Like a lot of things in this league, stuff gets completed naused up, and our ticket control is a bit grim at the moment. For what it's worth you definitely had over 1000 in the North Stand.

They are having a torrid time in fairness. Somehow they’ve gone backwards since Ricketts which is mightily impressive

It's all about timing with managerial appointments, the Shrews were punching above their eight with Hurst and Askey got the job at the wrong time.

I saw their opening game. They were poor and must be certainties for relegation.

Yet they're third or something in league 1.

If things don't work out with Parky, Coleman would be my main man. Obviously I hope it does work out for Parky.
