No just formed an opinion. Nothing can be decided for sure, 4 months in advance of the season. Hope we're champions next season!!

Anyhow, you managed to reply to one statement but for whatever reason, nothing with regards to will we here anything from Mr Rupp?

 

No Excuses Roger!

We want pomotion next season.

We're a bigger club than Oldham, MK dons and the other clubs you've mentioned.

13k fans will not put up with div 2 football for long.

Pomotion has to be the aim and has to be achieved!

I understand that some players who are contracted will be here next season and I don't have a problem with that but what was the point in hiring Bowyer if the club are already thinking of the excuses to make for non pomotion.

@Ricc thinks we will be near the bottom of div 2 and with posts like this I can understand.

I'm concerned!

Rupp and Rhodes needs to sort the shi@e out and fast!

 

As additional info we have been relegated 11 times in our history and we have never bounced straight back up

1922 relegated from Div 1 it took 77 years to get back to the PL 1999
1927 relegated to Div 3N promoted back to D2 in 1929 time taken to return 2 years
1937 relegated to Div3N promoted back to D2 in 1985 48 years later
1961 relegated to D4 promoted to D3 in 1969 (8 years)
1972 relegated to D4 promoted to D3 in 1977 (5 years)
1978 relegated to D4 promoted to D3 in 1982 (4 years)
1990 relegated to D3 from D2 promoted to Championship 1996 (6 years)
2001 relegated from Premier League - no return in 18 years
2004 relegated from Championship - no return in 15 years
2007 relegated from L1 to L2 promoted to L1 in 2013 (6 years)
2019 relegated from L1 to L2 - ???

So the only 2 season return was in 1929. It has taken us at least 4 years to get out of the lowest division followed by 5, 6 and 8

It’s no wonder Roger is pessimistic (realistic)

MA

 

Great post.

It was like @wetherbywhaler is trying to lower fans expectations.

Rupp and Rhodes must go if we don't get promoted straight away in my mind.

13k fans haven't renewed for the fun of it.

 

Excuses!!

 

Yes how about it

There will be 22 other clubs trying to stop us.

 

Knowing @BWWB they will be facts.

 

100% sorry if @wetherbywhaler and the board think differently then they're in for a shock.

 

We were the 2nd or 3rd biggest club (if average crowd is your definition of big) in L1 this season but we finished 24th

Shall we all not bother going next season.

Ask the club for a refund.

The aim has to be pomotion

 

£20 donation to the burns unit from me if we finish bottom half, £20 from you if we finish top half?

 

If you must
As for me I’ll put a tenner on with Skybet that we’ll be Champions next season (however I did that this season and the previous 20 years)
Even after 7 successive defeats I’ll expect 3 wins to end this season

 

You may be very disappointed come 5pm Monday.

 

I know it's for the burns unit but I would be hesitant on taking on this bet, as a bcfc bottom half finish will be well odds against.

 

I'll guarantee you it won't be. You want a £20 bet for the burns unit that the odds favour City finishing in the top half?

 

No I will take into account your expert opinion on odds. However a bet between fans on which half of the league we will finish would seem even at this moment of time

 

Not sure it matters, it's just what Ricc think will happen and a bit of mutual interest.

 

Well be 2nd or 3rd favourites
