I can see both sides of the argument really. Ultimately we’ve achieved the main aim of staying up, but it’s been a very hard watch at times, especially away from home. I think Ipswich was actually the last time I saw us win on the road and I’ve been to 25+ away games in that time, including Stockport and Wycombe, different season, same .. etc. Is becoming harder and harder to summon up the enthusiasm and justify the petrol, tine and effort. I also know plenty who would normally have come to Wycombe and be showing interest in Stevenage, Pish, Northampton etc, but they’re just not interested this season. A shame but I can understand why. Yes, Ipswich away, last time I saw a victory on the road, since then it's all been pretty pathetic tbh. Was really hoping, even foolishly expecting this season to be different....

Well, the pre-season talk from the club was about kicking on and not merely settling for survival, so that probably did it's bit to raise expectations. I did think at the time it was over-optimistic for the resources we have and the pre-season predictions of Mr Tunbridge and Mr Morrison look way off reality now, but then again, scraping survival looks unlikely to be on this season's agenda, so they were kinda right, I guess...!

I will do Posh & Northampton as they are both closer to where I live than the Abbey. I'm 50/50 on Stevenage TBH when normally I would have gone as well. The fact its on Tuesday and the 2 trips there last year for evening games where both crap for different reasons doesn't help. Will probably see how we are doing nearer the time.

Yes Boro and Trampton will be my only two this season, I couldn't miss those.

For the first time ever when we are in the same division I will voluntarily not attend the Boro fixture for a mixture of reasons.
The main reason is it was purgatory sitting in that Main Stand last year but there are some obvious others as well.

Has Posh (a) been confirmed as a lunch time KO yet? I’m sure it will be but don’t recall seeing/hearing anything official. (Just to keep it on track- Loft will make his debut against them and score the winner then get injured as he over does the cartwheels)

Well, yeah. Last season we commented on how well home attendances stood up, in spite of the poor results. Seems likely we will now see the more usual consequence of never bloody winning: people staying away. I expect Saturday's attendance to start with a 5 rather than a 6. Lincoln travel well, so I can see this one being above 6,000

Fingers crossed! Not too tightly though, could cause a muscle injury.....

I’m thinking twice about going to Stevenage away also even though it’s the shortest drive for me to any game home and away. Last season was not pleasant with all the missiles raining down and the length of time it takes to get out the ground after the chavs have left the area and getting out of the car park. I imagine with it being on Sky+ aswell the away support will be significantly less than last season.
