I think so. They have splashed out a hell of lot of cash and made some excellent signings on paper including Byers from Wednesday, Croasdale from Stockport and 3 good strikers including Tolaj from Aldershot, Stockley from Fleetwood ,and Paton from Scotland.

Vale are my dark horses for the title along with Gills, Wimbledon and Bradford.

Vale will be up there

It pains me to say it, but I agree.

I haven't looked at the odds recently but I would think Vale would have to be the favourites now. They've chucked some right cash at it this "summer".

It's a long season, and depth of squad will be paramount. I'm not a betting man or I'd be sat on a blanket outside Primark, but I do have a feeling we'll surprise a few this season coming, and end up back in league one.

I agree. There's much talk about how difficult a step up may be. It's Division 2 but for me and many like me, it's League Division Four, the bottom league. Given we were often a League One team playing in the National League, we should do well. I've got a small bet to win it.

Hopefully,if we do achieve that,there will still be enough supporters left to enjoy it,as with the 'friendly' results up to now there are so many ready to slit their wrists it is worrying if we will be able to fill one side of the ground come November.

Don't fall into the trap that the well known half dozen or so negative posters are a true representation of the total fanbase. They moaned every match of last seasons record breaking effort and will moan pre season and every game next season.

Still about 5th favourites last time I checked.... 11/1

all we are saying, is give us ...a goal, or 2+
