I've never got the mentality - in any season - of aiming for anything less than winning the league. "Aiming for the play-offs" seems to suggest you're not aiming to win every game you play.

Dave_Og Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Getting into the play-offs means getting into the top 29% of teams in this league which includes maybe four (anyone know?) part time outfits and another half dozen or so whose home gate rarely rises above, say, 1,500. There is no way on earth that merely getting into the play-offs can be any measure of success, albeit that it would represent progress. Given the promotion structure then top of the league is the aim with top three being just about acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its underestimated how much easier winning the playoffs is coming 2nd or 3rd which has been proven over the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things not going well at Swindon. Hell, they're so bad that we even get a mention: Swindon Town are sleepwalking into non-league and running out of hope (inews.co.uk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick26 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) Big event on at the OEC and rugby tweeting about a big announcement - we'll be involved in this won't we? Guinness world record event for dancing! Hope the pitch can take it. Charity event split between Alzheimer's and Rob Burrow's charity. Edited June 12 by mick26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could learn a lot from the rugby their social media and commercial output is far superior than ours and they are a semi professional team.

Sorry but that's complete bollocks, they are mid season you know, I wouldn't even know they existed if I didn't search for it. Give examples of this so called superiority then, I'm intrigued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the National League precludes us from doing likewise however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter presence is good, plenty of clips and interviews - suppose it's just a case of following on twitter or subscribing to the YouTube channel to make the most of it.

Their commercial manager gets out into the community to drum up business. 2. Highlights and behind the scene interviews with players. Sees a connection with players. we can’t even send out sponsored shirts… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie Down Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 They are doing the dance thing in May 2025. That will be after Latics finish and before the annual pitch renovation. As for the rugby, they are similar to Latics in that they are trying to do things properly and restore the club after a generation of abuse and neglect. I support both and more power to the people who are trying to revive professional sport in the town. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
