I see they have an U19 team.
Are we the only club in the NL not to have one?1 user thanked author for this post.
Today saw the announcement of the composition of the 2 third tier groups (equivalent to L1) for season 2025/25.
Fixtures will be announced on the 1st July.
How do we increase the support?
There are plenty of TV glory hunters who follow the likes of the Manc duo, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal.
Then there’s the ones who make the trip along the M180 / M62 to Leeds and those that cross the Humber to watch the mudrats.
More supporters through the gates should generate extra revenue, which we need to have a hope of ever returning to the EFL.
Do you have a cunning plan, Mr Matthew ‘Baldrick’ Roberts?
Promotion to L2 may be beyond the Clubs impendency for the next five years?
Short term, we can measure Roberts success as a CEO by improving the average attendance over the first year by 15% to just over 5,000.
Success would be to improve the attendance a further 20% to an average of 6,000 for season 2026-27.
If he can achieve that, then he’s succeeded over the next 2 years.
If he’s still here in 3 seasons time then success would be measured by securing a play off place.
If we’re not in L2 by 2029-30, then he’s failed.
How long on average do CEOs remain in post at football clubs?
Five years seems an ample timeframe to deliver EFL football.
Let’s scrutinise the CEOs rather than always getting on players & managers backs!

We’ve still the 26th to fill, so maybe Bradford away sure they’ll help us out.
And why would Matlock want to play us, they’ve got 3 sell out crowds already against Chesterfield, Derby and Mansfield at home, Scunny! who!
Never a fan of WHAM (sussed him from day one)… but that’s a good pre-season. Challenge them, stretch them; not to the point of injury or exhaustion – but to find out who’s going to cope and be your preferred starting 11 when the meaningful stuff starts.
You don’t want 6 over-easy games and then a season curtain lifter away at York or Forest Green.
Rabbits & headlights springs to mind.I’d have finished with Harrogate and Salford away.

Let’s get someone else then … lol1 user thanked author for this post.
Nice to see the loyalty and how happy he is at the club, always there for the fans, waved the supporters coaches off when injured goes to away games when injured even commentates.
And he knows where the back of the net is.In Dan we trust.
Great day at the office by the club yesterday.1 user thanked author for this post.
