    I don't understand what docking points is supposed to achieve in this situation. How will that help the other clubs if Wigan run out of money and can't fulfil their fixtures? I think the League wants to be seen to be doing something. In the German professional leagues there is a licensing system. Clubs have to present their financial information to the German FA - including sponsorships, projected crowds and the playing budget. If they expect to make a loss, they have to provide proof of funds, otherwise there's no license and it's off to the regional leagues they go. It's a very harsh system though and clubs often get reprieved from relegation because others have been ejected.

    Off the top of my head, the club will get 590,000 pounds per season from the TV deal (the BT Sport deal is a fraction of that) and there's also EFL funding for the youth system, something like 250,000 pounds. And maybe some extra money from an actual cup run as well? The owners have already been putting a lot of money into the club to fill the gaps, so it won't necessarily go into the playing budget. But I think we're very competitive there anyway.

    Clickbait-tastic. We can ignore this one.

    There are some real crackers there, but Langstaff's goal against Wrexham was a superb team goal.

    This is really sad news, I always assumed that he had drifted away, which sometimes happens on football forums. I remember him well, he was a very enthusiastic and passionate poster on here. RIP Pete ????

    Of all the players we've offered contacts to, Rodders will probably be the hardest to hold on to. He's given us three great years and was a key part of the promotion team. Hopefully he'll decide to stick around, but if he does leave I wish him all the best (providing he doesn't do something stupid, like sign for Mansfield). The good news is that in Jones and Austin, we've already got replacements on board, if we need them.

    It already is @Chris, my iFollow app (I subscribed for radio coverage) carries the tagline "the home of PiesPlayer". So all the PiesPlayer videos and highlights will be available on iFollow, and you'll be able to choose what kind of subscription you want and whether you want streaming. I've had a look at Luton's offering for this season, they charged 140 pounds for a video season pass for overseas fans and 45 pounds for the (frankly pointless) commentary and highlights package in the UK (most matches aren't streamed in the UK due to the 3pm Saturday blackout and the Sky broadcasting deal). The good news is that they stream midweek matches that are not broadcast live on Sky for 10 pounds apiece in the UK too, so you shouldn't miss out entirely.

    They've missed the boat, it's all a bit pointless now. In July we'll all be thinking of next season, and some of our promotion heroes might have moved on by then. Very poor.

