Title: Relegation 2007-08
Post by: Jenga on June 18, 2007, 01:27:45 PM
Who is your money on for relegation for 2007-08?

I will go for the following 4 teams in particular order:-

Histon - too big a jump.
Salisbury - too big a jump.
Northwich - players to be sold, no money to be bring in new ones, rebuilding.
Farsley - too big a jump.

If we cannot find 5-6 new players we will be at the bottom again!!

I'll reserve judgement until i see what  players teams have, what results they get and the like.

How can such a thing be judged now?

Mark, I am judging nobody!

The facts at the moment are a small squad, that will not cope over the campaign.

The squad needs strengthening with new players of the right caliber. GH and everybody know this! Hence more money is now available.

Alty Dave..I was replying to Jenga.

Peake me to high heaven but this is such a random thread.

You can't form an opinion on other teams without seeing them or their results, or signings.

Grays have signed players for fun, Stuart Thurgood just signed a new two year deal, could get £500,000 if that fella leaves Wolves for Everton.  And they are relegation candidates?

Am i on my own on this one?

I can't comment on teams I've never seen play, however it seems Salisbury are chucking a few full time contracts around.

They looked ok on TV in the FA Cup earlier last season too, against Forest wasn't it?

The thread has only been made to get peoples initial thoughts. Can then compare those thoughts later in the season.

So peake me, go on peake me, I dont care ner ner nah ner ner.

Farsley have to be in the frame - sorry chaps but the jump IS just too big at the moment.

Histon - no real idea about them.

Vics - trouble at mill. Hurrah

Salisbury - new boys - have to be on the list until proven otherwise

Stafford - too close for comfort.

Alty - even with 5 / 6 new players it's another season of crossing fingers.

Droylesdon - similar to Salisbury

Grays

Halifax

and one more 'cos there's always one team who get themselves in the poo...let's be daft and say Torquay

Histon
Stafford
FGR
Droylesden
Farsley
Halifax
Crawley
Weymouth
Vics......

All could be in the relegation mix, the last 4 because of the way the clubs are run.

Why keep on having a go at Northwich,They are a local team and we get good gates against them and the away games are not to far to travel,keep them in and try and get more teams closer to home ,though i think Droylesden may go down,Sailsbury  i think are quiet a good side,Stafford may struggle again this season.The rest you take your pick.

The sides who get promoted into the Conference. Have a good record of staying up. I can only recall St. Albans, Kettering and Alty going straight back down within the last 10 years.

Its been going on for 50 plus years, see no reason why we should stop now.  My Grandad used to call them "the buggers in Green" and hated them and Runcorn, that was from the sixties.

Well, from a purely personal point of view....

Jeff Forshaw clattering Alex Stepney at Moss Lane in December 1979.

That time at Moss Lane in 1993, when they didn't give Alty the ball back after we had kicked it out of play when one of their players was injured.....and then went on to equalise.

Albie Nieman.

Mike Talbot-Butler's anti-Altrincham reports in the Northwich Guardian.

Bloody Dave Ryan having his annual 'blinder' against us.

Nigel and Tony, those hugely irritating gits who used to present the pre-match 'entertainment' at The Drill Field.

The Drill Field.

Phil Gee.

Mike Connett.

Oh, and did I mention Jeff Forshaw?

Northwich will finish bottom
Stafford 2nd bottom
Halifax 3rd Bottom
And Alty will finish 4th bottom and be reprieved by Accrington resigning from football and taking up netball to improve gates via advertising on Kipax's website.

You heard it here first.

Obviously news of a sheik arriving at Halifax and Connett giving redfearn a £1m budget and sending him on a football managers training course may change this but Stafford are a cert and Accy are already examining gymslips for their new kit.....I shall change my mind on Alty when i see the new signings.

We hate Northwich...we hate Northwich....OK? who peaked me?
