    Media predictions (not ours)

    The so-called 'supercomputer' as 'revealed' by Football League World has predicted.......surprise, surprise! that the Alex will finish 19th this coming season.
    Predictably it predicts 3 relegated teams to go straight back up: Fleetwood; Vale (&#129313 and Cheltenham (and Bradford 4th!!)
    Also Bromley and Newport to be relegated. How they can make these kind of predictions so early when most teams haven't nearly completed their recruitment.
    I hope we can put up our own predictions later but not on this thread and at a more reasonable time when we have seen how things look at the start of the season.

    So far no promoted team since movement between the Conference and tier 4 was introduced has ever gone straight down....

    I will put up 1 prediction and that is we will finish higher up than 19. There are a lot of people out there making predictions about which teams are going up, which teams are going down and where other teams are going to finish. I have seen predictions for Crewe ranging from 7th to 19th with the likes of MK Dons, Doncaster, Gillingham, Bradford, Notts County and even Vale being tipped for promotion, 1 site even tipped Vale to finish top. Vale imploded last season with a lot of off field issues going on coupled with the fact that they were not very good. They have brought players in and probably have a decent budget but I don't see them as promotion contenders.

    As for the super computer it put us in the bottom half at the beginning of last season, so we can't take much notice of super computers its probably someone pulling team names out of a cardboard box.

    A bit early for predictions but we do look a decent squad so far and it will be interesting to see who else LB brings in. Will be interesting to take a look at the new signings in the Stoke match.

    Not making predictions atm. But looking at various media to see what they're saying. I thought most would be like Football League World and write us off.
    Ps. Why was the other site I mentioned blanked out? It didn't contain any foul language. *************
