More chance of our game being on than theirs and I`d put that at about 0.000001%

They get next to no national television coverage. Which, given they are the nations favorite second team, must be quite distressing for fans the world over.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if lack of facilities and crap floodlights play a part in Sky deciding there are better places to spend their money.

Also League 2 barely gets a televised game at all - mostly treated as scheduled fillers during international breaks at best.

The whole EFL starts on 7 August and out of all the games to select , SKY will pick a league two game between Rovers and Mansfield is insane.

Some of the highlights...

Barrow away in August - bank holiday weekend by the sea, not sure if it has much of a beach though ?

Harrogate away 30th October - trick or treat? lets hope there's no horror show ?

Salford in November - probably flying high by this point but can they do it on a Tuesday night in Salford?

FGR away - big day out if away fans are allowed by then they will be taking it over, bring back happy memories of conference play offs ?

Boxing day - welcoming Sutton United to the Mem, a club who are famous mainly for 1 giant killing, maybe it will be 2 after this game? ?

No mention of the league cup?  Did they fail to qualify again?

I saw that a player (Ogogo) that the window lickers released turned down a chance for a pre-season 'trial' to earn a contract in favour of..... wait for it.......... a contract at Non League Southend United.

Well, if he gets a two year deal and the Shrimpers have a good season he`ll be a league above the fewers season after next.

Are Cheltenham the new Gillingham? A few seasons back City played Gills quite a few times in one season.

Now gas get to play Cheltenham the in the league, then meet in round one of the EFL cup and again in the EFL, sorry Papa John's Trophy.

Group E

Exeter

Bristol Rovers

Cheltenham

Chelsea

 

Will Wally have split loyalties when his beloved Chelsea turn up at the Mem?

Without looking I thought Cheltenham and the gas swapped places this summer so won’t be facing them in the league

Such a shame their first game isn’t their last , give us a hope of a repeat of that famous game  in 2014

I'd absolutely love them to forget their kit for that 1st game away at Mansfield, then get beat in Mansfield's 2nd kit.....

They haven’t ever sold out the Mem ... their capacity is 12,300 and their biggest crowd since they’ve been there is 12,011 against West Brom ...

that was kind of the point i was making as its been over 20 years since they last played us in the league..........

Really, "window lickers"  in these enlightened times - I thought we were supposed to be the neanderthals. ?

Guess who is who? Currently one team is three times better attended than the other.

You aren't allowed to apply facts to Gas Logic. Those attendances don't include the 100,000,000 fans that are constantly locked out of the ground every week. They would be averaging 1,000,000,000 if they had a new stadium which shows they are the bigger club.
