Great story :) Would love to see Plymouth Argyle in the prem. How are attendances holding up to the bigger clubs in the division? Have they expanded the ground yet?

Were only pulling in about 13,000 for games with Middlesbrough & Derby and there has been nothing on extending the ground but i have a sinister reason for not asking. Im hoping when we've spent a few season in the Premiership i'll ask for and get a whole new stadium as were only renting home park from the council and it will have a limited expansion capacity so i assume a new premiership stadium will be bigger with more potential too expand but need to get there before we can plan for it

Our busiest January so far was funded by sales of Anthony O'Connor & Hamedallah and the wage munching James Forrest

Cardiff keep that 10 point gap in check as everyone else catches up with Wolves leaving anyone for 2nd to 13th free to fight for Promotion. At the other end Yeovil's awful season will end with them bottom while Leyton orient, Wigan & Blackburn look like 2 from 3 will go.

6 games to go and here's our scenario's
Win every game and we have a shot at automatic promotion
Keep up current form and we'll stay in the playoffs
A poor run now with 4 teams right on my tail will mean no play offs.

View attachment 286925


What a game and what a way to go up! The first half hour was all Wolves they were 2-0 up and we were down to 10 men. A change in formation seemed to work better than our 11 man effort! 3 goals in 5 minutes amazingly had us ahead at the break. Wolves Dicko pulled it level again and just as i was starting to turn defensive and hope for a counter goal which came through Bressan. 20 minutes of parking the bus and actually came closer to grabbing another than giving any away!



​
 
GET IN MATE! Great way to ease the heart ache from last season! Good luck in the prem!
 
Awesome stuff. Congratulations, and good luck in the Premiership.
 
awesome, word of advice in the premier league, youll need a goalscorer as its harder to score goals than its is to shut up shop
 
Well done - hope you smash it in the premier league
