The new season is only one day away, and Stan is hoping to make at least one more signing - triallist David Unsworth, though if you read what the Gaffer says closely it looks like money is the sticking point.

Ternent: Town Ready To Rumble

Safe to assume that Unsworth (or his agent) is asking for top dollar. Knowing full well that he is wanted, and using that as a bargaining tool. It would be a shame if some middle ground could not be found between our estimate and his.

Who is going to do well in League One this season. It's easy (and a bit lazy) to say that the relegated teams have the best chance for a return. I disagree however. I expect Leicester to be there or thereabouts, but cannot see any chance of a quick promotion for Scunthorpe or Colchester.

It grieves me to say it but Leeds have to figure don't they (except when they play us), and of the League 2 promotees it will be likely that Peterbrough will do the best.

To go down? Probably Hereford and Hartlepool, although I can see Millwall struggling. My near-neighbours Crewe Alex missed relegation by a gnats eyelash last season, however (and it grieves me to say this as well) I don't think they will figure in the basement scrap this time.

As for Towns prospects - well, as usual play-offs will have to be minimum, but I can definitely see us doing better than that. I can see us in the top 2 easily as long as we don't lose key players, and the new boys gel early. A Centenary season to remember? Why the hell not.

COME ON STAN, RONNIE AND THE LADS - GIVE US SOMETHING TO CHEER!!!!
