    Probably get beat by Barrow. Seems a decent manager Evatt. Has a style of play and was in the running for the Blackpool job at one stage

    The point isn’t who comes up, it’s the revelling in local games, new grounds to visit and old haunts from the 1960s. The club and some of its fans are ambitionless.

    I would suggest it's the club that has zapped ambition out of the supporters.

    Don't panic just yet. Captain Admin has a cunning plan to get us into the Championship within 3 years! ;)

    Wasn’t it there is a common goal to be in the championship or something. I can’t believe there is a plan.

    Of course there is a plan. It's both simple and cunning and of course cheap. I'll try and demonstrate it to you in layman's terms ...

    1. With the palm of your right hand facing downwards, extend your index finger as if you are pointing at something. You may have to curl your other fingers into your palm
    2. Then using the same hand, extend your middle finger in a similar way so that both fingers are in a pointing position. You may want to tuck your thumb into your palm.
    3. Don't whatever you do twist and lift your hand such that your two fingers are now pointing upwards. That's not nice.
    4. Instead with the palm of your right hand still facing downwards, move your middle finger over the index finger so that it crosses it.
    5. Maintain that position eevry Saturday afternoon for the next three years
    6. Plan completed!

    Without going into more details, you now how the plan is intended to work in its entirety! ;)

    Except it won’t be an easy 6pts. They’ll both beat us at home, and we’ll scrape a low scoring draw at theirs....And the thing is, most of our fans will be happy with that..Tough place to go, Barrow/Harrogate:*@

    Just a side note, Barrow to Carlisle is a similar distance as Barrow to Bradford, more or less a local derby for them.

    Let’s hope it’s Halifax that get promoted ,at least its big enough to accommodate our supporters , whereas if it was Harrogate you would struggle to get in with their limited capacity.
