Huddersfield are signing Liegan Parker today aswell.
Get those odds before they are slashed Do you mean Keigan Parker? Or have a missed a TEF joke here or something?

It's the same every year - all the pundits and bookies do when they assess the lower leagues is go "Right, who's the big sides, who's the sides reckoned to have some cash? OK, they're favourites". Which is why they're virtually always wrong I remember the 95-96 season. Carlisle had just been promoted from league two/three/four (delete as appropiate), and had been bought by Michael Knighton, promising the earth, and were installed as pre-season favourites by the bookies, at around 6-1. We had just been relegated for the second season in a row, and we had a number of rem players in our team, yet with a few weeks to go to the season we were 20-1. We won the title,with a number of Town fans making a killing, whilst Carlisle got relegated.

TBF the 95/96 side does give a bit of insight into what you need to win this league....the basic XI for that season was very decent for Div 3. ................Digby
Robinson Culverhouse Taylor Bodin
P. Allen McMahon O'Sullivan Horlock
Allison Thorne/Finney The midfield was a bit dodgy, as only Horlock played 40 odd games....the rest 20 odd....but the fill in players were decent. Lingy played 12 games and 4 subs....wonder if he got a medal. Ty Gooden similar.

I always regret not betting on the 20-1 odds for that season.

huddersfield will go up Why will 'udders go up? Because they've sold a few season tickets? Didn't work for Bradford last season in L2. I haven't got a clue who will go up, I'll wait til July to make a prediction, too much can happen between now and then.

because they'll be playing in front of 18,000 every week, have a manager with a decentish record, and have money to splash on players.

The reason I personally think Huddersfield is they were not a million miles awauy this year and the chairman has said they have money available.If Kiegan Parker is the type of player they are going to sign then they maybe have as good a chance as anybody.
