Between the Conference and League Two?

I imagine attendances will remain relatively stable and nobody can convince me the quality of football won't be similar...

If they are the league leaders, this is an appalling league.

Spoke to someone who was at the game at their place who said they looked a very good side that day. Difficult in todays conditions and on that pitch to play much football.

Main difference I guess will be not playing the likes of Carlisle and York who can bring good away followings, not getting a game in the League Cup or JP Trophy, and having to qualify for the first round of the FA Cup.

I'm hoping the standard will be lower, if it isn't we are in trouble.


I suspect given how hard it's been for previously established league teams like Wrexham, Grimsby etc to make it back out that's it a decent standard. Reckon about the same.

The game at Burton they were equally as bad as today! The difference was we conceded on the stroke of half time so we had plenty of chance to fold like a pack of cards and literally let them walk through the middle of the defence after half time to put the game to bed and create as training match for themselves

Teams that come up usally do well in league two, that suggests it's a similar standard.

Was at a conference north game today - during the warm up, it looked like the players had some decent ability - 30 yard passes to feet, decent shots and control etc - Once the game began the difference became quite apparent.

From kick off for pretty much the whole of the first half you saw headless chickens and panic football - no one tried to slow the game and it was played at 100 mph - hoofball mixed with endless balls pinged towards the corners of the pitch for the pacy winger to run on to

The second half saw a bit more football, but that's due to the players being knackered after racing around like lunatics for 45 mins

Cracking day out though - old school banter with the players - reminded me of standing in the Vic 25 years ago.
