    even if they do get a buyer at the end of the week.

    If you click on the link to their official site in this link you will see they have only 19 players. That's across the board 1st team, under 23's and under 18's. They have a 12 point deduction too.... they easily could be down with the trimmings.

    They have a lot of our-of-work free agents lined up (Anthony Stokes and others). They will get enough players in to start the season.

    I think they will be resigned to relegation to L2. A few of the people I know who support them are.

    Maybe so BrunNer, but with no pre-season training games they will have no cohesion. Have the players even been training ? I can only see relegation for them.

    Bradford played Park Ave last night i think. Think Bolton played York though. Cancelled quite a few friendlies now.

    Yep. Bolton and Bury have already filled two relegation spots - but they will start the season.

    They are away at Wycombe on the 3rd. Nice easy one there. I reckon 4-1 Wycombe.

    Yes, then they have Coventry at home. 0-3. Suddenly the twelve points (I still think they may lose more for non fulfilment of fixtures, last season also),

    LOOKS LIKE A CHASM. (Sorry I nicked some capital letters from another poster).

    They need to rebuild in L2, or go under completely, but I think the latter is a very hard call for them. They are historically quite a big team & I think they'll take short term view that being in L2 for a season or two & coming back would be their realistic plan.
