Which means if we are in the drop zone then stay in 21st place.
Someone mentioned that anymore points deductions will be implicated at the start of next season.

Very interesting points on ground development. On the football side of things we are doomed. We haven’t been out of the bottom four all season, why would the next 11 games be any different and if Taylor is out for the rest of the season then the task has got a lot harder.

What? Hiring Wade "on the cheap"? Which resulted in a big paid off... Not in the latest set of published accounts, it didn't. Ergo, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the £500k loss. Well it certainly contributed to the lost. A big chuck of the loss was the purchase of Seasons, so was...

It is certainly remarkable.

I think what DC has achieved already makes him our greatest manag...

Port Vale

I asked at the ticket office yesterday as there's barely anything left if blocks 7 and 8 would be opened, and they said that there was a large group of kids in and they'd already sold, so I'm pretty sure Vale aren't in the CF. Maybe their extras are because they weren't sent many in the Hazelwoods ...
