Alternatively it could also mean that four months with the new management team has turned certain players into sellable assets. Plenty of Col U fans didn't even want Mingi at the start of the year.
Those two things don't always go hand in hand though. We've signed a number of players from League One in the last few seasons and we haven't rocketed up the table. You could also argue that Stockport are taking a bit of a risk on two players who aren't exactly proven but they're financially in a position to take that risk right now. For what it's worth I think both players still have lots to learn and improve on but if they realise their potential I expect them to be sold again in the next few seasons. |

Months out of date? It literally reflects the squad that finished the end of last season. Surely it makes more sense to update when next season's squad is known rather than removing those that have left or might leave? Squad numbers may also change depending on who stays, goes or comes in so probably better to just do the job once rather than multiple times. |

I understand and share your frustrations. Even after the last season's debacle I felt we still had the makings of a decent team and one that should be comfortably in the top half of the table. With Danny and Nicky in place and the whole club starting to feel a bit more positive again I too felt this was a summer where, with the right recruitment, we could fill the gaps in the team and squad and look forward to a far more successful season next season. And I'm not saying we can't still do that but, for me, Mingi and Fevrier were to be key members of that team next season along with Read, Chilvers and McGeehan and there's a good chance that none of them will be here now. |

Sounds like they're getting there but still need to do more. It feels to me like a pretty simple problem to overcome. |

It's a fair point, and I agree to some extent, but once a player's head is turned there's not a lot you can do. Look at the crowds Stockport have been getting the last few seasons compared to us and now they're a division higher as well. I'd imagine that Mingi and Fevrier have probably trebled their wages if not more. How can we compete with that? Col U probably isn't the most attractive proposition right now unless the player is prepared to buy into Cowley's vision. Also it's worth remembering that all of the players we've sold in recent years have come to us for nothing or a nominal fee so the players are out there. We've sold four of them in the last 12 months. Just have to go and re-find them now. |

Rumours tonight are that Read and/or Fevrier have been sold and that Anderson is signing permanently after completing his medical. |

Completely agree. They need to act quickly though.
I don't know how they manage to get it so wrong sometimes. |

The club replied to a comment on Facebook last night confirming that supporters parking in the car park when travelling to away games will indeed have to pay to park. As you can imagine this was met with the outrage and disdain it deserves. The club needs to undo this and pretty quickly in my opinion. Why oh why are we so bad at PR. Just when we start to get a bit of good feeling going between the club and supporters again they come up with some ridiculous way to knock it back again. Obviously I appreciate the need to police the car park more stringently going forward but there is no way that our away fans should be paying to park when travelling to away games. Terrible, terrible call by the club. |

Everyone thought we were going to get at least the point we needed to guarantee safety against a badly out of form Crewe steam. Once again, we probably should've won the game but a late Crewe equalizer meant the last few minutes of a our disappointing season were played out in an almost bizarre fashion.
I had, somewhat embarrassingly, already secured the title in my own competition and burnsieespana was guaranteed to finish runner up. Spot on 1-1 predictions from gerry_us and wessex_exile helped them climb to third and fourth respectively as mfb_cufc dropped down to fifth. At the other end of the table oxfcolu stopped predicting some time ago which meant that durham_exile's blind optimism and a lack of Col U victories led to him finishing last of the active players.
A big thanks to everyone for taking part. I only set this competition up to replace the Interactive Predictions, that then made a return, and as I've struggled to keep up with the admin side this is likely to be it's first and only season.

Work has started on the pitch and is ongoing. Lots of activity and machinery at the stadium today. |
