Tell a lie, I'm thinking of Newark to Kings Cross that's 90 minutes. Still under two hours from Lincoln to Kings Cross so that's pretty good.

What happened this season: First half of the season we played with no strikers due to injuries, were bottom for pretty much every attacking metric available, sacked the manager after he started calling players out, appointed a new manager, limped to January and then in the second half of the...

The new(ish) direct train route to Kings Cross in 90 minutes has helped, likewise the dual carriageway all the way to Nottingham. Manchester isn't too bad once you've got the A15 out the way with.

Commiserations to Cheltenham. Amazing to get it to the final day of the season really considering the first 11 or so games of the season.

Even Charlton couldn't get to JCH's demands in January. He'll be 30 when the season kicks off as well, it'd be a huge investment for someone that age and be a pretty mental and standout signing for Mansfield.

Skubala was on Radio Lincs last night and suggested that Erhahon has more than a year left on his deal, which is good news. Could have a release clause of course.

Aside from being financed to the tune of £200m+ from a Russian billionnaire!

Wellens has done well, I wasn't sure on him in L1, but I did caveat that by saying his previous jobs in L1 weren't necessarily at settled clubs. Be a shame for Orient if he left. Get the impression he can be quite fiery and confrontational though.

He said in his post match interview that he thought it was a really good game. You were better than us, not disputing that, we've struggled against the top sides in the division all season but even outside of that we've putting out the same side week in, week out for ages now. On Saturday we...

Can't imagine it'd be difficult for the NL to be buttered up either! Whilst the league pyramid itself is getting more professional the people running it can't organise a piss up in a brewery. Last time they got given some additional money in the form of Covid support, we all know what happened...

Bolton/Posh final, which I'd fancy Bolton in if they're on song. The latter always have a soft underbelly that has the potential to rear it's head.

1 from 4 now. Birmingham vs Norwich Sunderland vs Wednesday Plymouth vs Hull Leicester vs Blackburn

That's quick out the blocks!

Not a bad effort overall. That mid-table pack is always hard to call but apart from getting Charlton and Northampton wildly wrong, pretty much spot on at each end of the table.

Skubala pretty much confirmed what we already know, and that's that Erhahon will be very difficult to keep. An absolutely Rolls Royce of a '6' and picked up Player of the Season yesterday.

As I said earlier in the week, our record against the top sides isn't great this season and when you do play them, our CM issues that we've had is amplified but ultimately it wasn't just that yesterday, we ran out of a bit of steam and came up against a decent side as well and with House in CM...

One of our blog sites has done an article today saying that since the PO's were introduced, out of the 36 seasons, we've been involved in a last day scrap for them on 11 occasions, which seems quite high to me (didn't think it was that many either)?!

BIG GAME! Still can't believe we've got to this stage given where we were in mid-January. These are the games this season that we don't fair too well in (the opposite to last season) - we're fine against mid to lower sides but when we play the better sides we're not as fluid or good and it's in...

Bit of a breakdown in this thread on L1 finances if you click in.

We've announced a 12.6% (£2m) investment into our Holding Company by Ron Fowler, who is a friend and business partner of our other American family. Their privately owned company distributes beverages/beers including Heineken and Coors over the pond. Was also in sport business with the O'Malley...
