There wasn't a league 2 thread.
Everything just gets put into the football league thread

Yeah, I know, but that seems to cover all the divisions, including some that have nothing to do with County at that point in time. Just thought there may be a need for a streamlined thread pertaining to the season County will experience. I will still be clicking on the Football League thread regardless.

I like the idea of a thread dedicated to our division it just seems more relevant.

Not many years back a division 1 thread would have been totally pointless for us and it would have been hard to imagine anyone setting one up.

He's not someone you'd think of as manager material but he's been involved in top flight football since the age of 16 and it's a fairly simple game so he knows it inside out. Yep and whilst not typical manager material he was an intelligent player. Two different jobs and a different intelligence needed. Compare Hamaans playing record to DC and then compare them as managers.

I'd agree with this, his time at Derby although he didn't keep them up in the end he made a very good go of it. The Birmingham appointment could speak volumes because eventually they went down, but I'd wait to see at least what unfolds at Plymouth to really judge him. If you're a famous player, you've taken a few jobs they've not really worked out do you stop there or put your hat in the ring for others? You could say that's exactly what he's done with Plymouth. I kind of admire him for putting himself back in the firing line after the stick he got for his Brum spell. He's a wealthy man & could live a very comfortable life with no football related flak but he obviously loves the game & believes he can do a job at management level. The job must be stressful and like you say he doesn't need it, so he has to be doing it for the right reasons.

Rooney's win rate as manager:
Derby 28.2 % DC united: 26.4 % Brum: 13.3 %

Surprised this hasn't popped up yet, and maybe it has been touched on in various other threads, but don't we need a new thread for our new league? You all on that side of the pond have a lot of info and experiences with our next crop of opponents than I could ever have. I remember having to order magazines / season previews from over there each season and trying to figure out who I would like or hate based on those magazines, then what info I could find on an early version of the internet. Stories, best or worst days out, best/worst experiences against our upcoming opponents? Still hoping to make it back over this year once I see the fixture release. Help an American (not a Yankee) Hatter out. I was surprised to hear people not excited about Blackpool as it was one of your beach towns, but from reading in another thread, seems not all that awesome. I figure to probably have to fly into London (Pugs and Leyton Orient) but have to see at least one at Edgeley again, and maybe a localish derby. I'm sure the schedule makers will screw me, but remain cautiously optimistic that there will be a series of matches I can see that will not be affected by weather. If you want to be sure not to be affected by the weather, avoid November to February and you should be fine. 👍

A bit grey and rainy, but not too bad temperature wise. Was thinking about that time frame as well, as early season I have too many things lined up on this side of the pond. A nice problem to have would be demand for tickets through the roof as County fights for promotion again. I know a year of consolidation may actually benefit the club in the long run, but momentum says we will at least challenge for playoff position.

Sorry, not having this. It’s getting merged into the Football League thread.
We’ve tried dedicated league threads before and they just get messy. A L1 player moves to a Championship club, where do you put it?
Merging threads.

Nah, we need a thread for each of the 92 clubs, plus NL clubs and every possible combination of transfer/game between each pair. Surely you haven’t got anything better to do?
