#392883 The Lower League Thread
One Night In Grimsby
I went to Stevenage last season and it was the worst 22 quid I'd spent all season. Result didn't help but the stewarding was a joke then too. Didn't go last Saturday because of that and thankfully I didn't.
Some shocking goings on there, and our Trust will be taking it all the way. Stevenage statement last night was a joke.

Well we lost the match 3-1, Sheff U were pretty tidy, Billy Sharp had a great game. But you're probably referring to the trouble in Cleethorpes. Seems like a load of their fans came early on trains and got hammered in the bars down the seafront and then it all kicked off. There's a few twats in our fans too who obviously went looking for trouble. All the bars closed under police advice. And then after the game, there was a lot of trouble down the back of the ground on the walk back to the train station. Fans charging at each other etc, until the police finally turned up.
6 arrests, 4 of which were United fans. The Grimsby element I suspect were just a few chavs who are already banned or haven't been to a match in years.

What level you at? You'll start to get higher CP's come up soon, I had a 240CP Pidgey yesterday! Got a Magmar from a 10km egg yesterday and a nice Dratini down near the water here. Also had a Kabuto appear in my living room which was sweet, haven't seen too many of those yet!

I've been evolving first and then powering up, but like you I'm not sure if thats the best way. I'm level 12 now, best is a 612CP Golbat I caught yesterday, followed by a 460CP Pidgeot and then a 450CP Hitmonchan. Held a gym for 3 days straight now with Hitmonchan, but I think its because its a quiet village gym with hardly any signal...

I'm team blue! Only level 6 at the moment still, and the most interesting pokemon I've caught is a Pysduck! Actually went for a walk around the park yesterday to look for stuff...

Saw a quote from someone to do with the game that said that ''full access'' thing is a mistake and it only gives basic info to them as per other apps. My gmail is my spam email account anyway. Make another gmail account, you won't regret it!

What on earth went on at FGR?! Good end to the season for you, something to build on for next season! And some really good signings there!

Not expecting my good form to last, first target is 50 points and then see where it goes from there. 17 points chalked up so far.

How? He's better than most! Poland v Swiss earlier was awful with Jonathan Pearce AND Lawro, nearly had to mute it.

Yeah Mackreth was one of those for us, could be really good one week but pretty useless the next. He's always dubbed as this pacey winger that beats his man but a) I was never convinced he's actually that quick and b) he hardly ever took on his fullback, instead he'd cut back and pass it sideways or back to the rightback.
That said, Hursty always made sure we were defensively solid so maybe if he was allowed to let his shackles off a little and not worry about giving the ball away trying to beat a man, he'd be better. Works hard as well, which can never be faulted. Just fell out of favour with Hurst last season, I think deemed not quite good enough for our ambitions. But good luck to him.
EDIT: Also, he's ace on FM, highly recommended!

McAllister should be great judging by Scunny comments, Jones will be back up to the others I'm guessing and Chambers I'm unsure of, we had him on loan back in 2010 when he was young, but he's hardly set the world alight since then. Hopefully Hurst can work his magic and turn him into something.

Stumbled on a 4-2-3-1 tactic that worked in League 2 and up until promotion from League 1. Now I've switched back to a standard 4-4-2 in the Championship as my players are definitely not as good individually. Getting lots of 1-0 away wins which is so satisfying!

None of the original squad still playing in my team but I have Craig Disley (who was my captain in the Conference) as my assistant manager, after being coach for a year or two after he retired, so he's been with me the whole way. My original keeper, James McKeown, stayed with me until we were promoted from League 1, but then wanted to leave for a new challenge, else he'd still be with me too! He's now playing back in the Conference North. And one of the squad, Adam May in midfield has been with me since League 2.
I tried keeping the best of the original squad together and they played well in League 2 to get me promoted first time round, but weren't so good in League 1 (and we were relegated), so had a rebuild and it's come together nicely!
First season (in the Conference) I finished 12th, so I was very surprised to keep my job then! If I can get the finances sorted I may be able to push for a new stadium which should then help us push on a bit and challenge nearer the top of the Championship!

I'm now in my tenth year as GTFC boss and in that time we've been:
- promoted from the Conference
- lost in a league 2 playoff final
- promoted from league 2
- relegated from league 1
- promoted from league 2 (again)
- promoted from league 1
- avoided relegation from the Championship (finished a comfortable 16th)
I'm now about to start my second season in the Championship, with the board expecting mid-table. I'm hoping for a playoff push but it will be a big ask, there's some big teams with a lot of money in the league and my budget is still very limited.

Quite happy with our fixtures, only ones I noticed which are a pain are Portsmouth and Newport away on Tuesday nights. Although there's only 5 Tuesday games which is great! Getting my season ticket next week as I'm moving back up north from here next week.
