If so yes. We could all just sit there crappin ourselves thinking 'we'd better not get too excited eh. It might go wrong'. At least if you've got excited now you've had a little fun along the way.

I’m excited but also don’t want to jinx it and then have county and Lincoln fans give me stick.

They’ll give you stick whatever happens so you might as well enjoy it. This is the best time to be a Stags fan.

This time last season, Accrington were 5th on 52 points, 11 behind Luton. We were 4th on 53 points having just beaten Barnet and we were a point behind Notts. Coventry weren't in the Play Offs, neither were Lincoln. A lot can happen yet.

It's not arrogant to wonder where we might lift the trophy if we win it. Bookies have us second favourites. I'd argue that we actually have the best squad in the league and have a great chance of winning the title. No one is saying WHEN we win, it's IF we win. Nothing wrong with that.
And jinxes? Seriously? Do you believe in the Easter Bunny too?

He got plenty else wrong though. The only way we can look at this is to ask, from witnessing first hand so far this season, have we seen a better team than us? For me the answer is no. That alongside our league position and remaining fixtures tells me we have a great chance. Whether we do it or not is down to more than that, but we're in the conversation.

Only going by report Saturday but sounds like we were lucky not to lose and they are second from bottom
Every team creates chances and we took ours (scrappy or not)
We could lose the next 2 games. Did you see the pitch at Newport tonight? That will not be good for us and county is anyone's game.
Bury forest green and Exeter are the ones I'm concerned about so far.
The reason I'm a bit optimistic is walker grant Cj and rose on the bench we can score and that's how you win games.
You could go undefeated all season and end up with 46 points.

We're gonna win the league. Balls to this let's stay calm and grounded. How often in the past 10-15 years have we been able to get excited? Not often, let's enjoy this.

Pretty sure that was before the Notts home game and I said that we don't lose to them. Every superstitious bogger on here got out their lucky charms and started doing counter-curses. Good job they did, cos we won.

I drove by and I would say around 60 queuing at 9.45. Is it still multiple purchases allowed?

I think if you ain't got one now, you're looking at the Pavis.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

Why wait so long to send them though when some have already got them for the home ends
You can't really go "oh, I got one for the home end and don't want it now so I can go in the away end"

To be fair, a lot of people jumped the gun and got tickets in the home end. It's not going to be a stadium sell out, so why rush it? Could've just waited until next week

You probably answered you own question?
The one week delay has actually triggered more seat sales (maybe 50 or so generating £1000?)
Notts County know we will shift the extra 300 or so anyway hence this delay (cynical maybe?)

Not trying to be a party pooper but we need to keep level headed or risk being branded arrogant in the same way as fans of certain clubs we like to dislike due to arrogance.
We have to continue performing as we only have to look back at last season to see how things can implode. Lets secure a top half finish first, then target the play-offs (which would be our highest league finish since 2004) do that and lets try to secure automatics. Do that and then and only then should any talk of a title be discussed.
Know what I mean.
