Ironfromafar, I can not really give an opinion on your chances of promotion as I have absolutely no knowledge of the NLN. I just thought I’d try and save you some money!
Your comment about lack of signings puzzles me. We had a very short close season last year due to the play offs and missed out on most of our targets. However this season like yourselves we have got most of our signings done before training starts and even paid fees for several of them. I can’t remember the last time this happened instead of last minute signings that no one else wants.
We’ve kept the nucleus of the squad that finished 11th and reached the quarter finals of the FA cup together and released the fringe players. We’ve signed Rekeil Pyke (Shrewsbury), Donovan Wilson (Sutton) , Abo Eisa (needs no introduction) on frees and Harvey Rodgers (Accrington) , Danny Rose (Stevenage) ,Toby Mularkey (Rochdale) and Charles Vernam (Lincoln) for undisclosed fees with the promise of more to come.
Our club is now very well run . With the windfall from the fa cup run we have money to spend for the first time in 20 years, although this certainly won’t be spent frivolously by the new owners.
Most of us cod’s are the most optimistic we’ve been since Fenty took over. We’re certainly looking up not down.
Although it may pain you, a better bet would be an outside chance for a top 7 finish for us.
Your signings have impressed me so far , but I’d be more than a little concerned where dodgy Dave is getting the money from if I was you. Seems a little Swann like throwing money you don’t have at promotion or bust.
Good luck for the new season a club like yours doesn’t deserve what’s happened to it.

Thanks for the concise reply CC, i take on board your comments.
i hold no real hatred for the Cods and admit to reading the fishy which for the most part re Scunny has seen hundreds of fair n balanced comments many of which i agree with (obviously mixed in with a few funny piss taking ones) im still of the opinion my wager is worth a punt IF the combined double odds are ok ..so yes im predicting a tough season for youz lot leading us to once again have that local derby many love so much.
Nobody cares, captain cod. You know your club better than we do so don’t take any of it to heart. Apart from that I think he was winding you up anyway.
We have our own club to worry about.
Why would any of us give a toss what your upcoming chances are for next season ?
No wind up WGs (would i do that to our much loved friends from down the road),my friendly fifty quid flutter is a real prediction.
At least it has revived and rekindled some football chatter to Bru instead of all the he said she said snide nasty conjecture filled comments all to common in recent weeks.
