I didn't realise that expecting a little more than survival in the final 2 weeks of the season in League 1 when your club spent 600k on transfer fees in the summer is... 'unreasonable'. What's the point in going to matches if you're just content with survival every season? I'm sure even RW isn't happy after the money he spent last summer. are you suggesting we live beyond our means for a while ? how many example do you want ? www.lancashirebusinessview.co.uk/latest-news-and-features/rovers-report-168m-lossUmm.. where did I suggest that?? What I'm saying is, if a League 1 team spends 600k on transfer fees, then I'd be expecting that club and it's supporters to be a little more ambition than being content with staying up 2 weeks before the season ends whether that be Salop or any other club.

Do you actually have a brain? We made a net profit in the summer after Toto and Nolan. We lost assets of greater value than the assets we brought in essentially. We aren't content with survival every season - we were 90 minutes away from the championship last season. With gates of about 6,000.

At the very least a sigh of relief that with such a chaotic, up and down season we've managed to hold on and have another go at this level next season. For all the additional investment we saw it's only going to bring about success if other factors work out too; I think we got it wrong with Askey, struggled from the off and the season never really got started. The league campaign anyhow. After seeing 3rd and 4th division football for so long now I'm desperate for a spell in the 2nd flight. And we're only going to be able to get a shot at that whilst we're sat in the 3rd. Not anything to celebrate of course but I do think we did well to avoid the drop with everything that's gone on. I'm mightily please that we did and we can at least have another go at this level next season. I've had enough of the 4th division for a bit...

It all goes full circle with the Hurst Effect . To come so close in a exciting season was always going to be hard for the next chapter. I’ll settle for the roller coaster that is STFC and more highs than lows next season. The stoke and wolves games were great let’s hope for some exciting signings and beating Bolton down here.

I doubt any club has ever been fined for fans going on the pitch at the end of the season.

I doubt any club has ever been fined for fans going on the pitch at the end of the season. Yes but not many players had been punched by a fan during a game before this season. Times have changed and little old Shrewsbury even got fined for a pensioner walking on the pitch after a game.

Anybody confirm rumours The Rock has been done over by the station. Friend said it's swarming with police and yobs scattering in all directions. This sounds ominous. Long day ahead.

If we get fined, or worse,for some stupidity today .....

Umm.. where did I suggest that?? What I'm saying is, if a League 1 team spends 600k on transfer fees, then I'd be expecting that club and it's supporters to be a little more ambition than being content with staying up 2 weeks before the season ends whether that be Salop or any other club. ok, I didnt read your post properly, I read it that you were saying it was unreasonable to only spend 600k

Maybe some won’t want to celebrate but it would be an opportunity to send off those players who have done their best, and succeeded, in keeping us up who we won’t see again in a Shrews Shirt, I.e., Docherty and Campbell. There’s also Mat Sadler who may, or may not, be with us next season. It has been a difficult time but we have managed to come through it and that’s something to be glad about for sure. Very well put. I don’t think “celebrate” was the right word in the original post but there’s no reason not to applaud the efforts of the players over the season, even if the team hasn’t been good, and to say goodbye to those leaving. Isn’t it the mark of good supporters that they support come what may, not just when things are going well and it’s easy? Hard to do, as I find myself, but it’s true. That team is no more after today so why not just say thanks for their efforts and we all move on? Fine if you don’t appreciate anything the players have done this season - but still a bit miserable.

World of difference between getting behind them for 90 minutes and then dodging the 'lap of honour' or whatever it is. It also has nothing to do with next season. Frankly, this forum would be a much better place if people just let others follow the team how they see it fit, stop the snide little remarks about being so called supporters and stop calling people miserable sosos, because they recognise, that actually, there is nothing to 'celebrate'. Well said. The way some people pounce on anything remotely critical of "Sam" is becoming cringe worthy.

Just watching the way the Macclesfield fans are responding to not getting relegated after a dour season.

They're celebrating retaining their Football League status after being seven points adrift in late November, which is a much different scenario.

So to satisfy my own dreary curiosity, how far up our league would we need to finish in your opinion, to warrant some kind of after match thank you, well done, good luck round of applause type thing?

I haven't said we shouldn't have such a thing, but as others have rightly pointed out there is nothing to celebrate which was the original point raised.

Someone forgot to tell the guys that felt the need to throw a flare onto the pitch. Not overly impressed by some in block 19 today

We were 7 points clear of the bottom 4 when SR took over. Macc, as pointed out, were 7 points adrift when Campbell took over. No comparison. By your definition, we are thanking our players for staying in the league by 2 points. after a position of strength. And thanking them for a **** poor 2nd half performance which sums up or overall season. If you're ok with that, then crack on. Some people aren't.

And thank you for being so well behaved. Well done.

I don't understand how people can't seem to accept our point of view. If you think it's been a good season then fine, celebrate how you feel fit, I however think it's been a p**s poor season.

(apart from last season) since getting back in league 1 we have hovered near the bottom of the table . i had hoped when we moved to the new stadium we would show some progression to a mid table league one team. i feel we have had a dire season, with dire football the Wycombe game was one of the worst performances i have seen town produce and the two late goals cant gloss over what happened before that. we live to fight another day but a season to mainly forget.

Definitely a season to forget. However, it surely mustn’t be forgotten that, although I agree some of it has been dire, we have had some unfortunate decisions against us and yes I know this will go for all clubs. Should we have been awarded and scored the penalties that were not given, our points total would have been better. Portsmouth, Barnsley and Doncaster are the ones that spring to my mind. Don’t know if there are any others?
For me, I’m ready to move on to next time and see what happens.
