Title: Oxford and Port Vale?
Post by: 4D on Monday, April 17, 2023, 08:56:01
I reckon one of these will drop down to our division next season. Both have a tough run in, and Cambridge have won 3 and drawn 1 in their last four games. Keep that moment and they could easily stay in league 1.

Who would you like to see in league 2 next season?  :)

TBH I have moved on from Port Vale, I would rather the Pox were relegated.

Vale were just twats for the one game, Pox have been twats forever.

A surefire sign of a shit season is worrying about other teams in other divisions.
I care about Oxford when we play them. Any other time spent thinking about them are seconds of my life I’ll never get back.
Vale were good pantomime villains but if McKirdy or Davison could score a pen we’d never have given them a second’s thought again.

Ideally Morecambe, Accrington and Cambridge will stay up in place of Oxford, Franchise and Vale. But out of those Oxford being relegated would be the preferred option

Strange question.

Let's be frank, nobody is going to look forward to another season in league 2 next season. Games at the CG are never quite the same when there is only a fraction of the away section of the Arkells populated. At least if Oxford come down there will be a little bit of a buzz come fixture release date. I know they are not popular but should Wrexham get promoted, that's another interesting game to look forward to, they should bring a large crowd also. I'm sure if Notts County also go up, they will be looking for 'revenge' as we relegated them, and they will also be well supported.

Knowing our luck they will all be Tuesday evening games which will have a dramatic effect on the crowds.

I mean I want to say Oxford because they are well Oxford…but…it’ll be a bigger gut punch if they then beat us next season and / or finish above us.

Of course if they do stay up they’ll finish above us next season anyway but at least they are a bit more out of sight out of mind.

Ultimately I’m not sure I care either way. Ideally we want the weakest teams to come down whoever they are.

Couldn't really give a toss about who comes up either Wrexham or County will bring a fair few, looking at it County brought 2,248 when they went down so would expect a resurgent team to bring more than that.

BTW looking at it, I see Wrexham have the opportunity to relegate Yeovil and Cooper tomorrow night, albeit they do seem to be wobbling a bit.

Oxford, although I wouldn’t be heartbroken if Vale drop down. If it is Oxford then it is inevitable we will lose both matches and get some red cards as per convention.

Pox have a six pointer last day at home to Accrington. I wonder if Accrington will sell out the away end?  :hmmm:

Slightly wrong thread but PV have just sacked Darrell Clarke.

Also got FGR in their run. I fear they’ll be OK

Oxford. If we can beat them again we can move on from the (Sir) Tom Broadbent thing.

The lack of any local rival has added to the soullessness of the season.

Not saying we have to have one, but it certainly helps getting a bit of atmosphere at a game.

It would be nice to see the Stratton Bank with at least a few people on next year.

It has to be Oxford purely on the animosity experienced over the years compared to the more recent PV crap.

Delete "or".  Replace with "and".

Sadly Oxford to stay up plus they have the best goal difference then I reckon it's between Cambridge and Franchise

Pox go down as they can't really buy a win at the moment and Cambridge have decent form for a team at the bottom end.

Like the clean sweep in the Boat Race this year, I think Cambridge will come out on top too.
