Nothing like a bit of glory hunting??? Link to comment
minijc Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Been interested in them since the start of last season, some of their players are quality and I like the manager. Link to comment

Dandyjam Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Although they did well to get promoted, I think they'll struggle to stay up next season. Link to comment

Was never hard to get tickets in the past but its a small old style ground with about 15k capacity and terraces at both ends. Imagine in the Championship it will be tougher to get a ticket but should still be possible. You can buy them online and they'll post them to you. Link to comment

With some decent transfer dealings, and a couple of EPL loan signings, they'll no doubt be top 10ish I would think. Link to comment
SteveW Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Although they did well to get promoted, I think they'll struggle to stay up next season. Hard to tell. Their first 11 is very good, they have easily 7 or 8 players who would walk into any non-OF SPL team and probably 3 or 4 who could play for the OF. Think Rangers were sniffing around George Boyd. Their problems will be holding onto them all and trying to find affordable quality in the Summer. Their reserves are not really up to Championship level hence transfer listing about a dozen players. Ferguson has a policy of not signing big names - instead looking for the young and hungry guys but whether he can find kids who are good enough for the step up remains to be seen. Can't help thinking that a few experienced campaigners would be useful for the upcoming season. Mibbe they'll sign Severin and Mair? HAHAHA Link to comment

Guest LondonScottish Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Think you can get 50-1 on another promotion - worth a punt I think. That's pushing it. Solidify mid-table, then see what happens. Teams that rise too quickly usually get f@cked in the long run. You've also got to remember how many decent teams will fighting it out for promotion. I reckon Posh will finish 7th or 8th.

Depends who they bring in. Top notch strikeforce, decent defence with Morgan and Lee, not that strong in the middle of the park and at full back. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Think you can get 50-1 on another promotion - worth a punt I think. No chance although three successive promotions would be some achievement. I think Leicester have a great chance of promotion again though. That's pushing it. Solidify mid-table, then see what happens. Teams that rise too quickly usually get f@cked in the long run. You've also got to remember how many decent teams will fighting it out for promotion. I reckon Posh will finish 7th or 8th. They'd do very well indeed to clinch a mid-table finish, if they stay up it will be a great season. Link to comment
TMSM Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Think you can get 50-1 on another promotion - worth a punt I think. Do you know what price they were this season? Getting into the top 6 will be some ask and i struggle to see it personally but will most definetly be taking them in a head to head ante post bet for this coming season if the price is right Link to comment
