JG - you will doubtless be happy that your wish, for us to increase ticket prices significantly, is coming to fruition next season. That said, I suspect that the effect of any increase in overall revenue will mainly be to reduce our losses, rather than allowing a meaningful increase in playing budget.

Paid £29 for a seat today at Stockport in a canopy covered stand,with a view severely obstructed by posts. Last Saturday in one of the most affluent parts of one of the most expensive Cities in the World - the Amrrican tourist sitting next to me one the half way line had paid the paltry amount of £23. That's why our playing budget is poor - but at least pound for pound we are the best team in the league. Hay..ho!

Pretty much what I expected although to be honest I thought we played pretty well in the second half and were unlucky not to get a goal to make things a little more tense. Obviously they didn’t need to push too hard being 2 up at half time but we had some decent chances to make it 2-1 and either our finishing was lacking or their keeper stepped up. Subs detracted from the game but that’s ok given our squad issues. Stockport fans much better outside the ground than inside they made no noise even at 2-0 up but I’m sure they’d say they have bigger fish to fry and that we were all expecting the end result anyway.

Toothless up front to go with a creaky defence = a 3-0 defeat. Never been a great Jackson fan but would advise him to take any offer that comes his way. Must be so frustrating managing a club with a shit player budget.

Nick - anything could happen, of course. But the teams below us will all be taking points off each other throughout the run-in (Wigan especially!) and I think it will result in 50 being enough.

Don't forget to factor in teams below us playing teams below us.

Looks like quite a melée at the end of the Sutton vs Rochdale game…

Had we not lost both games to Exeter, we would be safe.3 more points should do it

Nicks- maybe, which is why I asked it as a question. The way I see it- if we got no more points then everyone other than Exeter would almost certainly pass us, so the question is whether Exeter will get 7 points from their last 6 games(they would almost certainly have better GD than us if we lost all of our remaining games) and I wouldn’t be confident of them not doing that. A couple more points would leave us safe though and I would be fairly confident that we will scrape those up from somewhere

We're safe. It's fine.

How many more points do we (realistically) still need to be safe? I certainly don’t think that the answer is “none”, but Exeter being 7 points behind us and the number of other teams between us and the drop zone would suggest to me that 4 (and probably even 3) more points would likely be enough.

Lincoln unbeaten in 22 games, they must be due a defeat soon, yes…?

Not really a huge shock that they got a third goal as we were trying to push forward - both teams had 4 shots on target, but theirs went in and ours didn’t… We probably won’t make the playoffs now… :/

Exeter taken 1 point in 6 league games.but their remaining games look winnable and we nearly have same goal difference

If we’d had some strikers we could have got something out of that. Stockport were not that great 3-0 definitely flattered them. Just got to hope Exeter carry on being crap.

5 Live reporter had the Stockport keeper as man of the match saying he made 4 excellent saves.

5 min extra time, 7 mins 3rd goal cost me 2 points and top spot of Whad predictor league:-(

Not our day today. Should have scored and probably got a point. Stockport clinical with their chances but the 3-0 score flatters them. Difference in finishing today. Should Lewis, Reeves and McDonnell be in the side as they all seem to shot.

That's a bit of an undeserved scoreline

Exeter finishes 0 0

Terrible finishing, but the all round play has been good - should be able to sneak a point or two before the end of the season

Blackpool score

Jennings on for Nelson

MK 1-0 dowm at Salford in a crucial game

Looks like 3-5-2 with Seddon and Ogundere CBs with Johnson in the middle. Didn't we have the good run with this back 3?
