Beat Mansfield 3-5 on penalties

My mistake regarding Newport who now play either Tranmere or FGR

:oops:

According to Sky tv commentator last night,Newport have achieved the play offs despite one of the 3 lowest budgets for the season in l2,just shows again that money is not everything,just saying!

They bagged circa £2 million from their FA Cup run the season just finished and with gates of 8000 their income per month is still way above ours and a number of other clubs in the league.

I can imagine the players did well out of win bonuses and possibly cup incentives.

Good luck to them...maybe next season we can do something similar re FA Cup run... :?: :?: :?:

If you think Newport will average 8,000 attendances you are dreaming. Their ground doesn't even hold that :lol: !

And a manager is sacked just because they failed in the play offs.... :roll:

FFS that's bloody ridiculous.

If Mansfied use that as the criteria at their club going forward then they deserve to be in a relegation dog fight and the sooner the better.

On the Stags forum they are talking about having a budget of £3 million and that for some it has been wasted.

An inexperienced in-house Youth Team Manager has been appointed which has divided opinions.

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Losing £10,000,000 per year!
Sold 5,000 season tickets, used to sell 10,000.
Average attendance 11,827
Ex-Premiership club
In the last four season, sold more than £21 million pounds worth of players (plus half a dozen "undisclosed").
In the same period, they spent £2.6 million plus eight "undisclosed" fees.

All that one league above us?

Sorry... I'm not sure what it is you're "just saying"?
