Let's not forget Coventry City V Notts County was a top flight game in the 91/92 season.

I would be delighted if I couldn't get away tickets myself. It would mean we are winning nearly every game. It is the only way that most glory supporters that have a ST would go to away gamesYou're confident of getting away tickets
Yep, also played Luton Town in the top flight and more recently in the Championship
Very naive if people think we are going to walk the league / promotion.Its not being self indulgent to think how we have fallen. Nothing wrong in comparing what was with what is. Just need to keep things in perspective, be realistic about what we are now. Most fans I would think were eager to see the list and many will have thought of days gone by when we played bigger and better teams, nothing wrong in that. There is not one fixture there that really excites me. No local derby, nothing that I would call a big fixture. But it is what it is and I hope CCFC can finally have a positive league season. Lets hope this is the start of progress up not down the leagues
To think it is nailed on promotion is I feel unrealistic, even if it is what is expected
Lets get on with it
It will not be easy, most/all of the teams will be up for bringing a supposed "big club" down. The teams in August ended last season with some momentum. September will give an early indication as to how the season might pan out, it has 7 fixtures against what would seem to be stronger teams in L2. Other key months look to be December & January. Do well in those months and we should end up challenging. Always supposing we don't do poorly, as so often in the past, against the lesser teams.
Hope MR can address the squad issues that have plagued us for seasons, leadership, physicality, speed and above all goals. But I do not expect this to be an easy season.
Going on past history I would go as far as saying deluded.Very naive if people think we are going to walk the league / promotion.

I'm with you. We are a top 8 budget league two team with no home in 12 months, unless you count number one choice of the butts.
The worst is yet to come.
If the club cannot bankroll a ptomotion chasing season in league 2 i think its fine to moan and protest further. We hsve terrible owners end of the day, only thing that can stop total fan anger is some on pitch success.
It looked early in summer like sisu gonna back MR as much as possible. If he keeps getting his preferred targets we have to be in contention for top 7?
Duck me you talk some shit Nick.Why would we have an invincible season?
The reality is we are in League 2, even as a League 1 club we wouldn't have an invincible season against League 2 teams.
People need to get past thinking we are in the Premier League or have a god given right to be there, it's no wonder they get so angry / annoyed every 5 minutes.
Duck me you talk some shit Nick.
So you really believe all that shit you have written?
I remember us playing Grimsby in the championship!Yep, also played Luton Town in the top flight and more recently in the Championship
Teams in contention for top 7 I think will be
Luton
Exeter
Carlisle
Colchester
Wycombe
Notts County
Port Vale
Swindon
Stevenage
CCFC
In financial terms then looking at what info is available to be successful in L2 Turnover has to exceed something like £4m it seems (just my guess)
Same people calling others deluded are predicting us as contenders?
Covering all bases i guess lol

Same here. I was the only one who celebrated us scoring in the whole stand I was in. Their away end is freezing in winter as there is no protection from the North sea wind at all.I remember us playing Grimsby in the championship!

I'm expecting Grimsby to have a similar budget to us. So not expecting an easy game.Interesting (as they can be) fixtures, August will be telling, Notts County will have similar expectations to us, but then Grimsby, Newport, Yeovil I imagine will be fighting at the bottom come the end of the season.
If were not in top 7 after those 4 games could be a long season
If they did alternate games home then away you would either be home or away every weekend when you have a midweek game. The only way around it is to have 2 home 2 away.Usual fuck up by the Football League with far too many matches which are two consecutive games either home at away. Oh, I forget the fixture list is computer generated, so let's blame the computer rather than the buffoons at the Football League!
Same here. Exeter is a long drive for me for a football game. The wife never moans about me going away for a couple of days......but at Christmas?Pleased we don't have to wait long to see Sladey again
Not so pleased that Exeter is a Christmas game!
Hopefully we can give them both the :emoji_middle_finger:Coming up against Slade and Mowbray in the same week
I was going down the fixtures thinking "that looks easy" but then I forget how far we've fallen and how shit we really are - sad times :-(
Not a single fixture worth getting excited about!
Was there one last year?
