I've got a free ticket for FGR v Wrexham. As much as I dislike the Wrexham bandwagon ... fingers crossed for them. And three points against Tranmere would help the nerves too.

We did a win!
With 11 games left, Town sit on the line in 17th with 43 points
We need 16 points (1.45 ppg) to reach the magic 59 point threshold.
Over the 35 games played, we're running at 1.23 ppg
Over the last ten games, we're running at 1.0 ppg
Our remaining games are: (current league position of opposition)
Harrogate H (12th)
Mansfield A (1st)
Accrington H (15th)
Doncaster H (20th)
Walsall A (7th)
Notts Co H (14th)
Sutton A (24th)
Barrow A (6th)
Wimbledon H (13th)
Grimsby A (22nd)
Morecambe H (11th)

Looking at our home games left you'd like to think we'd get a fair few points. Our home form over the season is pretty good compared to our shit overall position. We've only lost to the teams currently in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th. |

If we get less people than 60 points this year then we’ll have gained fewer points in the clem era than we did between 82-85 (the beamish year and the the ones either side). I.e the worst extended spell in 4 division era

Win 5 Draw 4 Lose the rest Think the five wins poss come v Tranmere ✓, Donny, Sutton, Grimsbeh, and Walsall Draws v Notts County, Morecambe, Accrington, and Wimbledon {or maybe Gills ✓} Lose v Gills {or Wimbledon}, MKDonalds ✓, Stockport ✘, Harrogate {fucking Harrow Gate} ✘, Mansfield {fucking Mans Field}, and Barrow {FUCKING Barrerrh} I make that about 19pts. I agree with Nick Aud, that Town will win more than 3 óder 4, meaning that's a ''say fish'' {fish} bet but conversely also meaning that Town will still finish just below the oft fated creamflow drink line. I also don't think 3Opts is remotely achievable. Only my onion of course Most likely to celebrate drown the sorrows with a few pints of Kenneth  15pts from 30pts needed. Going with what is left over, I have Town just obtaining 15pts, thus equalling the lowest ever finish. These predictions never fully work out. Town aren't going down but finishing ABOVE the Kenneth Line... Town effectively have to be on a win one in three form for the rest of the season just to hit the record equaling low finish: W D L W D L W D L W I'm unfortunately sad to say that i'm confident that they won't be surpassing the line but obviously anything can happen - even a points deduction  |

Am I right that yesterday saw Austin notch his 49th goal for Town yesterday?
If so, I'd genuinely love to see him score his 50th. If anyone also witnessed his first at Carlisle that would be some "double".
Whatever, the Beamish Line challenge is absorbing and I'll continue believing for as long as that target remains mathematically possible.
Out of interest what if we finish 16th on 56 points?

Honestly, I fail to see what ounce of difference it makes. The season is shit, does it matter if it just happens to be a bit more shit than one years ago. I’d rather look forward - if that’s possible.

51 league goals by my reckoning. 58 over all. |

Austin 97(+16) 51 goal every 2.22 games
Parkin 122(+4) 68 goal every 1.85 games
Cox 80(+1) 44 goal every 1.84 games
Just for some context but obviously a lot of other factors like age, the team they played in, how good we were. Austin has obviously made a lot more appearances as sub which could be anything from under 5 minutes to 80 odd minutes in theory. Plus Austin coming back at the tail end of his career etc

You make a good point but it would also point towards further decline and a more indicative indicator that the current ownership is not wanted. Finishing in Town's lowest ever position {or even with a positive slant, their second worse ever finish} in the Football League is not something to ignore. Of course, it makes no difference but it would serve as good evidence when proposing that current owner do indeed step down/sell. Looking forward for me personally, means not continuing with the current ownership and getting some people in who actually know how to run a business {and maybe even a Pro footy one at that}. The lowest league position ever might activate a few more into pushing forward with a new ownership. I certainly don't want a Football League exit in a couple of years, to be the redeeming factor in fans waking up. |

I’d rather look forward - if that’s possible. You are right, it's going forward that counts. Not seeing much to change things myself. Beating a low point is just an indicator of ongoing decline. |

Apart from one good season since the new regime, which still didn't end well, everything has been worse than ever before. The ground looks like it's peeling, and everything has the feel of Sunday league about it. How have we ended up here and more importantly when, if at all, are things going to improve? Some seem content with that, which I find bizarre.
