Do you think many will travel Friday for the game against us ?
Seems like Holloway is doing really well tbf I am suprised but maybe a big season next time ?
This league looks likely to be full of what you would call ex non league clubs next season might be a chance to get back up for you or us if we stay down . Not many big games in there though I remember Swindon with Tommy Mooney & James Milner schooling us but that must have been a while ago !
I won't be there this time, but been a few times, and still have my coin from the anniversary game a few years ago. Good luck (after Saturday). |

Well what a game that was. Gotta be up there with the 6-4 at Birmingham and the Sheffield United 5-5 game. Fortunately have been at all three games and can see games like this are what keeps us coming. Just four months ago this would have been just a dream, languishing at the bottom of league two and looking certain to lose our league status. Don’t know what the secret is with Holloway but hope he continues to do what he’s doing into next season. Really has been a ‘get out of jail’ card for Clem, even if just for the moment, but investment is still needed, a few upgrades on players and we could well be finishing at the top end next season.  Long may it continue. |

The irony being that the Birmingham game was also 12th April, just the 32 years ago 😲 |

My favourite game against you guys (albeit at Swindon) was in 1994 when we were 2-1 down in the 89th minute and we won 3-2.

A fantastic talent... Just hope we can get the benefit of it for a couple of seasons... I realise that's probably a bit over optimistic... |

I'd be surprised if him or McGregor rock up for the Supermarine game in July. Clem is surely counting his dollar already |

Ameen looks like a great prospect but personally I rate McGregor as a better talent at the moment and hes been exposed to the 1st team a fair bit more already. Very unusual to have 2 very good talents come through the ranks at the same time. |

And Hunt, who we sold but was certainly in the same bracket.

Yes not sure how hes doing at Boro but he certainly looked a decent defender in his limited time with us. I know he got on the bench of their 1st team a few times earlier in the season. |

McGregor you may make some money on as he has progressed through the youth team. Ameen though was picked up after being released by QPR a couple of years ago, so we would make next to nothing on him as he's not been through our system sadly. |

As he came to us via https://xyzacademy.co.uk/players/ I wonder whether we have some manner of commitment to them be it on signing him or selling on? |
