I think Brannigans exact quote about our current number was worded carefully saying 'sales are up on this time last season'.
If we had already exceeded last seasons total he wouldn't have had added the qualifier in there, so if we were approaching 6k at the end of July last year i imagine our current number at the end of June is probably around the rumoured 6k.

No king it was misquoted by Kendrick and corrected later!He actually said it was higher than the final total last year

I think Shrews will be better but i wouldn't fancy them for promotion as there is so much competition.
Sheff Wed and Ipswich i think will be very strong for the top 2.
Then you expect Peterborough, MK, Wycombe to run them close.
Then you've got the likes of Bolton, Oxford, Plymouth, Pompey, Charlton in the mix.
Then depending on what happens with Derby they could be a real wildcard.
I'm glad we went up as i think this year will be even more competitive.

Good news. With another month to go hopefully it will be a big increase.

I remember John Gad he used to have the Aladdin's Cave shop down Newtown across from the Bowling Green pub.
Indeed he did !…..I remember when it was Jackie Peacock’s bookies (or was that next door ?
)

Peacocks betting shop was next door, Melling's shoe shop on the other corner of Grosvenor Street.

I think his club said there has been no contact.
I'm not sure we'd get a work permit either.
Reminds me of that rumour about the Turkish striker a year ago that turned out to be nothing.

Apparently Watt's has been told he can go out on loan and we are one of several clubs interested.
For me he is a good L1 stopper but for the left hand side of a back 3 in the Championship you need someone better on the ball.
I think he was our 4th best centre back last season and ideally we want to bring in someone better than the 3 we currently have.

Well there is not alot of championship clubs interested apart from us, after 2 full seasons in league one. He started off very strong but like you said, latter half he was our 4th best.

I think that probably coincide with the style of play evolving. At the start when we were 4 at the back and not asking the defenders to play out and going long all the time, the ball was constantly coming straight back at us so it played to Watts' strengths in aerial battles.
But as we started to change system, trying to play more football and centre backs asked to be more on the ball it didn't suit him as much.

I can't see how we'd get a work permit for a player not yet capped by his country. Non starter I suspect.
