And now they're saying George Rolls has been to their match today. I'd say the cuts have only just started if he's about to get involved. Anyone from here going to the forum, I did notice one of their posters said they'd been to ours at that time ?
Lee Thorn is going to ask them "who in here would be interested in seeing football at Nene Park next season... Say hello to East Northants United!!" :twisted: :twisted:

Oh and no, I'd rather saw my bollocks off with a spoon. Never going back there.

Hmm not sure about that actually, I've been thinking for a while they'll turn it around it at some point, especially with AB coming in but that still hasn't come and with Dagenham winning today and Plymouth's recent form being not that bad tbh, they're in pretty serious trouble.
Nah they've got Macclesfield, Dagenham and AFC Wimbledon in the next couple of weeks. There's no way they won't win at least one of those games IMO.

i think the worse thing for them is george rolls, looks like he's getting into a right pickle at weymouth, just the kind of character to fit in at NP then!

I know you're only saying that, Rob. ;)

Unless AB makes some SERIOUS signings before Tuesday they are going down. He simply has to splash the cash, Cardoza has that cash and i'm convinced he'll spend it.

Just think, they've got 21 points from 28 games. If they keep that sort of form up they'll end up with something like 35 points. Just think how shit we were the year we went down. We were awful. We were comfortably the worst team in the league, and yet we still managed 45 points. They've got 18 games left, and if they won half of those (they won't) they'd only get 48 points.

The only thing they've got going for them is that Dag & Red and Plymouth are just as shite as they are. Maybe it'll go the way our season did in 04/05, when the only reason we stayed up was because we signed a cracking player and the two teams below us (Cambridge and Kiddy) were simply awful.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Thanks to today's results they are now adrift at the bottom, 3 points behind with a worse GD. Getting interesting.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Ooh yay another 05/06 argument. ;) :lol:

We were unlucky. ;)

I think that they'll win a majority of their games against the mid-table teams that won't have anything to play for. I'd absolutely piss myself if they did go down but I just can't see it happening. It'll be like last season, they'll tease us and then pull it out at the last minute. AB will keep them up.

Also isn't today when K*ttering were supposed to have paid the creditors (28th)??... unless I'm wrong, if it is and they haven't paid the creditors, they face a fine and 3 point deduction.

any cobbs fans i've spoke to or heard on the radio, have already given up. i fully expect them to pull their socks up and crawl over the finish line, above the drop.
as for kettrin: i just can't see them getting over their battle off the pitch.
