Did you ‘hear’ that from ‘(sources)’ ?
Else, you’re making it up, for treats.

Winning is everything
Now we are safe, it would be nicer to play Wrexham than Cardiff

Nah i don't no, Wrexham are on an upward trajectory and the whole documentary bullshit where they make a huge deal of anything Welsh, would be all over swans vs Wrexham. It would be a circus playing them i think.

 

[sainthelens]

This'll be played to suit us. Plymouth clearly now need a win, month ago they'd be here parking the bus. If we have our game heads on can only see us picking em off.
3-1.

For anyone able to access them, the 500 tickets referenced in the joint statement last week are available on Tickets For Good. You can only access the site with a vaild NHS or Charity email address, but that will presumably be a few people on here; my girlfriend works in the NHS, so we've gotten two - can't complain

Can't wait to play em. They'll bring their circus and will expect to roll through us. To send em packing will almost be as good as stepping on the skiprats.

I really hope your right, imagine the hollywood nonsense that would get spewed if they beat us.
I do think the championship is maybe a step to far for their business model. Buying older ageing stars like McClean and fletcher wont pay off as much. But how many will go there for their slice of exposure and it seems they'll be quite healthy financially.

 

[Ringwood]

A team with Sorinola and Obafemi in it should be not another defensive home showing again. Go toe to to toe with them, they are not a top 6 side.

Like to see Bianchini, Vip, Allen and Eom all start this and happy to see Ronald, Cullen and Fulton benched for this one

I thought they'd stall in league 1 for a while but that doesn't look like it's going to be the case.

But what is somewhat daunting was their accounts:

And in the Championship the tv money will be far bigger for them and I imagine their sponsorships will also explode. So they could, unfortunately be quite a force in this division.

Let's keep Wrexham out of this match thread

Yea it seems their owners/Disney doc can attract an array of sponsors. why else would Delta airlines sponsor them.

We're not safe yet

Watched some of their game Saturday, playing against 10 men, they were struggling to beak down 10 men. The ref then gifted them a non penalty which they scored and the game opened up. I don't think that team would be any good in the championship, but then again I don't think we'd see that team.

The 'Hollywood' appeal will also attract players.

 

[Smurph]

We're not safe yet

Bookies seem to think we are.

Paddy Power are offering 300/1 on us going down.

It appears some are happy to promote Wrexham with a six point gap (but Wycombe have a game in hand) and not deem us safe even though we have a lot of traffic and seven point gap to 21st/22nd Smurph
