I'd be looking to park and drink at the Black horse Pub if I was an away fan. Only 10 minutes walk from the ground.

On a separate note, what are your expectations for the league this season? Bookies have you favourites but could be interesting.

Hard to say mate, bookies have us as favourites based on last seasons 90 points/92 goals. 35 of them was Ched Evans and we all know where he is, we've also lost Lee Williamson who chipped in with his fair share, 14 or so. We have a new look strike force which has looked pretty decent in pre season, ALOT more pace. Dont know about winning the league but id expect us to be up there or there abouts. I think your lot will be the same

Parking for home and away- very quick getaway onto the M6 as well.

Bookies also had Porter as favourite for top scorer, which made me laugh. A lot. Idiots.

They also had Creswell second favourite. :facepalm:

I just can't imagine a season with 92 goals scored.

Well not for anyway.

Who do you expect to play up front for you this year? Blackman & Cofie?

Yeah it is limited, but just 30 seconds up the road is an Industrial estate that doesn't have parking restrictions if they are full. Bayton Road - google it. Blackhorse Road and closer has parking restrictions so you can't park on the street without a permit, which you don't have.

Actually I'll google it for you:- http://maps.google.com/maps?q=bayto...SearchBox&oe=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl

Thats the pairing us fans would have, we also have Shaun Miller who has looked lively. No doubt Wilson will only pick 1 of the 3 to play with the mighty Chris Porter :facepalm: FAIL

I'd just head to the casino (opposite club shop) if I were you. Very spacious and away fan friendly.

Probably the signing I'm personally most excited about. Could go either way though but I hold out hope he'll be a big player for us this season.

Looked decent by most accounts in pre-season. Will have to wait and see. Think we will have a strong midfield this year. Main concern for me is our potential lack of potency up front.

Shefflad, obviously I would be ecstatic if we got promoted but if we did I would want you up with us.

I say this from personal experience of living on the red side of Sheffield for a few years in the nineties. Great city, and great nights out!

Good fans, but long suffering, often sh*t on from a great height by the club, very much like us. I wish you well. Give my regards to the Steel city!

So it's agreed. We'll take top 2 and MK Dons and Swindon can go jump.

Well that was easier than I expected.

See you in the Championship.

The season we signed him in the championship i thought he was shocking. Yet last season he was the white michael essien of league 1, found his level and works well with Kevin Mcdonald. Although from time to time he tends to go missing in games

How many players do preston want?! Good luck to him, Decent shot stopper but it ends there. He cost us a fair few points last season. Flaps at any high ball into the box, doesn't command his area. Was one of our highest earners too, had to go. As for Quinny, if we keep hold of him he will be playing down the left. It was in our local paper that Charlton have stepped up interest in him so will have to wait and see...
