Any fans of League 2 clubs?

Post by Alex_1971 »

Could be an interesting season, some money has been spent (on wages) and some squads have much improved since last season, notably Mansfield & Luton, with Swindon, Port Vale and my very own Crewe Alexandra rebuilding their squads and looking decent on paper at this early stage. Newport's great escape gives them momentum for the new season and you would expect Coventry not wanting to hang around in the 4th tier for more than a season. Lincoln come back into the league on a massive roll and Forest Green Rovers could prove be tricky, it makes for a competitive league. Yeovil and Cheltenham seem to be the tipped teams to struggle but there is alway a couple of others who will be down their and having a nervous 9 months.

Henry is a Cambridge fan, Alex. Err, lasharoo is a Sutton United fan so maybe for next year.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Cambridge should be top 3. Unless Derry changes his 'not lose' mentality we will come mid table at best.

Luton and Mansfield have spent serious cash, Mansfield is a bit shit or bust IMO

Went Crewe away last season....well made it to the pub and never made the game think we won 2-1 and it was a bit of smoke and mirrors that we'd make the play offs

Cheers for the heads up, Cambridge, yeah they looked a solid outfit when they turned us over twice last season. Who do you support Carlos, if you don't mind me asking?

You beat us fair and square at our place, looked a bit quicker the the ball than us. We should be up their somewhere ourselves this season, top 7 I hope.

I went to school with Boro's head physio, Chris has been at the riverside for years now, top lad.

A nice thought CJ but they won't let us in unless we rip up our 3G pitch and play on real grass, and the board have said that's not going to happen :(

What's the score with Dario Gradi Alex, is he persona non grata at Crewe now?

Does the 1971 refer to your year of birth? If so, do you remember a Crewe player called Aiden Murphy? He used to live on my road.

Paul from Halifax who used to be on here,and Halifax used to be in league 2, unfortunately Paul supported Manch Unided from his armchair and not his home town club.
I remember when Man U used to come to Wigan in our PL days there was always a massive 'Crewe Reds' banner behind the goal.
I imagine there are loads of pothunting cunts in Crewe.

Unfortunately , due to Chelsea being snides, Dario has copped a ban from the FA and cannot be near FA approved football facilities. He is still listed as a director at Crewe, once the FA sort their shit out and realise that they, along with Andy Woodwards, Steve Walters and a certain member of the press are utter cunts, Dario will be back in his rightful capacity at the football club.

I always think of Wigan as a Cheshire league side. Nothing has changed.

Yes 1971 is my year of birth, and yes, Aiden was a member of our 1988/89 promotion wining side. Think he was on Uniteds books as a kid, and I'm sure he was an England school boy international, very underrated midfielder.
