - "Doomsters go and support the hairnets that's where the doom will be!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Naylor Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm looking forward to seeing both the Championship and League 1 seasons unfold. Our aim will be to bounce straight back and if we manage to pull it off, seeing how Hornets and Swinton get on will be an indicator of what to expect should we manage to return for 2019.

moorside roughyed Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Should be interesting, we've signed a few new ones this term.This alone is making 2018 one to look forward to. I personally think it'll be a damn sight harder in league one than it was when we got our promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardm1978 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I think we've a strong squad and if we can keep relatively injury free, hopefully we'll be in the mix at the end of the season. #uptheyeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
