Was there last night Dave.. Cracking game, York won 4-2...Guinness, Saltaire Blonde on tap and a great game of football for a fiver.
Certainly be taking another game in up there. Got Man City v Sporting Lisbon CL tickets yesterday for a snip at £17.50 a ticket.
Wanna enjoy my matchday experience, so taking in a wider spectrum of football

Me first, gone for the train set. The rich ones will probably do a massive, expensive overhaul during the summer and probably get it right this time. Hope I’m wrong.

Well I've got the mindset that, we won't get promotion under Rupp, so probably Salford.

Salford for me, don’t think the other two will get there unless everything just clicks one season. When Crawley did it they had Evans demanding the earth and spent their way there.
Both ourselves and Salford are probably two of the worst run at this level, constant turn over of managers with little philosophy, you’d expect better with all the expertise at Salford. Although they are giving Bowyer a fair crack tbf, but I think they’ve backed the wrong horse.
I’d gamble on at least two of Chesterfield, Stockport and Wrexham been in league 1 before all 4.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

Ive gone for the Bantams.
Cannot see any of them getting promoted this season. However, I think we will do it next season. No particular reason other than a hunch -
Gone for Salford. I think they've finally realised just throwing money around doesn't mean a thing in L2.
Yes the talent needs to be there, but I think in this league, they best teams have a squad with similar mentality and attitudes that get them over the line, more than ability. That is only created with a togetherness over time, not chopping and changing 15 of your squad every season along with a manager or two, like they have done every season in L2 so far. Their squad has a similar look to last year all be it with a few bits of added star power. I reckon it will be the same next year and click for them. -

I'd say none of them but if I was forced to pick one it would be Salford. They have to get it right eventually, probably a year or two down the line if they get rid of Bowyer.

Only us out of that list will go up. Salford may if they change manager. Neither of the other two will ever go up.
wrexham/Chesterfield/stockport may go up before us, mind. -

Salford. I think they’ll bolster their squad with Man U youth and loans. The whole idea seems to be that they are a feeder club of sorts.

Salford have really got in their own way the last couple of seasons for all their ambition. Watching the recent documentary and the impatience is clear.
It's a funny thing but I never see us being top 3, play-offs seems to be our upper limit. Harrogate before us wouldn't surprise me in the least.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand... -

Actually Crawley are more interesting than they might appear; they've been to League One before, spent three years there, and after coming down they've not really managed to do much - but last season's 12th placed finish is there best yet since relegation, and they might be set to beat that again.
Slow, steady progress?
People were bound to pick Salford City because of their potential to just boss the league one year, but they've not done it yet and could be (like us) a bit of an overegged pudding.
On the other hand, I think Harrogate are a bit too much of a minnow to really trouble the top end of the table any time soon. Even with good backing, which they have, it will be hard to retain their best players because they're Harrogate. Same with Crawley, really, who have instantly lost Max Watters.
I actually don't know who will get up first, but it's hard not to pick Crawley as they're best placed of the four this season given their game in hand, and like Harrogate, have TWO players in the top 25 L2 scorers. -
