I don't know why certain posters have to denigrate our new signings before even seeing them play, these will probably be the first to say we must get said signing back on a season long loan next season after he proves to be a success. Ipswich obviously see his potential as they have just extended his contract, Richie Wellens wanted him at Orient (slightly puzzled by this as he has big Harry) and JB obviously wanted him to come here. Now who should I believe the aforementioned or the doom and gloom merchants?, difficult question.

When we've had success or played a "top" team, we've regularly attracted higher attendances, but only as many as the ground will hold, ie, capacity. In the old first and second, on the way up and third south, we had several near capacity crowds. When we had success later, in the seventies and eighties, we had several 10000+ crowds, remember Villa in the cup, 14000+ I think and you couldn't have squeezed any more in. Since we've moved to six seats, we've had several capacity crowds and would have had far more had the ground allowed. As the population of the town has grown the capacity of NTFC has shrunk. A period of sustained succes in a bigger ground would see an increase in support. But we never seem to be able to capitalise on any success we have, as we've seen for the last 60 years.
It’s the lack of capacity crowds and the ease to be able to get tickets during times of success that has amazed me. I think historic attendances are a bit of a red herring, I think Charlton Athletic had a crowd of 75,000 In the past!. If we have potential we should be selling out home support right now.

You said we're waiting on the last one. Does that mean we've been unsuccessful on one?
One didn’t fall into place

Another striker?
You think we'll get it over the line?
Would probably class him as an attacker and honestly I don’t know, at the mercy of the parent club

I see Forest Green have signed another striker on loan. I don’t know if that now frees up Matty Stevens to come in a last minute deal or whether the deal was never on?

Any lights left on at Sixfields?
There’s usually an announcement on the iffy site to say no more business so I guess we are still trying?

Reckon we've missed out on this second signing today...at least we got one in!
Also, looks like Danny Johnson will be staying at Mansfield, so that'll help their promotion push...

What makes you think it won't happen, has there been an announcement?

If you look at the table right now we’d play fûcking Mansfield in the play offs again.
