Well it made me larf,

In my neck of the woods there is a story going round about Everton fans setting up a fake bus company to take L'pool fans to Paris and on the day no buses arrived and there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth by the hundreds of Reds who had bought coach tickets and formed up in orderly queues at the bus stop!!! This trumps it though!!

It would be interesting to hear from those who haven't renewed yet or have opted not to renew how much the cost of living is affecting their decision.

Wrexham certainly don't seem to be having any problem selling season tickets, despite this being their 15th season in the NL:

And we all know that season tickets across the river will sell out (if they haven't already done so). I guess the closest equivalents for us will be Chesterfield and Mansfield. If their sales dip, it may be part of a wider trend. Otherwise, it would be a worrying message for the Reedtz that despite having just achieved our best home record in years (since 2010?), some fans clearly aren't happy.

I am not renewing mine - even if we did sign up Mr Warnock as manager! Unfortunately it isn't cost but health that is the problem. I will go when I can but away games very unlikely. Don't like tippy tappy, don't like coaches rather than managers. I don't have much hope for next season for varying reasons. COYP.

I would still have renewed mine even if Jamie Fullarton had been reappointed as manager.

So, at the risk of this turning into a good old 20,000 page NCM sh1tfight, who'd have NA back?

No, 'cos the owners are part of the problem with the "model". Unless they change it to suit the rigors of NL, honestly can't see anybody being a success here

I heard about that. They even put Rich Arlison (i.e. Richarlison) as the bus driver. Brutal.

No. He failed here in multiple ways. Got us relegated, failed to get us promoted. Down-played the quality of our players. Talked up the opposition.

Bring in a winner.

I'd be happy with Askey. He's won the NL already. And with promotion last season, he'll come in with some positivity.

I don't think our previous two owners would ever have taken back a manager they had previously released/sacked because their egos wouldn't allow it. I would be less surprised if the Reedtz Brothers made such a decision because I think they're far more objective. If Ardley was the best manager available right now in their judgement, I think they would re-appoint him. It wasn't an acrimonious departure anyway, so I don't think there would have to be a huge amount of bridge building.

Would I have him back? Well, I was slightly surprised at the timing of his departure anyway, but my view would be pretty much as above. If he's the best manager available on the market right now, and if he's interested, then I wouldn't have any objection. Whatever you think of Ardley as a manager, I think most would agree he's a top bloke. It's only a rumour at this stage though, from a fairly dubious source.

As stated above, John Askey would be a great choice right now in my opinion, even though it's reported he's not interested.
