Confirmed by the Football League's twitter account that those ''leaked'' fixtures are fake.

Doubt it's real too but you never know I guess. I'd quite like a home game as our first, haven't had one in years!

Found the leaked document and I gotta say if they're not real then someone has too much time on their hands!

Vardy will no longer be having a party if/when he signs for Arsenal.

Interesting. Where'd you find this?

Would like to see Grimsby do a Burton.


If we get our new ground and continue to build on what we have there's no reason we can't push on. We were a Division 1 (Championship) team before so no reason to think we couldn't ever make it back. Just a hell of a lot more difficult these days with the ridiculous money being thrown around. We're gearing up to push on again next season (ala Bristol Rovers), hopefully we can push for the playoffs. We'll see what kind of signings we make mind.

We have a goalkeeper! James McKeown signs a new two year deal!

Expecting another keeper to sign too in the coming weeks. We never played with a keeper on the bench in our 6 years in the Conference, due to only being allowed 5 subs.

Fixtures out 22nd June I think. Fish and chips highly recommended if you do visit, and we've got a pretty decent bar in the away end now run by the supporters trust.

Usually what happens is that one team in the league with the most (so the North in this case) will get swapped into the south, but also depends on the promotions from below that could even it out.

Haven't seen an official announcement but wikipedia says this:

Did you guys have The Torch pub, just up the road from Wembley Park station? Was designated pubs for all games I think. That place was rocking when we were down there, even the pavements outside were jammed. But yeah £4.50 a pint in there, bit steep for us northerners!

And Wembley itself is just ridiculous for food/drink, we never buy anything inside.

Looking forward to the fixture release now, hoping for Plymouth away in August sometime so I can catch it while I'm still living down in Cornwall. I think we have 6 contracted players at the moment but not panicking just yet...

Which one of you is going to What'sApp Akinfenwa?


Definitely won't be us, however popular he would be with the fans (although tbh I'm not that keen on him). Our manager makes our strikers work very hard so wouldn't ever fit our system.

He'll probably end up at Eastleigh or Forest Green in the Conference I would have thought, they'll pay him the £££.

Hard luck Vercoe! Better team on the day won though from what I watched. See you next season and we can battle it out for top spot!

Why would I know, I've only been there once as an adult.

The Danish national museum is pretty cool, entry is free too, iirc. Other than that I have no idea.


Oh! Your profile says Europe/Copenhagen so I assumed...

@Franck Can you recommend some good places to visit in Copenhagen? I'm here for the next two weeks doing some work!

Would be good if so, potentially Donny, Notts County or Mansfield for us. I still can't quite believe we're back in League 2. I must have watched the 3rd goal from Wembley about 100 times now, best moment of my life.

Here it is again....

Ah fair enough, I must've made up the chairman bit. Nah I don't think any fan of any lower league team wants it to happen.


Nah, he was chairman a while back but stepped down. He's still majority shareholder and bank rolls everything, not actually sure who the chairman is currently!

Fixture release on 22nd June supposedly. Does the FL (or League 2 at least) do a local derby match on Boxing Days? That was one of the only good things about non-league.

Exactly this! Although I think I saw your chairman come out and say he thinks B teams are a good idea, no idea why he thinks that, maybe trying to get favours...


Aye (although he's not the chairman) I saw him come out and say he thought it was a good idea, but that's a complete polar opposite to every fan of the club. Can't see it going through with the number of votes required to pass it.

In other news, we've announced our retained list. Hopefully everyone offered a contract will stay. Lost one player we wanted to keep already, Jon Nolan, who's signed for Chesterfield.

If it ain't broke.

Another disguised way of pushing Premiershit B Teams, they can jog on. There is no benefit at all to their proposals and I really hope every club tells them to fcuk off. To suggest that League 2 teams playing 8 less games a season will help the England squad is quite frankly, ludicrous.

Quite a journey for both those Morpeth fans!




To be fair to them, they've supposedly sold 3500 themselves!

Anyone heading to Wembley on Sunday for Non-League Finals Day?

Hereford v Morpeth in the FA Vase, followed by us v Halifax in the FA Trophy. A ticket gets you entry to both games, £25 quid adult, £10 student/OAP, £1 kids.

Hereford have sold 19,000 on last count! Great stuff by them! We'll take just over 10,000 I'd imagine (8000 sold as of last night). Looking forward to it!

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS! Get in there! What a day! Absolutely buzzing! Every single one of them in that team are heroes! Partied long into the night back in Cleethorpes last night after getting back, mental scenes!

Never ever again will I take the Johnstones Paint Trophy for granted! We're back!

And now next weekend, absolute party down at Wembley again for our last ever non-league game!

Hoping Halifax win the FA Trophy, but really want to see you guys back in the League


Thanks! Would quite happily trade a win in the FA Trophy for a Playoff Final win. To be honest, none of us are at all bothered by the FA Trophy, it's had a weird feeling amongst fans ever since we've been down here.

Both finals are live on BT Sport by the way if anyone is gonna watch, kickoff is 4pm this Sunday, similar next week too I think.

Got my tickets for Sunday, play off final again, this time vs Village Green Rovers.

Really, really hoping we can do it this year after being a penalty away last year. Over 10,000 tickets snapped up in 48 hours of sales so we should have a good backing, and fingers crossed for the right result.

If we do win this Sunday, the other Wembley trip the week after is gonna be an absolute party!

I was there yesterday Fola. We were shite, refs were worse and it was freezing on that terrace!

Here's the goals, including the worst offside decision in the history of everything.
