5 weeks to go!!! (4+1/2 if you count brighton)

I've enjoyed a summer of being a supporter of a championship winning team (albeit Division 4). I'm in no rush for the new season.

Will miss not being able to sing " we're top of the league" for the first game anyway a 5-0 half time score at Hartlepool would help though   if we're in the top six around Xmas time I reckon the board will release even more money for the final push as it looks like they are taking back to back promotions seriously enough.

Looking forward to singing "champioly champioly ole ole ole" v hartlepool at first game....defo not too late! 

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Top two has to be the aim. And a realistic one at that.

As much as I admire the optimism, I think a good season would be upper mid table challenging for the play offs. 8-10th and push on the following season.

I think The Board and Di Canio would see that as bordering on disastrous. They've clearly put all their eggs in the 'two successive promotions' basket, not the 'consolidation' basket.

Not quite 'all their eggs. They've set a target of the Championship in 3 seasons. They'll still go for it though, of course.

I reckon they've said that in order to manage the fans' expectations. I don't think they have any intention of still being in L1 in two years time, or even one year for that matter.

 As we know from many years trying, Div 3 is a tough old league to get out of in an upward direction.  We seem to have got in a few journeymen with good experience of the level, so should be Ok for avoiding a relegation scrap, although I would have said the same 2 seasons ago.

What just might play in our favour, is that the league looks a bit weaker, than it did the PO season when we were up against Soton, Leeds, Norwich, Charlton, Udders and Millwall.

My main concern, is that last season we were a bit rocky on the road, but got bailed out by the extraordinary home form.  There are a lot of horrible norvern away days in this league...how we do in these should give us a fair clue as to how things will shape up.

I've no idea how well we'll do this season, although I expect us to lose and draw more games than last season. Keeping up the positive feeling around the team and club will do for me.

Hugely looking forward to the first league game at Hartlepool. Luckily, I'm on hols in N Yorkshire that weekend. Hope the TV fan is there again!

[The Frog]

We'll defo be up there
