Article in the Daily Telegraph

Apologies if this has been posted before - looked but couldn't see it - but noticable for Kevan Hurst looking suspiciously like Gareth Bale in the photo...

Good article though.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Why are we surprise promotion candidates?

We got 83 points or whatever it was 2 seasons ago, last season we were 4th and on our way to Wembley before injuries hit.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Perhaps because of the financial restraints that we are under ........... and Brown's poor record for the matches he was in charge last season.

And the South Bank stand looks good out of focus .....................:unsure:

Other teams have money to burn. We've barely got a Lidl value range pot to urinate in.

Probably because despite being in top 4 we finished no where near that and are renowned for money issues.

Most people on this board had us down as midtable up until a couple of weeks ago.:smile:

Who have?

There's Fleetwood but otherwise I thought everyone else was poor.

Chesterfield have some money as well

 

[Harry Bullocks]

And Bury !

Who have?

There's Fleetwood but otherwise I thought everyone else was poor.

I would have thought that Bristol Rovers and Oxford have fair sized budgets as well

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Accrington Stanley have a pile of money hidden away ............. or perhaps not ............. :facepalm:

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

We are still 15/1 with some bookies, where as Fleetwood and Chesterfield are 3/1 or 5/1 Bonkers.

I can understand why some say we're surprise candidates due to the embargo, but other than that we're always odds on for being there or thereabouts.

For me my hope was playoff spots and although with the run we're on I'm now hoping for more, I wouldn't complain at playoffs, it would be a good achievement taking all into account.
