7011 please

The thing I feel with VAR is the reliance on the "outside referee". I do believe if the touchline screens were used, as was originally intended, then we may see the referee ( actual ) be more willing to use their previous experince. The system seems to allow those with VAR to rely on that. The ones without seem to think, maybe VAR would give that, so I will too just incase.

Nice to see the optimism here. It is what you get in the cup, no reason why we cannot get a result. They are having a bad time at the moment form wise.

4190 please

If they are allowed back it is a nonsense, they knew the rules. Numerous opportunities (some may have been dismissed by Dale before deemed viable) but failed to get anything done by the deadline through their own ineptitude. The EFL has and it seems will continue to open a can of worms. I feel for the fans and the issue is still raw. But you cannot change a rule after it has been broken to fix it. You can change a process to make sure it doesnt happen again.

It’s not far off £2m that we’ve made from the FA Cup over the past two years and when you think that our turnover is about £2.2m then that’s not bad at all. https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/17438052.millions-made-from-fa-cup-run-says-newport-county-afc-chairman-gavin-foxall/ Money from the cup, need I say more

Bet Victor have Crewe @ 8-1 to finish bottom 2 and Vale @ 12-1, so obviously he must lay the odds Anyway I predict a mid-table finish, hopefully an improved match day experience @ home. Then futher progression in seasons to come.

A much better way forward Looks better with no sponsor, as do all shirts.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49034775 So they start with -12 points. I still find it hard to believe, they were allowed to go up, when they clearly could not afford to pay for the players that acheived it. Anyway I hope they can get over the next hurdle re HMRC, but it shows how things can go badly wrong if the money is not there.
