I see all the self indulgent "Look at the teams we're playing" stuff has started. We've played a lot of them teams in recent years anyway.
We were relegated from the top flight 16 years ago and the second tier 5 years ago. Anybody would think we were playing Man Utd and Liverpool regularly within the last few years. It's a generation ago.

I think it's just an excuse for something to moan about.
We have known for ages who we are playing this season, why is it such a shock?

Carlisle away on the 30th December is a right bastard.
Especially given 2 days later we at home on 1st Jan!
Cleethorpes in August going to be a piss up and a half!!

Seeing this really does make you realise how far we've fallen. I look at those teams and think that the only ones who should give us any trouble are Swindon.
I look and honestly think we could have an invincible, unbeaton league season
.........then I look at our squad and reality hits home.

The mighty Morecambe being out Ricoh swan song.....
THAT is the bit that really hits hard......

Why would we have an invincible season?
The reality is we are in League 2, even as a League 1 club we wouldn't have an invincible season against League 2 teams.
People need to get past thinking we are in the Premier League or have a god given right to be there, it's no wonder they get so angry / annoyed every 5 minutes.

Not really. They all look the same to me(said with redneck accent)
Im not scared of league 2. If robins gets his targets in i thibk we will be top 7. Big IF i guess knowing ccfc but cant say i look ata carlisle or notts county and worry
Blissful ignorance perhaps

Well gotta keep these dates free!!
Personally if we get beyond any first cup games we're doing well.

Of our first 10 games 8 of those will have ambitions of going up at least via the playoffs and Notts county will likely fancy a opening day win
Of the 5 home games we've got none are easy, teams will come and frustrate us, and the away games ain't any easier too while we face the other 3 relegated side also in the opening 10.
I honestly think we will have a slow start to life in league two but I'm hoping we adapt quickly and find some momentum to challenge up the top end.

Looking forward to it.......
I'm aiming for away days at Yeovil, Accy stanley, Morecambe, Exeter, Crewe, Notts County & Lincoln......Forest Green if I can get a ticket....and possibly Port Vale on Boxing Day but unlikely.....
Bring it on. PUSB.

I'm with you. We are a top 8 budget league two team with no home in 12 months, unless you count number one choice of the butts.
The worst is yet to come.

Sorry, what I'm saying is it really does make you realise how far we've fallen. It's easy to think of the team that we had when growing up and we should easily beat all of these.
But we're not that team anymore, we are just an average League 2 team down, division 4 and it's easy to forget that.
It's not a self indulgent post, it's an acknowledgement of our current level and apologise if it reads as anything other than that.

3rd of Feb is when all those non season ticket holders are going to be disappointed they don't get to go to Forest Green then...

It isn't easy to forget it though, it's been like it for years sadly.

It's hard to know whether we've got a tough start or not really, especially at this stage of the pre-season. Notts County first game is trickier than I would have like.

You think so? I'm not with you unfortunately.
Notts County have recruited well so far and retained John Stead who scored a few goals last year and will fancy a promotion push under Kevin Nolan
Grimsby your right did struggle mainly since the loss of Omar Boogle who'd scored 19 goals by January and are under a rebuild but another who will be aiming to hope for a playoff spot
Newport are a club high in confidence with new manager Micheal Flynn who put a amazing run in to end the season with survival, they will hope to build on that to be a club not fighting for survival.
Yeovil and Newport likely will struggle again but they wont be easy teams to break down and offer us the points for free.

Overall a good fixture list.
Grimsby in August means I won't be going in with the home supporters this time. Bloody freezing there in winter.
Carlisle end of December. Could see in the new year in Glasgow and go to the game on the way.
Morecambe last away game of the season. I'll do the same as last season. Drive there and drop myself off at the ground. Hand keys over to wife. Large bar at the ground that welcomes away supporters. Beer a decent price and isn't bad either. Good place to celebrate our promotion :shifty:
