if they are in a position to buy all these names why didn't they just do it last year BEFORE they got relegated? :?:

Good player is Elding. Always rated him.

I read in the NLP yesterday he was looking for a new club.

I do think that Darlington should make play offs and that Crawley Town should aim for playoffs also considering the money the team spent.
Good luck Grimsby still I do not think they will go up.
Money is on Luton Town

Grimsby will be (literally) a big fish this year in the BSP.

Not sure about them winning the title though, their manager strikes me as being a bit too relaxed and laid back. Never once saw him shout any instructions to his team last year in their defeat at CP, his (then) assistant Chris Casper was doing all the coaching / praising / b*ll*cking. And he has just left to pastures new and a role in the Premier League.

Sure I recall reading the Grimsby fans forum and how they feel the same about their manager too, no "ooomph" in him whatsoever.

The former league teams always say they're going straight back up, and rarely do. It's generally the established conference teams that know what it's all about that do better.

it's a tough leauge the Conference, lots of teams think they'll bounce straight back up but struggle. Some big spending going on in there both from established teams and also from those who dropped down, but there's only 2 places up for grabs amongst the many.

Fancy Crawley though to make an impact and Grimsby to be there or there abouts

Scar I am with you on this verdict of Crawley Town.

And also I know money does not get you success but my god have they signed some good players the one there got from Peterboro looked excellent vs morecambe when he was on loan at Lincoin
