    Not that I want us to lose but, if we do, keep an eye on Colchester United's result at home to Coventry City on Saturday or Macclesfield Town's result at home to Kingstonian on Sunday, for a possible rearranged league match on Saturday 30 November.

    In the latter case I'm assuming Macclesfield's match will go ahead, with a players strike threatened. All sorts of problems there at the moment (winding up petition, wages continuously being paid late, outstanding works to bring the floodlights up to standard).

    I was thinking that but wouldn't it be too short notice?

    It may have already been provisionally agreed with one or both clubs.

    It's a 50 50 who knows what rupp has said to Bowyer but more money is surely better than nothing.
    I can see your comments already if we go out and there is no money for players in January.

    Due to the league match being called off I would now play the best team possible.

    As for the money situation I am not convinced when as soon as the McBurnie money came the club was quick to state Mr Rupp would be getting it or the vast amount. With that in mind it doesn't fill me with confidence that any money gained would be of benefit to Bowyer plus I don't run the financial side of the club and don't care.

    I want us to go up automatically and anything short of that then the club has failed.

    How has it failed if we don't get automatic promotion. What if we go up through the play offs is that still failure?

    Yes..

    This league is weak and we shouldn't find ourselves in the lottery of the play offs.

    Have standards and set them... automatic! Anything less is failure!

    If our injury 'luck' continues .... Then the Lottery in May, just might well become a reality.
    Sadly, a couple of our players take no heed with this, as we constantly enter names into the refs book for what should be avoidable yellow cards.
    No matter how 'weak' this league might appear, there is much City can do to avoid weakening themselves. :(
    You want Standards ? Then let's begin with some self discipline, huh ?

    Well let's hop Mr Rupp puts his hands in his pocket in Jan then.

    Seriously some of you just make excuses for failure.

    THE LEAGUE IS POOR!! We're second with an average squad if I am honest.

    Stop making excuses or wanting to make excuses for a club that's clearly been failing for years!

    Have some standards!

    This has nothing to do with my "standards"... it has more to do with you harping on with the same theme running through everything you say...
    You Sir..... are a bore!

    I don't care if I am a bore! You sir are blinded my cheap season tickets!

    We're in div 2 and not making money as a club because we are failing.

    The club has no assets and right now any one of us could do what Mr Rupp and Mr Rhodes are doing.

    I want more from this club. I expect better. You need to up your standards mate. You seem happy with failure!

    So when we talk about injuries it's part of football. The owner either funds the club or not but don't moan about injuries.

    I repeat this league is poor! Going up Automatic is aim anything less is failure! Understand that!

    No some of have a different opinion to you it doesn't make them wrong.
    Not sure how you come to the conclusion we have an average squad for this poor league, we haven't had chance to give our better players an extended run together because of injuries, these are facts not excuses,.Riley, Donaldson. Henley. Devitt, Reeves. Palmer, Purdie . Ismail up until recently, McCartan.

    Stop making excuses or wanting to make excuses for a club that's clearly been failing for years!.
    Last season was the first poor season for many seasons, forgot already Parkinson's time at the club, and McCall first season, give your head a shake.

    The best bit of that is when you say people need to have better standards but you want josh Wright in our midfield I think pot and kettle comes to mind you'll be asking for Aaron McLean back back next.

    No I don't want John Wright back at all. I think he is better than what he showed last season and is showing it this like AOC is.

    Obviously this club is failing atm, we don’t need you reminding us every 2 minutes. But the damage from the last 18 months is done and now we move on.

    Regardless of your opinion Gary and the team are doing well, have a bit of perspective for once, every other relegated team is in the bottom half it’s not a computer game it’s not as easy as you like us to think it is. Oh and the 3 other teams all ended comfortably ahead of us last season.

    Bradford City shouldn't be in div 2.

    When Bradford City in this poor league we should be looking to go straight back up.

    Do you disagree with this?

    Leeds, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Sheffield clubs are leaving us behind. Now if you're happy with that then you continue making excuses mate. I feel we will start playing catch up but don't let the club bully you into having a lack of ambition.

    I believe we're failing and where the club stands and operates highlights that for now.
