Colchester have only sold around 2,500 tickets for Saturdays game. I think we have aold around 700 so far.
Saying that the crowd will be nearly double our opening day game at Harrogate last season when only 1,948 fans (600 Swindon) attended. Town being drawn away for the opening game for the 3rd year running in L2.
That Harrogate result was the start of the end...piss poor! Negative stuff coming through on WhatsApp as i wandered around Ironbridge. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

It’s not what fans want to hear, but it’s the reality of where we are as a club at the moment. Just have to hope Flynn has that something extra to sneak us into the top 7 then it’s a lottery in the play offs. No reason we can’t be one of those surprise sides in the mix.

I agree, not much to get excited about mind! |

Well you can’t get promoted if you aren’t in the top half.

Unlikely to say we intend to flirt with the relegation zone to make it an interesting season for our bastshit crazy & Twitter addicted fans.

They have learnt from last years "we are going for promotion" push - they said that and look at the angst it caused when our managers made a mess of it.
Clem has openly stated that promotion is the aim, but stating that they are aiming for top half makes sense - in the top half in January/February/March not only determines the transfer policy for January, but also means that you are in with a shout of pushing for play offs/autos.
In short, what they state at the start of the season means very little, it's how Flynn gets this squad to perform on the pitch that matters.

And, whether they like it or not, that performance is going to be judged against one performance metric by the fan base (generally) - promotion.

I remember the Liverpool players in the 70s/80s saying their first target was securing enough points to stay up.
I'm sure privately they always had the league title as their target

Of course, it always will be in league 2, they know that, and that should be a given - it is ever not, then it shows we are going in a negative trajectory
