Its good if we are planning on going out and winning it. Not so good if we are planning on doing things on the cheap, trying to scrape in the PO's.
I did enjoy L2 last time. Unusally our fans were very brash and self confident and we seemed to be a big draw for every club we went to. I think that translated onto the pitch a lot, which helped us get over the line.
Loved going to Hereford and Shrewsbury with cheap train tickets. But one of those grounds has gone forever, new out of town ground might be tough to get a train back, and the other sounds like they have bastardised it with seats. Like I said on another thread, the best support Ive ever seen us have at Wycombe was in L2. Getting a bit tired of Jills, might try and do Southend properly instead.
Anyway, come on Fitton, we need you to give the club a direction again. Players are much more valuable in L1 than they are in L2 and there is nothing positive for the board in going down.

We're now seen as a Div 3 Div 4 yo-yo team....where the odd decent Div3 season is the abberation rather than a season of struggle, flirting with or getting relegated. We're also now seen as a club that regularly loses in cup games to Conference sides. Although players are more valuable in Div3, it's probably easier to recruit players from lower down, who can play in Div 4 without being quite so exposed . |

Reg i fail to see if we do go down how only 2 seasons in division 4 since 1986 constitutes a yo-yo team. Wycombe would be a better example

Or you could look at it as two out of our last 6 seasons in the bottom div.

Why on earth would Tisdale come to us?
He's a decent manager and alot of our fans have wanted him the last 3 or 4 times the STFC managers job has come up, now Exeter are a division above us. Why would he take the backwards step?
He wouldn't. Read my post. I disagree with some posters who think this is the worst squad that we had in years. I haven't looked forward to season like I have this one in ages. I think the last time we really under performed to this extent was when we got relegated to the old Division Two in 1995. On paper this is the best team we've had in a long long time. |

Exactly... with a third a near thing. Bart we've become a yo-yo team, whereas before we were seen as a reliable Div 3 side...decent in cups with the odd couple of seasons upward. |

The 05/06, side although shit could win the odd game and was 5 points better off at the same stage, than this side. The 00/01 side was 10 points better off at the same stage, and just stayed up.....no this is the worst side probably since 55/56 in the old Div 3 South. There wont be many who go who can remember that far back. |

Sorry Reg, we're all pissed off about this season, but that is nonsense. |

Fuck me if OTJ hadn't fluked a last minute point at Carlisle, we'd have been sat a point clear of Gayers and Cobblers, with them having games in hand, and us just a couple left. |

Cox was the difference that season. I agree with Reg though, that OTJ goal was vital to us. In mid march that year I was convinced we were down.