    I subscribed to it from when they started streaming up to relegation. Two seasons I think. It wasn't that great at first, but it improved a lot. We're four years down the line now, so I'll definitely be subscribing and I expect good things. As an overseas fan, streaming services are an absolute godsend. However, when matches were picked for live Sky coverage, there was no stream even if you were abroad. I wonder if that'll be different now - National League TV showed every match regardless of whether it was on BT Sport.
  10. DangerousSausage
    Good for them. A lot of Florist fans have been very gracious towards us, and it has been noted. There are still a few who claim they single-handedly saved Notts because they threw a pound in a bucket in 2003 and we should now worship the ground they walk on, but all clubs have their idiots. All that said, I'd really like us to pose a real threat to them on the pitch before I'm old and wobbly, and that's rather more realistic if they go down a league or two!
  11. DangerousSausage
    Yes there is @Fan of Big Tone, it's called iFollow and it started the season we got relegated I think. Different clubs charge different prices, but it tends to be a touch cheaper than National League TV. I'm hoping to hear something from the club soonish! I'm not sure about domestic streaming though, it might not be available on Saturdays. We'll find out soon enough.
  12. DangerousSausage
    That's an interesting idea @liampie, I might just do that!
  13. DangerousSausage
    We were the first to reach 4,000, but Preston and a handful of other clubs have already beaten us to 5,000. Burnley, Wolves, Derby, Bolton and West Brom have also overtaken us. Blackburn have played two more than us so will hit 5,000 first, but we will overtake them again if they reach the Premier League in the near future. Likewise, we will close the gap on Burnley and Wolves the longer they stay in the PL, as they play 8 fewer fixtures. We had played the most games because we were the founder member that had spent the least time in the top flight. Which isn't that much to brag about if you think about it!
  14. DangerousSausage
    @CliftonMagpie, by my calculations, it'll take another 1,215 years before we hit 50,000 League games. I'll be around for that as I'm an immortal robot, but the rest of you won't ???? Jesting aside, I remember the 4,000th game, I think it was against Rochdale in Sam Allardyce's championship-winning season. I don't think we made a fuss of that, there was just a mention in the media. Crazy how time has flown. By the way, Salford City are the only team in the League we haven't played against in a competitive league fixture (although we have in the cup, which is best forgotten about). Since they're not going up, we'll be one of a handful of teams to complete the full set next season.
  15. DangerousSausage
    The EFL website has us on 4,986 Football League games @Chris, so that'll exclude cup games and probably the playoffs. So matchday 14 is the one to look out for. At times some of us have wondered whether we'd return to the League at all, so it would be good to see the club make a fuss of this!
  16. DangerousSausage
    To date, Notts have played 4,986 games in the Football League. So, alongside all the nice things we have to look forward to like the Checkatrade Trophy and a trip to Crawley, next season will also see our 5,000th game in the League in about October. We won't be the first club to hit this milestone, but it would be great if the club made an event of this. Hopefully we're at home! By my reckoning we've also played 13 games in the playoffs, which would put us on 4,999. But I'm not sure you can count them.
  17. DangerousSausage
    I like the sound of that @Chris, he's a great asset too. If Rodders leaves, Jones signing would cushion the blow as he could play in his position. Jones is also one of the players who has already proven himself at League level. I'm hoping to hear about the first contract extensions once players get back from Ibiza and sit down with their agents.
  18. DangerousSausage
    I'm glad that the club are trying to keep the existing squad together as much as possible so we can carry on our momentum next season. The players we've released also make sense - if you're barely featuring in the NL, it won't get any easier to get game time in L2. For me, the question marks were whether we'd keep Rawlinson, Slocombe and Jimbo. I thought we'd take an opportunity to upgrade the back line a bit, and Jimbo won't be a regular starter. That said, I think they're all good enough for League 2 and they deserve their deals. I wonder who will actually sign up. For what it's worth I think Rodders is off, but I'm quietly confident the others will stay.
  19. DangerousSausage
    I'm totally with you @menzinho, we'll be able to look back on some of the general tinpottery and smile now. I remember there being a bit of a fall-out with Kings Lynn's vampire owner too. Hopefully we'll move on to better things now, but that also involves more visits to bland out-of-town stadiums. Personally I'm a sucker for an away ground with 15 stands and traditional terracing. Also, if you get knocked out of the FA Cup by Red Lion Old Boys FC in the fourth qualifying round, nobody cares apart from a few non-League anoraks. If that happened in the first or second round, we'd be on BBC One. All the same, I'm very glad we're out of it now. It's always a bad sign when fans of rival clubs feel sorry for you.
  20. DangerousSausage
    He's earned a bit of a party after this season. Someone should just make sure he doesn't accidentally sign for Wealdstone while he's drunk ???? By the way, 50 goals from 120-odd games is a return most strikers would be proud of.
  21. DangerousSausage
    Unfortunately I've decided that I'm going to win it next season. I might let you finish in the top half if you're good.
  22. DangerousSausage
    Maybe he's finally found his level. Awful keeper.
  23. DangerousSausage
    That's the dream. Over the years we've seen a lot of teams surge up the leagues once they finally get their ducks in a row. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be us for once? We are getting a little bit ahead of ourselves though, we'll have to acclimatise to League Two again, and it's much more evenly matched and competitive than the National League. We'll lose more matches and we won't always have it our way. Doing a Luton is the dream, but right now I'd settle for doing a Lincoln.
  24. DangerousSausage
    Hey @Fan of Big Tone, great to see you back! Looking forward to reading you again. Prediction league next season?
  25. DangerousSausage
    I think he's hammered. You might want to keep an eye on that one ????
