In stark contrast to our fixture excitement...

[Bozza]

...the stark realisation of 4th Division football has hit the Brizz Rovers fans here in the office today, and I can understand why.

It really is a shocking division with no stand-out fixtures at all.

 

[Notters]

...

That's a pretty good start.

It's all downhill after that

 

[Gazwag]

Sat May 5 Dagenham & Redbridge A (F.A. Cup Final)

They are quite ambitious though

 

[Waynflete]

Wouldn't the Swindon game be at least something to look forward to? M4 derby and all that?

 

[theonesmith]

I think Brizzle could bounce straight back up though, hope so as I've always been well received at the Memorial Ground and as a club goes, it's one of the better ones

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I've a friend on the staff there, and from speaking to him this week, those inside the club are very optimistic abouth the coming season.

They are well pleased with Buckle, and with the signings.

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

It's the start of the season that always hits hardest when relegation comes. On more than one occasion I've clicked on a website link scanned at the fixture list and wondered why Luton's fixtures hadn't been listed, and then the sad realisation hit me. You'd think I'd be used to it.

 

[captainmorganrum]

Well, tell the Gasheads I'd love to be in that division and be sharing in all the fixture excitement today.

Bloody Blue Square Premier.

New rivalries are born by chance and sometimes you don't know whether you'll hate someone until you meet them. A night in Morecambe, if that is a place, might provoke a newfound despision that lasts for life.
The division looks dire, but they should have the belief that they'll go on an energetic run and move on back up.

"... despision ...." - I think you've invented a new word MB !

 

[Wozza]

I dunno. For one reason or another, I'd quite enjoy AFC, Hereford, Crawley, Aldershot, Vale, Stanley, Barnet, Southend, Swindon...

But, no, wouldn't swap for Championship.

 

[Giraffe]

League two is a dreadful league for sure. Although at least it's not quite as Northern as it used to be.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

It's tough...but somebody has to do it....just glad it's not us¬!

 

[Whitterz]

As said cant believe 2 years ago we nearly fell through the trap door. Russel Slade

 

[danwa08]

back crawley to win it.......

 

[chucky1973]

a local derby against Plymouth would interest them....for a bit

and who can forget the jontstones paint pot trophy too!

I won't miss the JPT
